Imagine this: a group of African climate scientists gathered in a room in Cape Town. They weren't just discussing weather patterns; they were presenting results from complex models that explored the potential impacts of solar geoengineering on local climate. These researchers, who are experts in cli
Corynebacterium glutamicum is a critical player in the production of amino acids and valuable chemicals. Balancing the metabolic processes between cell growth and product synthesis is essential for boosting efficiency. The challenge lies in developing effective and safe gene regulation tools that ca
Ever heard of spider wasps and their clever problem-solving skills? Scientists have now given them a digital boost! They've combined the wasps' natural strategies with some smart tricks from the Grey Wolf Algorithm. This makes their search for the best solutions faster and more efficient. The new me
In the world of software engineering, general large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT have shown great promise in code generation. This has led to the creation of specialized LLMs, called Code LLMs. Many of these are made by fine-tuning general LLMs. They're often updated frequently and their perf
Imagine you're in an accident, and the blood vessels in your leg get badly damaged. Doctors need to fix them fast to save your limb and life. Usually, they use veins from your own body or synthetic tubes. But sometimes, those options aren't safe or available. That's where bioengineered human arterie
Do you know what tiny, simple lifeforms that have been around for nearly a billion years can do? Well, scientists found out that they can help create a living mammal, like a mouse! These little guys, called choanoflagellates, have special genes that can turn regular cells into amazing, do-anything c
Large Language Models (LLMs) are becoming increasingly popular. They're being used not just as smart tools, but also as parts of bigger software systems. These systems, called LLM-integrated applications, use LLMs to do tasks that would otherwise be tough or need a lot of coding. As this field grows
Large language models (LLMs) have made a splash in software engineering, especially in code generation and finding coding issues. But they're not perfect. Enter LLM-based agents, which could lead to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) by making LLMs more autonomous and capable of self-improvement.
Microorganisms play a crucial role in treating organic waste in water, like N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF). Traditional methods use graphene oxide mixed with polymers to create tiny composites, which are then stuck onto copper mesh. This creates a special material called CM@PGO. Scientists designed a
Have you ever wondered how a slime mould handles stress? Scientists have found a unique way to study this. They looked at a type of slime mould called Physarum polycephalum, known for its ability to adapt to changes in its environment. Using two new techniques, they observed how the slime mould grow
