played straw kind of wood, the basic materials used to build what's often called indigenous architecture. let's go down and look the other because that's what history shows that this type of construction is durable and conserves resources. there are many very old earth and buildings still standing today that have withstood earthquakes and hurricanes. concrete has only been around for a 150 years and it fails time and again, good stuff again, the how can the old building techniques be revived? i could look at some point the most important take one important aspect, you know, the house that i've taken into consideration. you can't access this knowledge simply by substituting the material. it's about a deeper understanding. what are the traditional, indigenous building techniques and what are their strength systems was for the surrounded by

a pine and oak forest, the sun easy through a project. the training center is located quite close to the mexican town of glasgow. 150 kilometers from the capital. mexico city architect alejandra come by here a winter team are researching ancient building techniques used by the countries indigenous peoples. the indigenous architecture for bio architecture is sustainable and closely linked to the environment and nature here lay there is i thought the 1st step is to analyze the local climate policy, lima wireless, of what materials are available in the region any that which can be obtained in sustainable ways, w yeah. then you start to think about a design that uses the local materials and techniques. there's not a sense we bring a no materials from outside the region, so or as few as possible. we've already reduced the projects,

carbon footprint. in the way you have the credible one big advantage of this method is that it's very climate friendly and buildings constructed using old techniques. also with stan natural disasters like earthquakes very well. that's down to the materials that they largely consist of. clay and cooling fibers or straw, come up, you know, what you see must see that there are a lot of fibers in there that can flex. is the size we have that makes and building more cars. quick prove, still, do i still a some way when the ground moves everything and the structure moves along with that? it is optimal, but it doesn't tear or break it with us because i think has proven itself over many decades over millennia inside pick the materials which stand practically every earthquake sees most sugar, starch, and count on has been added to this much to give it greater plasticity and to reveal it the mixture was used to seal ceilings involve. but naturally smooth

surfaces can also be created with the help of lindsay oil, beeswax, and live the natural building materials, cooling rooms, and improve the indoor climate. passive heating and cooling systems can also be installed, providing a sustainable solution to extreme temperature fluctuations in an air of climate change. the thing was the platform, yes. in therapy. so if i hadn't made the ceiling and mezzanine floor out of strong purse and would i would have had to use cement and steel reinforcing elements. instead i get along with gravel and sam. all those materials have a very big echo, logical footprint, and are very energy intensive. one of those method, yes, i can use raw materials found in the region in their place will and still build a fully functional method name for like get into the piece using local 0 carbon renewables on materials produces the buildings. psychological

footprint, the aim is to live in harmony with nature rather than destroying it. it really does is we want to preserve ancient knowledge that has been cast stone, that we've inherited from indigenous or traditional groups. ensuring that this knowledge is not the last, but rather is passed on from one generation to the next year. that's a way of honoring them. you know, that's why the sand is he drilled project team also gives courses on a range of old construction techniques as well as providing information on their origins and advantages. today, students from being 20 busy time or toned them. uh and he died ago have come to learn some of what the researchers have to teach the, the fits lots of fun,

but also involves plenty of hand and foot work. in the intensive workshop, the students learn how to work with the local, broad materials, and practical ways. they're also taught about the philosophy of indigenous architecture and how the projects, master builders, try to work with nature instead of subjugating in the future. urban planners are enthusiastic about what they experience and colored, and it's often very hard at home. the heat is suffocating, there's no way to escape it and cool down. but in these houses it's always very pleasant. when we go, i started it okay on my side, opened the case and meeting and the way materials are mixed here is completely different than a conventional construction methods, fitness, stone, cement, water and shovel. it's just, it's also a completely different and physical terms you put in. so when we together,

we are the areas of our history. and this way of building also contributes to our identity that it also means it's not just about bio diversity, availability, what we're doing something different. and to a certain extent, that makes us different, if it shows who we are. but we're just somebody in yet another reason why this son is either a project team wanted to ensure that this knowledge which has been passed down does not last, but architect alejandro a couple of years ago says there's still a lot to do another and it's a new test, i see the coastal this, we're committed to ensuring that it universities the field of indigenous construction is taken just as seriously as that of industrialized construction. implicit me why and getting less greek because it's not currently in required curriculums. they must seem traditional building techniques are always optional the most as gets what we want is for them to be taught on an equal footing equal life. the most that i've the project team is working together to ensure that the

knowledge of indigenous master builders is preserved. the long term goal to integrate it into modern buildings and develop innovative and more sustainable construction methods. because traditional ways of doing things offer answers to many of today's challenges, especially when it comes to climate change. what other loan loss knowledge might we recover? if we only have the means that you may have formed a script used in the kingdoms and implies of ancient mesopotamia was 1st deciphered back in the mid 19th century, put many clay tablets. it was written on hoping for a canal shortage. and a i is now helping researches put the fragments back together. the cuneiform script 1st began to be used around 5000 years ago. it's one of the oldest forms of writing, texts written and you need

a form on clay tablets range from simple receipts to the epic of gilgamesh, an ancient series of poems, even today, only around 2 thirds of all discovered tablets have been deciphered. this is linked, i'm insights, but one reason why is that the texts are very fragmentary. some of the many tablets are in decent condition. they are in fragments of a see if i come in parish most of the $500000.00. so clay tablets around the world were broken before or during excavations and the sites look so they also haven't been deciphered because many fragments of the taxes have not been found or identified. you see it for them. and that's where in the k jimenez and his team at the university of munich come in, they've developed a platform that used as part of visual intelligence to match up even very tiny fragments of tablets in record time. the approach has sparked

a revolution in the field. in the past, researchers spent years deciphering and translating countless cuneiform tablets in different museums. discovering missing fragments often came down to lock. you could take decades to reconstruct a single text menu. so like the text when it took so long to reconstruct a text, it could mean that a researcher might die without having published the text or reading it and fall into it. yeah, fortunately, that's no longer the case. the for now all the existing text can be access to basically it's also very easy to find them and reconstruct something then eh, a on the, to the customer item. since 2018 the team in munich has been developing the electronic, babylonian library, or l for short. it's a kind of search engine for cuneiform tablets. with the help of a i even tiny fragments can be assigned to known text. and was what i'm fuck mencia. via in the past we wouldn't have stood a chance with

a fragment like this been because when there's so little on it, there's really nothing you can do with analog tools to my son. those who funds a huge search everywhere to know vale of feeling committed to no problem for the computer lima because he is hits able to match the text fragment up one to one with others. even though i only entered 5 characters from 5 lines, i gave them hub. after identifying the 5 characters, the e. b, l links the tablet to a text that's already been deciphered, a job like tail, tonio, mento was able to assign it to that story for the 1st time, the back sides of this section until now had been unreadable for income of yeah, i know, most importantly we've developed a huge database and lots of algorithms that make searching really easy. so okay. now you can reconstruct texts and an afternoon that in the past could have taken 40

years to reconstruct new if you take down because 3 to contact the 10s of thousands of to near phone tablets for museums all over the world have now been published on the e b l platform for the 1st time and made publicly accessible. but there are many more housed in the rock museum in baghdad. and little is known about watson scribe done . in a new project involving the museum, the university, and of a very, an academy of sciences and humanities, the tablets in iraq will be added to the database. in the future, hey, i will be able to decipher and translate tablets whole on its own. i was wondering, does you want us to tell our vision is fully automated processing, which means that ideally you'd only have to enter a single photo and for a series of them into the system. so i'm then let a, i decide what belongs with what i understand these and try to trace retired to go

home. to do that the a i would have to learn the language. so it could also look at how pieces fit together in terms of the content building a logical continuation line by line of what's on other pieces up. this is still early days for the project, which is set to run for a total of 25 years. but the team can already pointed to some initial successes the moment that it might take me thinking at the moment i'm working with an or rocky colleague back on my funds a year from the university of baghdad on reconstructing a particularly interesting text. me, i'm just kind of him to the city of babylon to come fix and now we can at least read this tags that scholars and babel lonia knew by heart one that describes life there in a very beautiful ways. yeah, sure. and if i say it be striped for that, do not you. she can that you fridays river. my god of the work of knew the mood to

shut. the lord of wisdom you might be connected, irritates the plain floods the read that pours its waters into lagoons and the sea friend. ashley. perhaps with the help of a i, enrica jimenez and his team one day achieve something researchers have been dreaming of since the ancient writing was 1st to cypher business. a yes or no dream and my feel to be able to read text. slight gilligan mash from beginning to end without any gaps or missing a lot of fragments to do that. a lot of manuscripts that would complete at 6 for 5 very much hope we can find new fragments on tackle, is that we already know the content extensions and couldn't. and so hopefully the coming decades will teach us much more about the origins of writing and literature in mesopotamia. the land between the euphrates and tigris rivers.

now for question that's growing increasingly difficult to answer in an age where we can easily access videos 247 of all the images i'm seeing real where they created by a i the technology is racing ahead. you can already generate deceptively realistic videos with just a few words. she's wearing a black leather jacket alone, red dress and black. so that's enough of a prompt to create a video from text for how about a photo, realistic video to fire in ships bottling it out inside a coffee cup. open a i calls it's text, a video generator sore. it can create film clips of all kinds from descriptions. you can have a ton of hits the next step after text and image generation just said now images are strung together to create videos. it looks i'm new to us, but it's just

a logical next step out of what chat g p t and the others are already doings to. to be to another from the i tools can put words in the german chancellor as mouse some apps alter existing footage. however, sora generates entirely new worlds by combining what it's learned from millions of videos coming more and more realistic. and if you can't tell the difference anymore, then you have to come up with regulations for marketing such a context, influence all you have to make it clear to the viewer when something is not real, but only inspired by reality. and if legislators don't intervene, we won't find solutions to then to kind of do something imaginative, takes on life in a glass glow or a petri dish demonstrate the new a i capabilities. and so now making videos like this required

a large creative team and deep pockets. now it's not hard to artificially generate real looking videos. they can be created with freely accessible programs that a run in the clouds put on your p c at home. so they can't be controlled already mentioned isn't going. so i think people need to learn to be more aware when they watch the video materials. even if it looks real, you always have to ask yourself whether what you're seeing isn't really possible and always critically question the source. and as something was just posted on social media, then i would always question that a little higher sizing. open a eyes hope is that it's text. a video generator will be a hit. after an initial test phase, sora will also be sold on subscription. and the more the subscriber pays, the more realistic their videos will the car accident often

occurred because the drive is tired and focused or possibly hypoglycemic. low blood sugar is especially dangerous for diabetics. on a pilot app could significantly reduce the risk a kristof step now, and his team have developed a warning app for diabetics behind the wheel. the researchers started 4 years ago and i've now shown that the a i based software works best at clack, or the rest of it was really nice to get confirmation that the idea was sound. that's great when you've invested so much time to for all the tests subject to, to the heart. and the whole team to a lot of people were in all the things we had a great pride, the shopping cart. the researchers took some risks to get their data. some experiments took place in 2021 during the cove at pandemic. the researchers led

real diabetics plunged into a potentially dangerous low blood sugar state while driving the on site and reaction times are slower and limited to the field of vision can be restricted, you start to sweat and that's dangerous. it can lead to accidents, but on. so that's why the data isn't collected on public roads, but here had an army pace headquarters has been converted into a medical lab with the cars back see to kind of mobile and medical practice. one of 30 tests subject to is linda and to, to has type one diabetes. the final preparations are under way she's set to receive a dose of insulin via accounts that are in her for our veeam is to cause her to go into hypoglycemia, colloquially called hypo. while driving her motivation assessment

. i wanted to know what it's like to drive a car with a height of what it feels like. i'm not really feeling very scared to be honest and it's more like i'm a bit excited. so let's get the feel. for the test, the team is chosen a run of the mill, modern car, because it already has a number of sensors is in the steering wheel and the accelerator pedal. and can those track conspicuous driving behavior an extra camera record time movements? during the experiments, linda airport is confronted with a wide range of driving scenarios. she's also regularly injected with insulin, sending her blood sugar levels into a kind of controlled tales for safety reasons. a driving instructor sits next to are ready to intervene in an emergency room. but let's start here to work at if a patient with blood sugar levels of 2 milli moles,

which is low drives through here at 80 to 90 kilometers an hour. that's pretty impressive. and it's never been done before. so throughout the test subjects, low blood sugar levels become an issue at the next enter section. linda is supposed to turn right, but she misses it and ends up having to turn around again. this is the turn because her reaction time is impaired and thanks to the sensors in the car. the effects of hypoglycemia are clearly visible in the command center combustion does. in the for example, the steering wheel movements are sometimes jerky excellent. you also notice that during breaking muscle for all the subjects are no longer driving with a lot of force items, they often have to break harder to stock on them. if it suspects low blood sugar, the warning system can urge drivers to stop half comp time. as you are driving behavior indicates hypoglycemia test,

could you please stop the car and check your blood sugar levels? a linda add to it as a way or that the situation is serious. annoyed. response is like hers can be a typical sign of hypoglycemia. crystal shutters, team has sense, analyzed all the data and develop the software further. the car industry is already showing interest. it's 5. do think that is all next, we should check whether it works with other diseases or other forms of diabetes. also, you look for the system, also detecting stuff like fatigue with alcohol or drug use medication and other condition will come into come on that would have to be tested separately, all for the interest rates. but all but as a 1st step, the researchers expect their hypoglycemia detection system to be installed and cars in the near future the let is read. why do you have a science question then send it to us as a video,

text or voice mail. if we on the read in the show, you receive a little surprises the thank you. go on just task. today's view, a question comes from richard m in terms of the, the do wales sleep sent off ends are mammals that have adapted perfectly to life. and the water on like fish, which have goes whales and dolphins breeze with lungs like we do. so they have to surface regularly to tank up on air. when the animals breach like this, every breath has to be coordinated with their movements for this and other reasons . wales and other cetaceans have developed sophisticated sleep techniques. many marine mammal species including dolphins only switch off half their brains

when they sleep. the other hemisphere remains awake from mine and then sec come up for air at regular intervals. they also keep only one eye open. usually it's the one that's opposite the awake half of the brain. researchers have discovered that the animals have a resting phase thanks to this half sleep, even when they remain active, or not all citations sleep in the same ways. there are major differences in terms of duration and position. pods of pilot whales, for example, migrate to the water at a city speed. they sleep horizontally and move constantly directly on the surface that allows them to read in a regular fashion. for all wales, it's important not to sink too far beneath the waves when resting,

which is why some sleep suspended vertically in the water. call them close to the surface. that makes it easier for them to come up for air. the humpback whales have even been observed suspended, head down in the water. they can sleep in that position for up to half an hour at a time. sperm whales are also known for slumbering in the water call them. they arrange themselves heads up vertically in groups just beneath the surface and have a kind of internal alarm that insures they'll surface before they run out of a or so both house of the brain can sleep simultaneously and sperm whales. just like in us humans, the that suit for the show this time around. thanks for joining us. and hope to see you
