AGU is a global community. In 6 continents, in 200 countries and regions, we connect to each other, defending research, discovery and solutions. Borders, languages, time areas and customs can zigzagen through our membership map, but science remains our guide star and our union purpose. It is even interwoven in an official statement of AGU…
The new findings of a study of more than 400,000 healthy adults indicate that even sodium levels within the upper end of the normal range may be related to a greater risk of hypertension and heart failure. A new important study of the University of Bar-Ilan has discovered a surprising link between the highest levels…
Credit: Gabe Gomes Learning the molecular machine (ML) underlines critical workflows in the discovery of drugs, material science and catalyst optimization by predicting interactions and molecular properties quickly. For example, in the discovery of drugs, ML models forecast interactions between candidates for drugs and biological objectives, greatly improving efficiency and accelerated discovery. Despite its usefulness,…
Dublin is known as a city where you can enjoy some guide pints, get a warm welcome from the locals and listen to traditional animated music coming out of pubs and air of the city. But it’s not just music floating in the breeze. Dublin’s air also contains cannabis, poppy, even magical fungi, at least…
Solar flares accelerate energy electrons. While some of them escape the interplanetary space and produce explosions of interplanetary solar radio type III, the electrons that interact with the solar atmosphere produce a hard X -ray emission (HXR). Many studies related to the Radio III radio gust observations and HXR emissions from the first observations of…
Mysterious dark stripes that flow MarsThe surface surface may not be the result of running water after all, it suggests a new artificial intelligence analysis (AI). The stripes, observed for the first time that they ran along the cliffs of Mars and the Crater walls by NASA’s Viking mission in 1976, thought for a long…
