The aviation industry is experiencing a significant transformation with the integration of artificial intelligence (AI). While the idea of fully automated flights without human pilots may still be a distant reality, the adoption of AI technology is already reshaping the way airlines operate. Experts in the field suggest that data and AI have become powerful

The sunspot region responsible for the dazzling auroras that adorned the sky in early May has made a comeback. AR 3664, which was behind multiple X-class flares, including the most intense one of the current solar cycle, had rotated out of view onto the far side of the Sun in the middle of May. However,
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have become commonplace in our everyday lives, from non-stick cookware to waterproof outdoor clothing. These “forever chemicals” are known for their persistence in the environment, as they do not readily break down. With over 15,000 different PFAS chemicals in existence, the widespread use of these substances is evident in the
China’s Chang’e-6 lunar probe made headlines on Sunday as it successfully landed on the far side of the Moon to collect samples, marking a significant milestone for Beijing’s space programme. The mission, which began on May 3, is set to explore the immense South Pole-Aitken Basin, one of the largest known impact craters in the
As fathers transition through different stages of life, it is noted that their heart health tends to decline compared to non-fathers. This decline is highlighted in a longitudinal, multi-ethnic US study that sheds light on the challenges faced by fathers in maintaining healthy heart habits. The stress and responsibilities associated with parenting seem to play
The high-tech bidet toilet, a staple in Japanese households, is now making its mark around the world as a must-have luxury item in bathrooms. With features like warm seats and precision spray technology, bidet toilets are becoming increasingly popular among celebrities and consumers alike. Japanese company TOTO, a pioneer in the electric bidet industry, has
Metal halide perovskites are crystalline materials that have shown remarkable optoelectronic properties, making them promising candidates for thin-film transistor development. Recent studies have focused on tin (Sn) halide perovskites, achieving high field-effect hole mobilities, but facing challenges in developing n-type transistors. This article explores the latest advancements in metal halide perovskite-based n-type transistors, focusing on
The Earth has undergone various bursts of biodiversity throughout its history, with one of the most significant being the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event around 480 million years ago. Recent findings by researchers at Johns Hopkins University suggest that the seemingly humble creatures, such as prehistoric worms and other invertebrates, played a crucial role in this
Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, made a significant announcement at Computex, Taiwan’s premier tech expo. Describing the current era as the “next industrial revolution,” Huang emphasized the importance of artificial intelligence (AI) in shaping the future of technology. The event showcased Nvidia’s latest AI hardware and software developments, highlighting the company’s role as a leader in
The rising cost of living has forced many people to tighten their budgets, resulting in changes in spending habits, particularly when it comes to the weekly supermarket shop. One area that seems to be taking a hit is the consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables. Recent data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) indicates
In the world of robotics, the use of teams of robots has been shown to have numerous advantages over individual robots. These advantages include the ability to cover long distances faster, visit multiple sites simultaneously, and monitor larger geographical areas. Platforms that combine reliable hardware and software for multi-robot applications have the potential to advance
The University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science has made a groundbreaking advancement in the field of carbon capture technology with the development of MOF-525. MOF-525 is a type of metal-organic framework that possesses unique properties that make it incredibly effective at extracting value from captured carbon dioxide. This material has the potential
New research suggests that aligning the timing of blood pressure medication with your personal chronotype, which is determined by your body’s circadian rhythm, can help protect against the risk of heart attack. This study has the potential to revolutionize the treatment of hypertension by considering individual differences in chronotypes. Chronotypes, which are influenced by genetics
Cancer is a disease that impacts millions of lives worldwide, with one in two people developing some form of cancer in their lifetime. The classical theory of cancer posits that DNA mutations are the main cause of the disease. This theory has been supported by extensive experimental evidence, linking factors like ageing, lifestyle choices, and
The United States is currently facing a severe epidemic of sexually transmitted infections as reported by the National Coalition of STD Directors. The alarming warning issued in January pointed out the rising numbers of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis cases, with over 2.5 million incidents reported. While chlamydia remains the most common STI in the US,
