Space Force chief: U.S. intelligence is top-notch, but more insights needed on space domain

ARLINGTON, Va. — Gen. Chance Saltzman, chief of space operations, said the U.S. Space Force has robust intelligence about what foreign adversaries are doing in outer space. Still, military leaders always want more comprehensive data and analysis about activities in orbit, he said March 27.

‘It’s fantastic’: Dutch farmers rely on this €185,000 robot to keep their tulips in bloom

Tulip fields in the Netherlands were threatened by viruses until this AI robot rolled in to save the day.

'Techplomacy': Meet the Danish diplomat leading Europe's efforts to influence Silicon Valley

Denmark was the first to post an ambassador to Silicon Valley. Now, it is leading Europe's diplomats in putting Big Tech on "the right side of history".

A new fullertube molecule is found

For years, C130 fullertubes—molecules made up of 130 carbon atoms—have existed only in theory. Now, leading an international team of scientists, a UdeM doctoral student in physics has successfully shown them in real life—and even managed to capture some in a photograph.

We built an AI tool to help set priorities for conservation in Madagascar: What we found

Artificial Intelligence (AI)—models that process large and diverse datasets and make predictions from them—can have many uses in nature conservation, such as remote monitoring (like the use of camera traps to study animals or plants) or data analysis. Some of these are controversial because AI can be trained to be biased, but others are valuable research tools.

Your emotional reaction to climate change may impact the policies you support, study finds

Emotional reactions to climate change may lead to specific policy preferences, according to a study published in the open-access journal PLOS Climate by Teresa A. Myers of George Mason University and colleagues.

How eutrophication and climate change alter food webs in the Baltic Sea

Phytoplankton is the primary energy source for all marine ecosystems: These tiny plants floating in the seawater use photosynthesis to bind energy in the form of biomass, which is then passed on step by step in the marine food webs all the way to different types of fish and piscivores.

The mystery of fullerenes in space explained

A study from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) which combines laboratory chemistry with astrophysics, has shown for the first time that grains of dust formed by carbon and hydrogen in a highly disordered state, known as HAC, can take part in the formation of fullerenes, carbon molecules which are of key importance for the development of life in the universe, and with potential applications in nanotechnology. The results are published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.
