Google DeepMind artificial intelligence (AI) has predicted the structure of over two million novel chemical materials, marking a breakthrough in enhancing real-world technologies.In a scientific paper released in Nature on Wednesday, Nov. 29, the AI company reported that nearly 400,000 of its theoretical material designs may soon undergo laboratory testing. Possible uses for the research include the development of batteries, solar panels and computer chips with enhanced performance.According to the paper, identifying and creating new materials is often expensive and time-intensive. It took approximately two decades of research before lithium-ion batteries — now widely employed in devices like phones, laptops and…

World War II concluded decades ago, but live mines lurking on the ocean floor still pose threats, potentially spewing unexpected geysers or releasing contaminants into the water. Experts conduct controlled explosions to clear underwater munitions, but concerns have arisen over the environmental impacts from these blasts. Now, results in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology show that the contamination produced by detonation depends on the blast type, with weaker explosions leaving behind more potentially toxic residues. After World War II, according to research estimates, up to 385,000 metric tons of unexploded munitions — including 40,000 tons of chemical munitions — were…

MacGowan had been in intensive care for several months after first being diagnosed with viral encephalitis last year, which is said to have been exacerbated by shingles that spread to his eye.
