From tape measures to space lasers: Quantifying biomass of the world"s tallest forests
In this era of accelerating climate crisis, accounting for all aspects of Earth's carbon cycle is a crucial task. The magnitude of atmospheric carbon burden means trees and forests are limited but important instruments among a suite of mitigation opt.....»»
CMS collaboration releases Higgs boson discovery data to the public
As part of its continued commitment to making its science fully open, the CMS collaboration has just publicly released the combination of CMS measurements that contributed to establishing the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012......»»
How AI can help map sign languages
Like spoken languages, sign languages evolve organically and do not always have the same origin. This produces different ways of communication and annotation. This is the subject of Manolis Fragkiadakis's Ph.D. thesis......»»

NASA is now publicly distributing science-quality data from its newest Earth-observing satellite, providing first-of-their-kind measurements of ocean health, air quality, and the effects of a changing climate......»»
Ghanaians love rice—how smallholder farmers could harvest more of it with the help of machines
Rice has become a big part of Ghanaians' daily diet. The country consumes about 1.45 million tons a year—but produces only 987,000 tons, approximately 68% of that......»»
Rock permeability, microquakes link may be a boon for geothermal energy
Using machine learning, researchers at Penn State have tied low-magnitude microearthquakes to the permeability of subsurface rocks beneath the Earth, a discovery that could have implications for improving geothermal energy transfer......»»
Stopping security breaches by managing AppSec posture
Many security vulnerabilities result from human error, and the majority of these are reflected in the application layer. These errors may occur at any stage in the software development life cycle, from code to cloud. In this Help Net Security video,.....»»
New AI music generator Udio synthesizes realistic music on demand
But it still needs trial and error to generate high-quality results. Enlarge / A screenshot of AI-generated songs listed on Udio on April 10, 2024. (credit: Benj Edwards) Between 2002 and 2005, I ran a music website wher.....»»
Making ultra-fast electron measurements in multiple directions to reveal the secrets of the aurora
The energetic electrons that drive the aurora borealis (the northern lights) have a rich and very dynamic structure that we currently do not fully understand. Much of what we know about these electrons comes from instruments that have fundamental lim.....»»
Electro-optic 3D snapshot of a laser wakefield accelerated kilo-ampere electron bunch
Invented by T. Tajima and J. Dawson, laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) harnesses the power of high-intensity laser pulses to drive plasma waves with acceleration gradients orders of magnitude higher than conventional RF-based accelerators......»»

Researchers develop mechanism of electrical 180° switching of Néel vector in spin-splitting antiferromagnet
A research team led by The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and Tsinghua University has theoretically proposed a new mechanism of electrical 180° switching of Néel vector and experimentally realized it in antiferromagnetic mat.....»»
Q&A: What to make of the earthquake that rattled the Northeast
The 4.8 magnitude earthquake that shook the Northeast on April 5 didn't seem to cause much damage, but it was enough to send tremors of concern through anyone who felt it. It's not that the region never experiences seismic shifts. It's just that most.....»»
AI and digital tools combat auto finance fraud, Informed.IQ report shows
Just over 30 percent of Informed.IQ's survey respondents said they had an error in 1 out of every 4 deal jackets......»»
What causes earthquakes in the Northeast, like the magnitude 4.8 that shook New Jersey? A geoscientist explains
It's rare to feel earthquakes in the U.S. Northeast, so the magnitude 4.8 earthquake in New Jersey that shook buildings in New York City and was felt from Maryland to Boston on April 5, 2024, drew a lot of questions. It was one of the strongest earth.....»»
Solar eclipse chasers from Colorado will seek clues for predicting geomagnetic space storms
