The Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine once stood 30 meters high and stretched 3.2 kilometers across the Dnieper River, creating one of the country's largest reservoirs. Holding some 18 cubic kilometers of water, it supplied irrigation ...
Floods account for up to 40% of weather-related disasters worldwide, and their frequency has more than doubled since 2000, according to a recent report from the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction. Global flood ...
The era has arrived in which artificial intelligence (AI) autonomously imagines and predicts the structures and properties of new materials. Today, AI functions as a researcher's "second brain," actively participating in ...
How can artificial intelligence (AI) help astronomers identify celestial objects in the night sky? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as an international team of researchers investigated ...
As ecosystem engineers, beavers build resilience into the landscape. Above ground, we can see changes wrought by beaver ponds such as increases in biodiversity and water retention. But UConn Department of Earth Sciences researcher ...
Fungal networks may be a promising alternative to tiny metal devices used in processing and storing digital memories and other computer data, according to a new study.
Brazilian researchers have developed a technique that estimates the force exerted on each grain of sand in a dune from images. This method, which is based on numerical simulations and artificial intelligence (AI), transforms ...
An ancient elk gazes into the distance from the steep shoreline cliff of Lake Y枚vesi. The autumn day is sunny, but very windy. "We've been here for three hours and already discovered three new potential images," Project ...
Using simulations, robots, and live fish, scientists at EPFL and Duke University have replicated the neural circuitry that allows zebrafish to react to visual stimuli and maintain their position in flowing water. They provide ...
As artificial intelligence (AI) takes on increasingly critical roles鈥攆rom managing power grids to piloting autonomous vehicles鈥攎aking sure these systems are safe has never been more important. But how can we be certain ...
