We ignore making every day Earth Day at our peril. On the first Earth Day CO2 levels in 1970 were 325 parts per million (ppm). Today, CO2 is at 427 ppm, 31% higher than on that first Earth Day. That is a number going in the wrong direction.
Who are the biggest winners and losers of Donald Trump's flurry of environmental executive orders? The winners include fossil fuel companies coal-fired power plant operators, and mining companies. The losers are average Americans and the rest of us on the planet who will be more vulnerable to pollution and extreme weather events as America, the 2nd largest carbon emitter, walks away from addressing climate change.
Rather than reducing carbon emissions by burning less coal, natural gas and oil, Donald Trump wants more of the same while UK "barking mad" scientists in a government agency propose a sun shielding technology to treat the symptoms of global warming and not the cause, CO2 in the atmosphere.
Three types of robots that don't fit the usual image: a quadcopter that can monitor warehouse operations by working in swarms, an autonomous self-propelled robot that can surf the ocean, and a semi-autonomous microbot that can be used by neurosurgeons to repair brain lesions.Â
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.
