A light micrograph of a section through the thorax of a mouse embryo, which shows left–right asymmetry. RIKEN researchers have discovered how cilia detect fluid flow, which eventually leads to this asymmetry.

Fine particulate air pollutants, known as PM2.5, can come from construction sites, unpaved roads, fields, smokestacks or fires, according to the EPA. They also form in the atmosphere as a result of complex reactions of chemicals such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. / Credit: weather.comA recent meta-analysis conducted by Harvard T.H. Chan School...
Water, a vital substance for human life/ Credit: pexels.comA study published in the International Journal of Sustainable Agricultural Management and Informatics has shown the potential of machine learning to forecast the water quality index, which could have significant implications for water management in both drinking water and agricultural applications.Water pollution, a concern of recent...
According to recent research, irregularities in the cooling process of molten iron in the Earth's core are responsible for variations in the planet's magnetic field.The swirling molten iron in the Earth's core controls the magnetic field /Credit: preparaenem.comWhy do satellite operations and compass readings experience interference that results in inaccurate directions not aligned with...
Graphical abstract. Credit: The Journal of Physical Chemistry A (2023). DOI: 10.1021/acs.jpca.2c07955Scientists from Universidad de Santiago de Chile and the University of Notre Dame have developed a machine learning-based approach to recognize organic compounds by their refractive index at a particular optical wavelength. This method has the potential to automate chemical analysis and make it more...

Random or controlled object shifts in a time-lapse scheme improve image classification through diffractive optical networks. Credit: Ozcan Lab @ UCLAOptical computing has gained significant interest in machine learning applications due to optics' massive parallelism and bandwidth. Diffractive networks supply one such computing paradigm based upon the transformation of the input light as it...
This system consists of a pair of galaxies, dubbed IC 694 and NGC 3690, which made a close pass some 700 million years ago. As a result of this interaction, the system underwent a fierce burst of star formation. In the last fifteen years or so six supernovae have popped off in the outer...
