The study also addressed the wider implications of these findings. CK1δ plays a role in several important processes beyond circadian rhythms, including cell division, cancer development, and certain neurodegenerative diseases. By better understanding how CK1δ's activity is regulated, scientists could open new avenues for treating not just circadian rhythm disorders but also a range of conditions.
There's a similar project that would supply power from Australia-Asia that spans 4,600 km when completed. But such big projects could easily be caught up in various delays, and it's a problem if a country is too dependent on a single power link. Self-reliant renewable energy production definitely seems more secure.
It'd be great if AI is powered entirely by renewables, but how trustworthy is that target?
Companies and politicians are known to drag their feet switching to renewables or use greenwashing to show they care more about climate than they actually do.
Quoting from another article:
The researchers said, unfortunately, it would be too dim to see with the naked eye. According to the NASA JPL, 2024 PT5 has an absolute magnitude of 27.6, which is very dim and won’t be visible through most amateur telescopes.
Some regions may see slower changes than others in the short term. Long term, all will be affected.
The 72-cell panels, comprised of Oxford PV’s proprietary perovskite-on-silicon solar cells, can produce up to 20% more energy than a standard silicon panel.
Oxford PV has been developing and working to commercialise this technology since 2014, with a recent module efficiency record of 26.9%
Summary:
Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan are using AI to develop a more efficient method for producing green hydrogen. The researchers have been searching for the optimal alloy or metal combination to act as a catalyst, aiming to make the reaction more efficient and affordable. The AI program analyzed over 36,000 metal oxide combinations through virtual simulations and tested the top candidate in the lab. The recommended alloy of ruthenium, chromium, and titanium emerged as the clear winner, demonstrating 20 times better stability and durability than the benchmark metal.
Oh, that's crazy. I guess it's more about the cost/risk of upgrading their core systems rather than the language itself.
Where is COBOL being used still?

Climate change disturbs the rainfall distribution patterns, leading to extreme rain in some areas and less in others. It's a very complex system and there are a lot of variables evolved. One example is changing wind patterns that creates high pressure regions that we see during heatwaves.
