A groundbreaking innovation known as electro-agriculture could drastically transform food production by reducing land requirements by 94%. The electro-agriculture method, developed by bioengineers Robert Jinkerson and Feng Jiao, utilizes a solar-powered chemical reaction to convert CO2 into acetate, which can…

On Thursday, October 24, President Joe Biden announced a groundbreaking National Security Memorandum (NSM) aimed at positioning the United States as a leader in Artificial Intelligence (AI) while safeguarding human rights and privacy, Al Jazeera reported yesterday. The memo outlines…

Scientists from Ural Federal University, supported by the Russian Science Foundation, have determined the precise date of the largest volcanic eruption in the past 10,000 years. After analyzing the tree rings of subfossilized trees in the Yamal Peninsula, northern Siberia,…

Researchers at MIT have developed a method to 3D print active electronics, such as transistors, using a copper-doped polymer, eliminating the need for traditional semiconductors, New Atlas reported yesterday. This breakthrough could facilitate electronics fabrication in remote locations, including spacecraft.…

Research suggests that injecting five million tons of diamond dust annually into the stratosphere could lower global temperatures by 1.6 degrees Celsius, Anadolu Agency reported citing Science.org. Inspired by volcanic eruptions that historically cooled the Earth, scientists are exploring this…

As the number of satellites in Earth’s orbit skyrockets, experts warn of a looming crisis due to space debris, The Guardian reported yesterday. Currently, around 6,000 satellites are operational, with projections suggesting nearly 60,000 by 2030. This surge raises significant…

Researchers from Tohoku University and Nagaoka College have unveiled surprising cognitive abilities in fungi, challenging traditional views of intelligence, SciTech Daily revealed yesterday. Their study reveals that fungi, despite lacking brains, demonstrate memory, learning, and decision-making skills. The research focused…

Researchers at Florida Atlantic University are using artificial intelligence (AI) to study how infants transition from random movements to purposeful actions, SciTech Daily reported yesterday. In a recent experiment, a colorful mobile was attached to infants’ feet, allowing researchers to…

A new study published in the journal Science reveals that the salivary amylase gene (AMY1) may have duplicated as far back as 800,000 years ago, predating farming and suggesting an early adaptation to starchy diets. Co-author Kwondo Kim from The…

Researchers from VIB-KU Leuven, Columbia University, and Ecole Normale Supérieure have identified two unique human genes, SRGAP2B and SRGAP2C, that influence synapse development and may contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders like autism, SciTech Daily reported yesterday. Their study, published in Neuron,…
