9+ min ago (372+ words) Abu Dhabi [UAE], December 16 (ANI/WAM): Scientists at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool called LA'SR that can rapidly identify previously overlooked proteins in microalgae - tiny organisms that produce much of the Earth's oxygen and support entire aquatic ecosystems. This breakthrough will allow scientists to speed up the search for new natural compounds and enzymes that could support future clean energy solutions. It will also help researchers better understand how microscopic life adapts to changing environments and open new possibilities for monitoring water quality and tracking how ecosystems respond to climate shifts.

10+ min ago (677+ words) Rain lashed against the tall, arched windows of the library, blurring the lights of London into smears of amber and grey. Inside, the air smelled of old paper and fresh espresso. Timothy sat at the heavy oak table, his brow furrowed. He was staring at a few lines of Python code as if they were a riddle written in an ancient tongue. Margaret looked up from her book, adjusting her glasses. "What does?" "It feels like there are no rules," Timothy continued. "Like I'm just throwing things into buckets without checking if they fit." Margaret stood and walked over to the whiteboard she kept by the fireplace. She wiped away a diagram of a binary tree and picked up a marker. "That is your mistake, Timothy," she said softly. "You are thinking of variables as boxes. That is a lie…...

14+ min ago (926+ words) December 16, 2025 | 04:15 pm TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Scientists have uncovered an unusual geological feature hidden deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean near Bermuda: a rock layer far thicker than anything previously observed beneath oceanic crust elsewhere on Earth. The discovery reveals an extra rock layer measuring about 12.4 miles (20 kilometers) thick embedded beneath the ocean crust below Bermuda. Normally, Earth's structure beneath the oceans is relatively simple, with the oceanic crust sitting directly atop the mantle. "Typically, you have the bottom of the oceanic crust and then it would be expected to be the mantle," said William Frazer, the study's lead author and a seismologist at Carnegie Science in Washington, D.C., as quoted by Live Science on December 12. "But in Bermuda, there is this other layer that is emplaced beneath the crust, within the tectonic plate that Bermuda sits on." The origin of this mysterious…...
