The algorithms behind generative AI tools like DallE, when combined with physics-based data, can be used to develop better ways to model the Earth's climate. Computer scientists have now used this combination to create a model that is capable of predicting climate patterns over 100 years 25 times faster than...

Coral Adaptation Unlikely to Keep Pace With Global Warming
Coral adaptation to ocean warming and marine heatwaves will likely be overwhelmed without rapid reductions of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to an international team of scientists.
The Melting of Greenland: A Climate Challenge With Major Implications for the 21st Century
The melting of Greenland is accelerating, with an estimated loss of between 964 and 1735 gigatonnes of ice per year by 2100 in a scenario of high greenhouse gas emissions (SSP585), according to three regional climate models.
Fine Particulate Air Pollution May Play a Role in Adverse Birth Outcomes
For pregnant women, exposure to fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5) was associated with altered immune responses that can lead to adverse birth outcomes, according to a new study led by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
Even low levels of arsenic in drinking water raise kidney cancer risk
New research findings indicate that exposure to even low levels of arsenic poses significant health risks, including an increased risk of kidney cancer.
How artificial intelligence could automate genomics research
New research suggests that large language models like GPT-4 could streamline the process of gene set enrichment, an approach what genes do and how they interact. Results bring science one step closer to automating one of the most widely used methods in genomics research.
All people are unique — also in the gut
A new study increases our knowledge about the gut and the life of gut bacteria. The study shows, among other things, that changes in the gut environment have an impact on the composition and activity of gut bacteria. Ultimately, this may help explain why we all have different gut bacteria...
Can We Avert the Looming Food Crisis of Climate Change?
Mathematical model captures the relationship between carbon dioxide, temperature, human population, and crop growth—and reveals a critical threshold.
Magnetic Tornado Is Stirring up the Haze at Jupiter’s Poles
Unusual magnetically driven vortices may be generating Earth-size concentrations of hydrocarbon haze.
It Might Be Wrecking the Climate, but Co₂ Is Actually Good for Your Cells
University of Utah chemists discover how bicarbonate can protect cells from oxidative stress in a study that challenges how cell damage has been studied for decades.
