What is making perovskite such an interesting material for photovoltaic and small LED device manufacturers? It is cheaper than silicon, lighter, malleable, and provides conversion efficiency levels that are better than current solar panels. Perovskite is the up-and-comer that will soon knock out silicon, the reigning champion of photovoltaics.
Climate change scientists talk about being a frog in a pot of water slowly being heated on a stovetop. The frog can jump out before the water gets too hot, or be boiled to death. Our wildfire experiences to date make it seem like we are no smarter than that frog.
The world's population will increase by more than 2.5 billion by mid-century putting great stress on the planet's ability to mitigate produced carbon emissions generated by the construction industry, currently, the largest human contributor of carbon emissions on
Earth. What measures can the industry take to achieve negative-carbon construction outcomes?
We are quickly approaching a point where AI in the workplace will mean job descriptions and job types are changing. Does this mean fewer high-paying traditional white-collar jobs? Yes. Does it also mean that AI will create whole new types of jobs? Yes to that too!
AI is increasingly seen as a gamechanger for medical diagnostics described as an industry-wide paradigm shift. When building these generative AI and machine learning tools, data is the key. Using synthetic data based on scanned images means greater identification and predictive capacity with AI demonstrating 98% diagnostic accuracy.
A remarkable new pacemaker smaller than a grain of rice has been invented at Northwestern University to treat arrhythmias associated with numerous congenital heart diseases. The device requires no battery and can be adapted for other electrotherapy applications.
Peter Diamandis reflects on the future of children using AI and human longevity reinforcing his belief in how transformative is the time we are living in. From the potential to redefine humanity's purpose, to reshaping children's education, we are entering a period of democratization that's so universal it has immense possibilities.
New research into mRNA vaccines shows they have long-term positive effects that provide broad protection against more than the infections they were developed to target. Anti-vaxxers in the U.S. want to put an end to mRNA vaccine research led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who controls the funding for America's National Institutes of Health.
Enter Electronic Data Capture (EDC) software presents a transformative technology that is revolutionizing how clinical trials are conducted and, in turn is enhancing patient care. These tools are designed to collect, manage, and store clinical trial data electronically unlike traditional paper-based methods.
