Headphones that use AI to single out one voice in a crowded spaceUniversity of Washington Researchers have integrated AI with standard headphones to isolate the voice of a single speaker in a noisy crowd simply by looking at them. The code for this advanced noise-cancelling system is freely available for anyone interested in building their...
LDCs: Extreme temperatures may increase risk of stroke mortality | PreventionWeb Extreme temperatures raise stroke death risk in low-income countries. Both extreme heat and cold are linked to higher death rates from ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, as found in a new study by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The connection between extreme temperatures...
"We took up the challenge of making every aspect of the on-street charging experience faster and better and can't wait to deploy our new DEAP Trees by the thousands," said Gravity founder and CEO, Moshe CohenGravity Technologies In March, Gravity Technologies not only launched the fastest EV charging station in the US but also introduced...
An aerial view of the rust-colored Kutuk River in Gates of the Arctic National Park in Alaska. Thawing permafrost is exposing minerals to weathering, increasing the acidity of the water, which releases metals like iron, zinc and copper For the first time, a large team of North American scientists has mapped Alaska's 'rusting' rivers and...
Runoff from fracking operations is not usually considered a good thing, but a new finding reveals it could be a source of a very valuable metalDALL-E As electric vehicles and other battery technologies continue to rise, researchers anticipate a surge in the demand for lithium in the coming years. A new study identifies an unusual...
Credit: Pixabay A recent study reveals that artificial intelligence (AI) software analyzing MRI scans can detect differences in the cellular organization of the brains of men and women. Researchers observed these distinctions in the white matter, which primarily resides in the innermost layer of the human brain and facilitates communication between different brain regions. Men and...
Credit: Pixabay Study Discovers Increased Pressure Impairs Growth of Embryonic Stem Cells Critical for Facial Features Development. An international research team examined the growth patterns of mouse and frog embryos, as well as human embryoids (aggregates of embryonic cells cultured in laboratory settings) to delve into the mechanisms through which certain cells regulate growth and differentiation. They...

Previous techniques relied on rainfall measurements to infer the presence of surface water conducive to mosquito breeding. However, a study led...
The finding of cattle rock drawings in the Sahara Desert suggests that, indeed, the area was once lush and verdant. (Cooper et al.). The discovery of rare rock art depicting cattle in the Sahara Desert implies past lushness with abundant resources for diverse animal life. The Eastern Desert of Sudan, known as the "Atbai," hosts nomadic...
Credit: Pixabay The shift from the African humid period (AHP) to arid conditions in North Africa stands out as a prominent example of climate tipping points in recent geological records. These tipping points occur when minor disturbances provoke significant, nonlinear reactions in the climate system, leading to a transition to a distinctly different climate state,...
