Typhoon Hinnamnor, a super typhoon that developed at a high latitude, caused significant damage and loss of life last year. This event, along with an intense downpour in Osong, Chungcheongbuk-do, highlights the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events due to rising global temperatures. To better understand and predict the impact of global warming

The study conducted by researchers at Peking University in China has uncovered the mysterious 02+ state of 8He, shedding light on the novel cluster structure within this neutron-rich nucleus. This groundbreaking discovery has implications not only for understanding exotic nuclear structures but also for unraveling the mysteries surrounding neutron stars. In this article, we will
Imagine the power of our smart devices being able to engage in in-depth, natural language conversations, analyze our health conditions, provide real-time translation, and even offer personalized recommendations. However, despite the advancements in AI and natural language processing, a major roadblock has been the limitations of memory in our portable devices. Apple, however, claims to
Large language models (LLMs) have gained significant attention in the field of natural language processing (NLP). These advanced deep learning algorithms have the capability to generate realistic and comprehensive answers by analyzing prompts in various human languages. With the release of Open AI’s ChatGPT platform, which can provide prompt-based responses and generate convincing written texts,
The development of drugs that can be administered orally has always been a challenge in the pharmaceutical industry. Many proteins vital for treating various diseases have remained elusive to oral drug therapy, limiting patient convenience and accessibility. However, in a recent study published in Nature Chemical Biology, scientists from the laboratory of Professor Christian Heinis
The prevalence of high cholesterol is on the rise, affecting an alarming 2 in 5 adults in the United States alone. Addressing this health issue is paramount due to the detrimental impact of elevated levels of “bad” cholesterol on heart health. However, a glimmer of hope emerges with the development of a cutting-edge vaccine that
A recent analysis conducted by researchers in the United States has revealed that a drug commonly used to manage type 2 diabetes could potentially provide protection against colorectal cancer (CRC). Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), a class of medications which includes the well-known drug Wegovy, have long been associated with weight loss and reducing
Arctic observers were recently treated to an extraordinary sight as rare rainbow-colored clouds painted the skies ahead of the holiday season. These mesmerizing polar stratospheric clouds made their appearance during a cold wave that swept through the Arctic, providing a unique spectacle for at least three consecutive days between December 18 and December 20. Witnessing
As we embark on our summer holidays and venture onto the roads, it is highly likely that we will come across peculiar-looking white or yellow boxes stationed along the roadside. These mobile road safety cameras, adorned with road safety slogans and equipped with protruding cameras, serve as a means to catch motorists engaging in various
Earth’s topography is continuously eroding, resulting in the transportation of sediment through rivers across various landscapes. The sediment is carried in the water column, bounces along the river bed, or rolls larger pebbles. As the topography flattens, the deceleration in water velocity leads to the deposition of this material in a fan shape at the
Single-use plastics are a pressing environmental concern, but researchers at the Institute for Chemical Reaction Design and Discovery (WPI-ICReDD) at Hokkaido University have discovered a groundbreaking method to repurpose plastic bags from grocery stores. Instead of ending up in landfills, these used plastic bags can be utilized to initiate chemical reactions that detoxify hazardous chemicals.
Scientists and engineers at Columbia University, in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute, have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of nonlinear optics. Through the innovative pairing of laser light with crystal lattice vibrations, the team has found a way to enhance the nonlinear optical properties of a layered 2D material. This breakthrough has
