The accelerated expansion of the present universe, believed to be driven by a mysterious dark energy, is one of the greatest puzzles in our understanding of the cosmos. The standard model of cosmology called Lambda-CDM, explains this expansion as a cosmological constant in Einstein's field equations. However, the cosmological constant itself lacks a complete theoretical understanding, particularly regarding its very small positive value.
International technology group ANDRITZ has acquired the Finnish company Procemex, the global leader in integrated web monitoring and web inspection solutions for the pulp and paper industry.
The acquisition further strengthens ANDRITZ’s automation and digitalization portfolio.
Due to their stability and resistance to water and grease, PFAS chemicals (short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are used in a wide range industries, but they are harmful to health and the environment. Membranes containing PFAS are used in many semiconductor manufacturing processes, for example.
Images in a woman who had a Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System density of 2 and was 57 years old when she underwent screening with the artificial intelligence (AI) system. (A) Right mediolateral oblique full-field digital mammographic view shows AI-provided marking (square). The screening received a high AI examination score of 10 based on this lesion with a score of 89 out of 100. (B) Same image as in A, but with findings by the radiologists.

En el ámbito de la Formación Profesional, existe una paradoja desconcertante: mientras algunas titulaciones experimentan una demanda abrumadora, otras languidecen en la oscuridad de la indiferencia estudiantil. Cada año, miles de plazas de FP quedan sin cubrir, y hay titulaciones en las que las vacantes alcanzan el 80% o más. Estos son los «títulos malditos» de la FP, programas educativos que parecen condenados a la irrelevancia y otros que, a pesar de su poca participación, no cubren la demanda laboral.
En la era digital, la Inteligencia Artificial (IA) ha permeado casi todos los aspectos de nuestra vida, incluida la educación. Esta tecnología se presenta como una herramienta poderosa que promete revolucionar tanto el proceso de aprendizaje como la labor de enseñanza. Sin embargo, surge una pregunta crucial cada vez que se debate sobre el papel de la IA en la educación: ¿Es la IA un complemento útil para los docentes tradicionales o representa una amenaza como sustituto?
The Continental tire plant in Hefei, China, recently became the company’s latest production site to receive the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUS sustainability certification. The globally recognized standard certifies that Continental meets specific sustainability standards. It also confirms the transparency of the traceability of the raw materials used in the production process. Certification of the raw materials enables Continental to ensure the end-to-end traceability of the materials from sustainable sources.
Chinese scientists have unveiled a pioneering cell therapy that promises long-term relief for asthma sufferers with a single shot.
