Europeiska unionen kan snart förnya godkännandet för glyfosat, den mest använda herbiciden i världen, för ytterligare tio år. "À l'air libre" tar en titt på hur farligt det är, med Xavier Coumoul, toxikolog vid Paris-Cités universitet.
Oil and gas companies are following the science – indeed, they are using the most advanced science available, and they are using it to extract even more fossil fuel.
[And extreme violence!]
A new report concedes that much about the observed phenomena remains difficult to explain, including their acceleration, as well as ability to change direction and submerge.
he report determines that a vast majority of more than 120 incidents over the past two decades did not originate from any American military or other advanced U.S. government technology, the officials said. That determination would appear to eliminate the possibility that Navy pilots who reported seeing unexplained aircraft might have encountered programs the government meant to keep secret.
THE RACE BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE AND DATA IN MEDICINE
Researchers, doctors and biologists benefit from the massive amount of available information as health data becomes digitized. But it also becomes harder and harder for human brains to uncover the complexity and extract insights. Data is generated at a much faster pace than knowledge. This is THE scientific challenge. We need to create the tools to help human collective intelligence extract knowledge from this influx of data. Parts of these technologies already exist, parts need to be invented. OWKIN creates AI technologies to advance knowledge and discover the medicine of tomorrow.

According to Adobe, after about 20 minutes of listening to a voice, users can make the voice say whatever they want just by typing it out. Comedian and director Jordan Peele hosted the event and Adobe tech Zeyu Jin demoed the process by editing an interview with Peele’s comedic partner Keegan-Michael Key. Jin took existing audio of Key, then used the software to make him talk about making out with Peele instead of his wife.
Am 3. Februar 2016 wurde in der Fusionsanlage Wendelstein 7-X im Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik (IPP) in Greifswald das erste Wasserstoff-Plasma erzeugt. Damit hat – nach dem Start der Anlage mit einem Helium-Plasma Anfang Dezember 2015 – der wissenschaftliche Experimentierbetrieb begonnen. Wendelstein 7-X, die weltweit größte Fusionsanlage vom Typ Stellarator, soll die Kraftwerkseignung dieses Bautyps untersuchen.

However unlike the Green Revolution 30 years ago, there is virtually no more tillable-land available to grow rice. Future gains must be made solely by improving rice yields, and on top of that, there's an imperative to use fewer harmful chemicals as fertilisers and for pest control.
