Artificial intelligence predicts genetics of cancerous brain tumors in under 90 seconds
Using artificial intelligence, researchers have discovered how to screen for genetic mutations in cancerous brain tumors in under 90 seconds — and possibly streamline the diagnosis and treatment of gliomas, a study suggests. The newly developed system…

Improved wastewater treatment could lead to significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions
New research has shown that methane emissions from urban areas are underestimated by a factor of three to four and that untreated wastewater may be a contributing factor.

At least 80% of the world’s most important sites for biodiversity on land currently contain human developments
At least 80% of sites identified as being internationally important for biodiversity on land currently contain infrastructure — of which more than 75% contain roads. In the future, more sites that are important for biodiversity could contain powerplan…

Closed loop for circular economy: New polymer recycling strategy ensures both high stability and complete recyclability
Large amounts of plastic waste are incinerated or deposited in landfills. This degrades the environment and depletes valuable resources. In this light, recycling plastics such as polymers is promising. However, recycling diminishes their quality. Recen…

Artificial intelligence discovers secret equation for ‘weighing’ galaxy clusters
Astrophysicists have leveraged artificial intelligence to uncover a better way to estimate the mass of colossal clusters of galaxies. The AI discovered that by just adding a simple term to an existing equation, scientists can produce far better mass es…
New in-home AI tool monitors the health of elderly residents
Engineers are harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) and wireless technology to unobtrusively monitor elderly people in their living spaces and provide early detection of emerging health problems.

Pressure-based control enables tunable singlet fission materials for efficient photoconversion
Applying hydrostatic pressure as an external stimulus, researchers demonstrate a new way to regulate singlet fission (SF), a process in which two electrons are generated from a single photon, in chromophores, opening doors to the design of SF-based mat…
AI finds the first stars were not alone
Machine learning and state-of-the-art supernova nucleosynthesis has helped researchers find that the majority of observed second-generation stars in the universe were enriched by multiple supernovae.
