    Achieving national climate and energy objectives will necessitate the addition or replacement of 80 million kilometres of power lines by 2040, equivalent to the entire existing global grid, says the International Energy Agency (IEA). In its report Electricity Grids and Secure Energy Transitions," the IEA says that substantial changes in grid operations and regulations are imperative, and annual investments in grids need to double to over USD 600 billion by 2030.

    Scientists at the University of Cambridge, inspired by the structure and function of the human brain, imposed physical constraints on an artificial intelligence system. Led by Jascha Achterberg and Danyal Akarca from the Medical Research Council Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit (MRC CBSU), the team aimed to replicate the developmental constraints faced by biological brains in their AI model.

    AI System, Constrained Like Brain, Shows Adaptability

    Recent studies suggest that Earth's current oxygen-rich atmosphere, which has been a stable condition for millions of years, is not a permanent state. Instead, it is predicted to transition back to a methane-dominated atmosphere similar to its composition billions of years ago. While this atmospheric shift is not expected for another billion years, scientists anticipate a rapid and significant transformation once it commences.

    In a groundbreaking development, an international research team has propelled atomic clocks into a new era by utilizing nuclear transitions in atomic scandium instead of electronic transitions. Conducted at the European X-Ray Free-Electron Laser facility, this advance is poised to usher in a thousandfold increase in timekeeping precision, as detailed in the journal Nature.

    Nuclear Clocks Pave the Way for Revolutionary Timekeeping

    A few decades ago, seismologists exploring the deep recesses of our planet stumbled upon a puzzling phenomenon—a slender layer just a few hundred kilometers thick, known as the E prime layer. For years, its origin remained shrouded in mystery. However, a recent breakthrough by an international team, including researchers from Arizona State University, has brought clarity to this long-standing puzzle.
