A new study investigates how increased atmospheric moisture can affect hurricane formation, slowing down African eastern waves that are precursors to Atlantic hurricanes. Scientists use advanced models to better understand these complex weather phenomena.
A University of Cambridge study found more than 1,000 variants of DNA that affect the age of the first menstrual period. Genetic variants have been associated with weight gain in childhood and earlier onset of puberty.
Mit research reveals that AI models, while accurate in predicting disease, show significant biases toward different racial and gender groups. This discovery has important implications for the application of AI in medicine.
Researchers from Würzburg have made significant progress in solar technology by developing an innovative light gathering system. The new system uses the full spectrum of visible light, enabling a more efficient conversion of solar energy into electricity, which is an important step towards a more sustainable future.
Scientists from the University of California, Riverside, and Clarkson University have developed a new method for cleaning “eternal chemicals” in water, combining UV light, sulfite, and electrochemical oxidation. This innovative method allows almost complete destruction of PFAS compounds in contaminated water without the need for additional heat or high pressure.
Scientists have developed a compact and affordable technology for measuring lead concentrations in water, which could enable fast and accurate detection of even small amounts. This innovation has the potential for widespread application and can improve the quality of life of millions of people around the world.
