Spatiotemporal correlation-based AI developed for bias correction of atmospheric and oceanic variables
Daily travel plans and early warnings for extreme weather all rely on traditional numerical weather prediction. However, both traditional numerical weather pred...
AI-designed proteins built from scratch can recognize specific compounds
Professor Gyu Rie Lee of the Department of Biological Sciences successfully designed artificial proteins that selectively recognize specific compounds using AI...
Less than half of parents say schools are ready for nudification AI abuse
Less than half of parents are confident that their children's school is well prepared if their students become victims of "nudification AI" apps, a survey has f...
Street green space can help cool cities, but it will not be enough on its own
A new IIASA-led study finds that expanding street green space can reduce urban heat stress in cities worldwide, but even ambitious greening efforts are unlikely...
Skills overtake age as economic driver in China, analysis finds
As the global aging population advances and countries face shrinking workforces, a new study focusing on China by IIASA researchers and colleagues from Nanjing...
Non-producing oil and gas wells may emit microbial methane at rates 1,000 times higher than previously estimated
Microbial methane leaking from non-producing oil and gas wells is being emitted at rates about 1,000 times higher than previously estimated, according to a new...
Megawatt structured light arrives with 3,070 optical vortices in one array
Optical vortices—light beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM)—are characterized by helical wavefronts and phase singularities. While they have been widel...
Turning uncertainty into a design tool for AI-engineered molecules
While precision seems critical for science, researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and Texas A&M University are e...
Artemis II astronauts describe their lunar voyage as surreal and profound ahead of Earth return
Drawing ever closer to Earth, the Artemis II astronauts tidied up their lunar cruiser for its upcoming "fireball" return and reflected on their historic journey...
Unlocking the hidden metabolism of algae to advance the promise of renewable fuels and sustainable biomass
Researchers at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center have solved a long-standing mystery of how a model green microalga reorganizes its central metabolism to...
Integrative experiment design reveals hidden patterns in decades-old social science research
Research from MIT Sloan School of Management has demonstrated a new way of designing social science experiments that can uncover patterns invisible to common ap...
Antidepressants build up in winter wastewater, raising risks for fish
Every time we flush the toilet, wastewater containing more than tens of thousands of unknown substances, some of which may be toxic to animals and plants, runs...
