Scientists identify the predictability limit of oceanic mesoscale eddy tracks in the South China Sea
Oceanic mesoscale eddies (OMEs) are swirling water structures that play a crucial role in ocean dynamics. These eddies transport heat, salt, nutrients, and other materials across the ocean, significantly influencing marine ecosystems and global clima.....»»
New research offers insight on modeling belief dynamics
Researchers who study belief dynamics often use analogies to understand and model the complex cognitive–social systems that underlie why we believe the things we do and how those beliefs can change over time. Ideas can be transmitted like a virus,.....»»
When will we get Apple Intelligence? Maybe not until iOS 18.1
After unveiling Apple Intelligence at WWDC back in June, many have wondered when we’ll actually get to test out these new features. After all, we are quickly approaching August, and there’s still no Apple Intelligence features in any betas. Unfor.....»»

Dynamic view of opioid receptor could refine pain relief
Effective pain relief without the debilitating side effects of traditional opioids is closer to becoming a reality thanks to a study by an all-RIKEN team into the structure and dynamics of a drug-bound opioid receptor......»»
New research sheds light on river dynamics and cutoff regimes
How are rivers characterized? Traditional methods rely on plant forms and sedimentological techniques, focusing on deposits. Riccardo Maitan, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Padova, is developing a novel approach based on river hydrological be.....»»
Scientists add the human element to long-term flood predictions
To better predict long-term flooding risk, scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory developed a 3D modeling framework that captures the complex dynamics of water as it flows across the landscape. The framework seeks to p.....»»
AI helps reveal history of iconic Australian tree
Scientists have harnessed new developments in machine learning to look at Australian eucalypt species, unveiling their transformation over millions of years......»»
Scientists develop new AI method to create material "fingerprints"
Like people, materials evolve over time. They also behave differently when they are stressed and relaxed. Scientists looking to measure the dynamics of how materials change have developed a new technique that leverages X-ray photon correlation spectr.....»»

Musk had said in 2022 Tesla expects to mass-produce a robotaxi with no steering wheel or pedal by 2024, after missing his targets for self-driving vehicles multiple times......»»
Complex impact of large wildfires on ozone layer dynamics unveiled
In a revelation that highlights the fragile balance of our planet's atmosphere, scientists from China, Germany, and the U.S. have uncovered an unexpected link between massive wildfire events and the chemistry of the ozone layer. Published in Science.....»»
Tesla delaying the launch of its next big thing, report claims
Tesla is reportedly delaying the unveiling of its robotaxi by a couple of months, so we won't see a prototype until October at the earliest......»»
Researchers demonstrate anomalous Brewster effect in metamaterials
The Brewster reflectionless effect stands out as one of the simplest yet pivotal discoveries in manipulating waves. Initial investigations were limited to isotropic materials, but later, thanks to the advent of metamaterials, the phenomenon was found.....»»
High throughput prediction of sugar beet root weight and sugar content using UAV derived growth dynamics
A research team employed an RGB camera on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to collect time series data on sugar beet canopy coverage and height. This data was used to predict root weight and sugar content with high accuracy. This innovative technique.....»»
Study reveals impact of postharvest treatments on tomato ripening
Tomato fruit ripening, a process initiated by key gene demethylation, is significantly influenced by postharvest handling practices. These practices, while extending shelf life, can alter ripening dynamics and affect fruit quality......»»
