Ancient grains of dust from space can be found on Earth—and provide clues about the life cycle of stars
In space, there are clouds that contain gas and dust ejected from stars. Our solar system was formed 4.6 billion years ago from such a molecular cloud. Most of these…
Key UN report supports Pacific plan for shipping emissions levy
The report was seized upon by the Marshall Islands but denounced as “unacceptable” and “nonsenical” by Argentina and Brazil Pacific governments say an official UN report shows their push for…
A new algorithm to help robots practice skills independently to adapt to unfamiliar environments
A new algorithm developed by researchers at MIT CSAIL helps robots practice skills on their own. In experiments, it guided a quadruped with sweeping and placing various items. Credits: Alex…
Understanding how high temperatures influence resource acquisition and competitive ability – Functional Ecologists
In our latest post Graydon Gilles, MSc student at University of Queens, presents his work ‘Temperature-dependence and genetic variation in resource acquisition strategies in a model freshwater plant’. He explains…
The link between fuzzy images and quantum fields
A deep-learning technique known as generative diffusion is used to generate new clear images in image processing. RIKEN-led research has now shown that a similar technique can be applied to…
Database Admins See Brighter Job Prospects Amid IT Challenges
The field of database administration is far from glamorous. Even within the uncompromisingly geeky domain of information technology, database administration would be among the last fields picked for a game…
