Laboratories with Ia promise a faster and faster catalyst investigation with human supervision

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.

The wealth gap feeds on health inequality for more than 50 years: a new study reveals the division of lifestyle and the depression link

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…

The CMB: The most important discovery in cosmic history | By Ethan Siegel | Start with an explosion! | February 2025

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. (Credit: Smoot Cosmology Group/lbl/ESA) First discovered in the mid -1960s,…

G-quadruplexes reveal molecular links between telomeres and telomerase: critical findings for neoplastic transformation, aging and regenerative therapy

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…
