Researchers from Kyushu University have developed a new numerical model to explain the behavior of sunlight under various weather conditions. Unlike previous methods that focused on how plants perceive sunlight as a pure ...
Successful test results of a new machine learning (ML) technique developed at Georgia Tech could help communities prepare for extreme weather and coastal flooding. The approach could also be applied to other models that predict ...
Enzymes found in landfills around the world may be able to break down plastic waste. Some 11 billion metric tons of plastic are projected to accumulate in the environment by 2050. Enzymatic and microbial degradation is a ...
About 100 million metric tons of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), one of the world's most commonly used plastics, are produced annually, using more than 15 times the energy needed to power New York City for a year and adding ...
A research team from the Xinjiang Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has made strides in the theoretical design of nonlinear optical (NLO) materials by leveraging machine learning ...
A new systematic review has revealed serious shortcomings in the evaluation of cyclone risk in Australia and worldwide. The research, which analyzed 94 studies on cyclone risk, warns that existing approaches may be failing ...
Much like a tongue freezes to a frigid metal pole, ice can speed up the adsorption, or stickiness, of molecules. An icy surface can also cause molecules to degrade in the presence of light, releasing trace gases. Before researchers ...
Microplastics—the tiny particles of plastic shed when litter breaks down—are everywhere, from the deep sea to Mount Everest, and many researchers worry that they could harm human health.
In a recent study, researcher Anandasankar Ray at the University of California, Riverside, and his team employed machine learning techniques combined with cheminformatics to predict novel mosquito repellents that could greatly ...
Researchers led by Prof. Li Nuo from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a method to simulate the concentrations of unmeasured geochemical elements in rock and ...
