Astro-farmers are the key to a long-term future off-planet. Hydroponic farming is a method of growing plants without soil, using nutrient-rich water solutions to deliver essential minerals directly to the roots European scientists have drawn up an ingenious plan to grow food on the Moon, and make humans a multi-planetary species. Scientists

Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) researchers have developed a new technology to predict the levels of damage and ageing of bridges. The DNA (Data, Network and AI) could be used for preventive maintenance and to thus avoid possible disasters. The scientists were aiming to address a significant Korean

If the start of 2023 has shown us one thing, it's that organisations are still falling short of cybersecurity standards. For companies to truly make a difference, it's time to throw away the bad password advice and take steps to eliminate passwords once and for all. As organisations brace for a

Air pollution experts have called for more research into technologies that could mitigate the impacts of microparticles from tyre wear. Even though electric vehicles solve the problem of localised fuel emissions, tyre wear creates airborne particulate matter that can have negative health impacts on humans. As tyres degrade, they release a

Offshore wind power has the potential to provide all the electrical power needed by the Northeast with thousands of extremely large wind turbines located offshore. But one of the biggest hurdles to creating that reality is getting the wind power from offshore generation points to the power grid on land. Overcoming

OpenAI in November launched ChatGPT, one of the most significant real-world applications of artificial intelligence to date. The tool allows its users to quickly generate sophisticated textual content that is uniquely constructed. Such content, therefore, likely can avoid detection by traditional plagiarism tools—which creates a concern for universities about how to

There are countless volumes of data across modern organisations. Data manifests across all the databases and spreadsheets created and utilised by different departments. Hence, businesses structured by teams inevitably create data silos because mission-critical information is often held in these units and groups. Inevitably, siloed cultures lead to a disjointed workforce,
