Active learning loop. Credit: Steffen Kangowski/FHI The urgent need for a transition to sustainable energy sources requires a significant acceleration of traditional research and development cycles. Autonomous laboratories (SDL), driven by artificial intelligence (AI), could play a fundamental role in this transformation. In role in perspective In the newspaper Nature catalysisResearchers from the Fritz Institute…

There is an elaboration of “silent emergency” under our noses as the research of the University of Surrey finds that there is a clear wealth gap between adults over 50 who meet physical activity and dietary guidelines. The investigation also found that the poorest adults have almost three times more likely to be depressed than…

A volcano in Alaska could be prepared to erupt, which would probably send hot ashes avalanches and cascade mud down the slopes of the mountain. Mount Spurr, a snow -covered stratovolcano that is 77 miles (124 kilometers) through the entrance of Cook from Anchorage, has been shaking with small earthquakes since April 2024, according to…

Throughout the world, the extreme climate is promoting a number of deaths, demanding billions in damage, threatening food and water safety and growing forced migration. However, some of the most sophisticated climatic models, vast computer simulations and complex climate system of the Earth, based on the laws of physics, are missing crucial signals. Now, a…

This composite image shows the microwave sky according to the three generations of spatial CMB missions: Cobe (1990), WMAP (2000) and Planck (2010). Over time, we have become more sensitive to the temperature of lower magnitude and the polarization characteristics at progressively smaller angular scales.

Normal cells age and eventually die when they have reached their maximum useful life. In these cells, telomeres, the end of a chromosome, cannot be synthesized due to the suppression of the inverse transcriptase enzyme of human telomerase (HTERT), resulting in the shortening of telomeres. Although the link is not clear yet, many studies showed…

Four Yunohamella The species are reported from the province of Hubei, China, including two new species: AND. Gutenbergi R. Zhong, J. Liu and Hu, sp. nov. () and AND. Mohorovicici R. Zhong, J. Liu and Hu, sp. nov. (). Yunohamella Jiugongensis (Liu and Zhong, 2023), comb. nov. It is transferred from the genre Cryptochaea Archer,…

A recent fossil finding fills a breach of obvious prehistoric birds. The Jurassic period affirms Archeptérix (Sometimes called Dinosaur Adeinonychosaurian), which, despite its feathered wings, seem more dinosaurs. Meanwhile, most Avian parents of the Cretaceous seem more similar to birds, with short tails that end in a compound bone called Pigostilo. A team from the…

When the scientists pointed to the X-ray Observatory of the European Space Agency, XMM-Newton, with two mysterious lights on the outskirts of the great Magellanic cloud, they discovered an unexpected source: two previously unknown supernova remains. “When a star dies, it can explode in a supernova, causing a strong shock wave and forming an interstellar…
