[carraspeo] Por otro lado, un equipo de la Universidad Jiao Tong de Shanghái publicó hoy un benchmark para agentes de programación que construye nuevos desafíos invirtiendo correcciones de errores del mundo real, convirtiendo las soluciones en trampas.

Afirman que es más difícil que cualquier benchmark existente en el campo.

De vuelta con Edo.

[wind blowing] To understand how one chemist could claim to single-handedly dictate a university's global standing, you have to understand the shadowy high-stakes mechanics of international academic rankings, specifically the Shanghai Ranking, officially known as the Academic Ranking of World Universities, ARWU.

Why is it called the Shanghai Ranking? Because back in two thousand three, researchers at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China created the Academic Ranking of World Universities, or ARWU, to see how their nation's schools measured up to Ivy League giants.

What started as a humble internal benchmark quickly turned into the premier global scorecard for academic prestige.

Created under China's Nine Eight Five Project and published annually, ARWU ranks the top one thousand universities on the planet.

The Nature paper is titled Evidence for Vacuum Enhanced Superconductivity in Niobium Diselenide, published on the nineteenth of August, twenty twenty-six in Nature volume six hundred fifty-seven.

It comes from a collaboration led by Changgan Zeng and Guanghui Cheng at the University of Science and Technology of China with Qingdong Jiang at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Frank Wilczek at MIT supplying the theory.

The device itself, a six-layer flake of niobium diselenide, about four nanometers thick, embedded in a terahertz split ring resonator.

Niobium diselenide is a layered transition metal dichalcogenide.

You know, this region has a lot of what you call global powerhouses, universities, Tokyo and Kyoto in Japan, University of Singapore and Nanyang in Singapore.

Most of the universities in Hong Kong, I'd say, and more recently, the top universities in China, Xinhua, Peking, Fudan, Zhejiang, Shanghai Jiao Tong.

These are really, really big name universities now.

Will universities like Gajah Mada and University of Indonesia be in that company? I would think it's probably a matter of when, not whether.
