A new AI tool can accurately measure plaque deposits in arteries and predict a patient’s risk of suffering a heart attack within five years. The tool promises to achieve in seconds what has previously taken trained experts up to 30 minutes to deliver. Source of Article
While all non-recyclable plastics aren't very eco-friendly, expanded polystyrene foam is particularly problematic, as it's bulky and often used in disposable packaging. It could be replaced by a new biodegradable material, however, made from sawdust. Source of Article
Scientists at Japan's Tokyo Metropolitan University have taken aim at a common problem plaguing next-generation lithium metal batteries, finding a promising solution in a salty liquid that reduces problematic resistance between key components. Source of Article
Researchers at the University of Tokyo have created an RNA molecule that can not just replicate, but “evolve” into a diverse range of more complex molecules. This find could plug a major gap in the puzzle of how life on Earth began. Source of Article
Ice may seem pretty simple in our everyday experience, but it actually comes in at least 20 different forms. Scientists at UNLV have now discovered a new type of ice that may be found deep in the Earth’s mantle or on distant watery planets. Source of Article
Through its massive wind turbines and innovative offshore designs, GE continues sharpening its toolkit in a bid to built the future of sustainable energy, and a newly unveiled turbine blade shows how that can extend to the materials used. Source of Article
NASA's massive new Moon rocket is inching closer to lift-off, with the Space Launch System today exiting its Vehicle Assembly building for the first time and making its way for the launch pad for what's known as a wet dress rehearsal. Source of Article
A team of European researchers has suggested that the Moon’s orbit could be used as a gigantic detector for gravitational waves. These waves, much smaller than those that existing detectors can pick up, could originate from the early universe. Source of Article
