Generative artificial intelligence systems require a lot of energy, but many AI developers are hoping the technology can ultimately be a boon for the climate—possibly leading to a more efficient power grid, for instance.This post […]
As demand for artificial intelligence technology boosts construction and proposed construction of data centers around the world, those computers require not just electricity and land, but also a significant amount of water. Data centers use […]
News media shape public understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) and influence how society interacts with these technologies. For many people, especially those who have not sought more knowledge about AI elsewhere, media platforms are a […]
The Korea Institute of Ocean Science & Technology (KIOST) has developed an ultrasonic washing device that effectively removes salt (NaCl) from sea sand. KIOST’s research and validation results have been published in Scientific Reports.This post […]
Researchers at UNIST have developed an innovative AI technology capable of reconstructing highly detailed three-dimensional (3D) models of companion animals from a single photograph, enabling realistic animations. This breakthrough allows users to experience lifelike digital […]
A new study introduces a machine learning tool that combines satellite imagery and weather data to monitor chickpea crop health. The system accurately estimates Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Leaf Water Potential (LWP) across commercial […]
A new global analysis reveals a critical oversight in sustainable coffee and carbon-capture initiatives. These programs incentivize the planting of new trees yet fail to reward the preservation of mature shade trees in existing agroforestry […]
