Tracking Data Show How the Quiet Of Pandemic-Era Lockdowns Allowed Pumas to Venture Closer to Urban Areas
New research from the University of California, Santa Cruz shows how regional shelter-in-place orders during the coronavirus pandemic emboldened local pumas to use habitats they would normally avoid due to their fear of humans.
HKUST Scientists Develop Simple Blood Test for Early Detection of Alzheimer’s Disease
An international research team led by HKUST has developed a simple but robust blood test from Chinese patient data for early detection and screening of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) for the first time, with an accuracy level of over 96%.
Artificial Intelligence Breakthrough Gives Longer Advance Warning of Ozone Issues
Ozone levels in the earth’s troposphere (the lowest level of our atmosphere) can now be forecasted with accuracy up to two weeks in advance, a remarkable improvement over current systems that can accurately predict ozone levels only three days ahead.
Tiny Satellites Could Help Warn of the Next Big Hurricane
