A Machine Learning-Based Solution Could Help Firefighters Circumvent Deadly Backdrafts

“A lack of oxygen can reduce even the most furious flame to smoldering ash. But when fresh air rushes in, say after a firefighter opens a window or door to a room, the blaze may be suddenly and violently resurrected …

AI answers the call for quail information

“A new model gives wildlife managers the ability to gather the necessary data in a matter of minutes When states want to gauge quail populations, the process can be grueling, time-consuming and expensive. It means spending hours in the field …

AI predicts physics of future fault slip in laboratory earthquakes

“Analyzing seismic signals, a natural-language processing approach ‘auto-fills’ the future physical state of a fault in an earthquake machine, with potential applications in Earth An artificial-intelligence approach borrowed from natural-language processing — much like language translation and auto-fill for text on …

Artificial intelligence powers record-breaking all-in-one miniature spectrometers

“Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to replace optical and mechanical components, researchers have designed a tiny spectrometer that breaks all current resolution records. We see light and colours around us every day. However, to analyse the information it carries, we must …

Bringing photocatalysis from laboratory to industry

“Combination of flow chemistry and nanofiltration results in viable process set-up Photocatalysis is considered a promising novel approach for the sustainable synthesis of, amongst others, active pharmaceutical ingredients and agrochemicals. In a paper in Nature Communications, researchers at the Flow …
