Light signature algorithm offers precise insight on viral proteins, brain disease markers and semiconductors

phys.org

Researchers at Rice University have developed a new machine learning (ML) algorithm that excels at interpreting the "light signatures" (optical spectra) of molecules, materials and disease biomarkers, potentially enabling faster and more…

High-resolution climate models reveal how Tasman Sea temperatures may influence Antarctic peninsula warming

phys.org

The Antarctic Peninsula, one of the fastest-warming regions on Earth, has seen temperatures rise five times faster than the global average in recent decades. Extreme heat events, such as the record-breaking 20.8° C recorded at Seymour…

Climate change drives more overlapping wildfire seasons in Australia and North America, study finds

phys.org

Climate change is increasing the risk of wildfires in many regions of the world. This is due partly to specific weather conditions—known as fire weather—that facilitate the spread of wildfires.

Eastern Europe's air has become cleaner: Long-term study from Saxony shows decreasing air pollution

phys.org

Air pollution with particulate matter smaller than 1 micrometer has fallen by an average of 5% annually in rural Saxony. However, the decreases were particularly marked in air masses coming from Eastern Europe: PM1 concentrations fell by…

Quality of 3D printing with lunar regolith varies based on feedstock

phys.org

Lately, there's been plenty of progress in 3D printing objects from the lunar regolith. We've reported on several projects that have attempted to do so, with varying degrees of success. However, most of them require some additive, such as…
