Eliezer Feldstein, a close aide to Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, found himself in trouble after being arrested for allegedly leaking secret information. The incident started with a military reserve officer who shared a classified document with Feldstein. In September, Feldstein passed
Imagine you're trying to figure out how well a crystal can conduct heat. Traditionally, scientists use complex calculations called first-principles to predict this property, called lattice thermal conductivity (LTC). These calculations need a lot of computational power, especially when you want to e
Doctors often struggle to predict how long lung cancer patients will live after radiation therapy. This is key for planning personalized treatments. A team recently created a model that uses machine learning to figure this out. They looked at pictures of the lungs and tumor, along with some clinical
There's a lot of information hidden in the dates of documents. This data can be super helpful for tasks like finding the right document or summarizing events. The problem is, not all documents have clear dates, especially those floating around the internet. Figuring out when a document was created,
Did you know that the color of sorghum leaves can tell a lot about how well the plant is growing? Scientists looked into how a common herbicide called Citadel 25 OD affects the pigments in sorghum leaves. They found that using more herbicide lowered the amount of pigments like chlorophylls and carot
Ever wondered how certain chemicals break down when hit by light? Scientists used a smart computer model to figure this out for nitroaromatic compounds. These compounds are known to release a gas called NO when they break down. The scientists used something called Gaussian process regression, a type
Ever wondered when you'd see Samsung's take on AR smart glasses? Well, hold onto your hats! Recent leaks from South Korea have spilled some interesting details. These glasses are expected to hit the market in the third quarter of 2025. That's just around the corner! And guess what? The initial batch
Ever thought about how we can make sure power grids work smoothly? Scientists are finding new ways to do that using smart tech. One problem is that the rotor angle—which shows how power generators work together—can go haywire. Traditional methods don't always catch this in time. That's where a cool
Hip fractures can have a big impact on a person's health and how they live their life. Even with treatment, many patients, especially older ones, still face serious problems like repeat fractures and even death. So, it's really important to figure out what factors play a big role in how a person doe
Ever wondered who has the right to challenge decisions made by Chile's Environmental Compliance and Enforcement Agency (SMA)? Laws in Chile, specifically N° 20. 417 and 20. 600, state that only those directly affected by a decision can take it to the Environmental Court. But what does "directly affe
