USING DIFFERENT TEAMS OF ROBOTS TO MODEL ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESSES
Teams of multiple robots could help to tackle a number of complex real-world problems, for instance, assisting human agents during search and rescue missions, monitoring the environment or assessing the damage caused by natural disasters. Over the past few years, multi-robot systems have proved to be particularly useful for solving problems that involve a distribution over space or time (i.e., allowing agents to cover large distances or monitor processes over time).
RESEARCHERS USE AI TO EMPOWER ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATORS
Like superheroes capable of seeing through obstacles, environmental regulators may soon wield the power of all-seeing eyes that can identify violators anywhere at any time, according to a new Stanford University-led study. The paper, published the week of April 19 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), demonstrates how artificial intelligence combined with satellite imagery can provide a low-cost, scalable method for locating and monitoring otherwise hard-to-regulate industries.
3D DEEP NEURAL NETWORK PRECISELY RECONSTRUCTS FREELY-BEHAVING ANIMAL’S MOVEMENTS
Animals are constantly moving and behaving in response to instructions from the brain. But while there are advanced techniques for measuring these instructions in terms of neural activity, there is a paucity of techniques for quantifying the behavior itself in freely moving animals. This inability to measure the key output of the brain limits our understanding of the nervous system and how it changes in disease.

EARTH’S BIGGEST MASS EXTINCTION TOOK TEN TIMES LONGER ON LAND THAN IN THE WATER
Our planet’s worst mass extinction event happened 252 million years ago when massive volcanic eruptions caused catastrophic climate change. The vast majority of animal species went extinct, and when the dust settled, the planet entered the early days of the Age of Dinosaurs. Scientists are still learning about the patterns of which animals went extinct and which ones survived, and why. In a new study in PNAS, researchers found that while extinctions happened rapidly in the oceans, life on land underwent a longer, more drawn-out period of extinctions.
STUDY REVEALS THE WORKINGS OF NATURE’S OWN EARTHQUAKE BLOCKER
A new study finds a naturally occurring “earthquake gate” that decides which earthquakes are allowed to grow into magnitude 8 or greater.
VOLCANIC POLLUTION RETURN LINKED TO JUMP IN RESPIRATORY DISEASE CASES
Respiratory disease increased markedly following one of Iceland’s largest volcanic eruptions, a new study has found.
? ASTRONOMY & SPACE NEWS??:
INGENUITY HELICOPTER SUCCESSFULLY FLEW ON MARS (UPDATE)
NASA’s experimental helicopter Ingenuity rose into the thin air above the dusty red surface of Mars on Monday, achieving the first powered flight by an aircraft on another planet.
RESEARCH INVESTIGATES RADIO GALAXY 3C 84
An international team of astronomers has conducted a detailed kinematic study of a radio galaxy known as 3C 84. The research sheds more light on the properties of this source and its connection to gamma-ray emission. The study was detailed in a paper published April 7 on the arXiv pre-print repository.
GIANT PLANET AT LARGE DISTANCE FROM SUN-LIKE STAR PUZZLES ASTRONOMERS
A team of astronomers led by Dutch scientists has directly imaged a giant planet orbiting at a large distance around a sun-like star. Why this planet is so massive and how it got to be there is a mystery. The researchers will publish their findings in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.
? NANOTECHNOLOGY NEWS⛄☃:
SCIENTISTS NOW ABLE TO MAP DEFECTS IN 2D CRYSTALS IN LIQUID
Monolayer crystals, often being referred as 2D crystals or 2D materials, possess the unique characteristic of having a single layer of regular atomic structure. And the more regular the structure is, the higher quality the crystal. In some cases, the atomic structure is repeated to perfection, but most of the time—as is usually the case in nature—there are some flaws.
UNDERSTANDING INTERFACES OF HYBRID MATERIALS WITH MACHINE LEARNING
Using machine learning methods, researchers at TU Graz can predict the structure formation of functionalized molecules at the interfaces of hybrid materials. Now they have also succeeded in looking behind the driving forces of this structure formation.
TRACKING TOPOLOGICAL CONDITIONS IN GRAPHENE
Scientists have been able to demonstrate that graphene nanostructures can be generated by annealing of a nanostructured silicon carbide crystal for a few years. “These two-dimensional, spatially strongly restricted carbon bands exhibit a vanishingly small electrical resistance even at room temperature. They are thus ballistic,” explains Prof. Dr. Christoph Tegenkamp, Head of the Professorship of Solid Surfaces Analysis at Chemnitz University of Technology. Something similar does not happen, for example, with an expanded and perfectly two-dimensional layer of graphene.
