A study has found how proteins in eye fluid cause accelerated aging in ocular diseaseDepositphotos Scientists have pinpointed proteins specific to certain cells in the eye's fluid and employed artificial intelligence to identify which proteins expedited the aging process in specific diseases. Gaining insight into the source of these disease-propelling proteins at the cellular level...
Credit: Pixaobay Bird populations in North America are rapidly decreasing. Climate change, among various factors affecting these birds, plays a noteworthy role, often interacting with other stressors like habitat loss. Researchers from the University of California, Davis, discovered that extreme temperatures affect avian reproduction differently based on the bird's habitat. Published in the journal Science, the...

Despite these shifts, learning to code remains crucial for cognitive skills, especially problem-solving and logical reasoning. Coding education must adapt to emphasize human skills for AI use. CodeBrave trains disadvantaged Lebanese youth in coding, robotics, and AI, providing...
Graphene, a material derived from ordinary pencil lead when shaved down to atomic layers, has demonstrated an array of extraordinary properties over the years. When stacked into five layers in a rhombohedral pattern, graphene exhibits a rare "multiferroic" state, combining unconventional magnetism and a unique form of electronic behavior known as ferro-valleytricity. This discovery,...
