Climate modeling leveraged by calibrating the so-called “soil color” parameter to enhance surface albedo simulation in the Weather Research and Forecasting model. This weakens land-atmosphere interactions with attenuated sensible heat and evapotranspiration, and suppresses water vapor flow into the Tibetan Plateau. Eventually, it reduces summertime precipitation wet bias by ~16% on the plateau. This study highlights the promise of enhancing climate modeling through the optimization of key land surface parameters, which is highly affordable through satellite remote sensing.

Researchers from Shenyang University of Chemical Technology explored the application potential of the Catal-GPT in catalyst design, which was built upon the qwen2 large language model, proposing a new paradigm for AI-driven catalyst development. The results showed that the qwen2 model could provide the complete preparation workflows and the detailed optimization suggestions through conversational interaction. Future work aims for cross-system adaptability to transform catalyst discovery from trial-and-error to precision targeting.

Chinese companies held the strongest foothold in global innovation, commanding seven of the Top 10 positions in the 2025 IFI Global 250 ranking.

They’ve survived for billions of years in boiling acid, deep-sea vents and salt flats. Now, some of Earth’s oldest life forms — microbes called Archaea — are offering a new weapon in the fight against one of today’s most urgent health threats: antibiotic resistance. In a new study published in Nature Microbiology, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania used artificial intelligence to identify previously unknown compounds in Archaea that could fuel the development of next-generation antibiotics.

A research team headed by the University of Zurich has developed a powerful new method to precisely edit DNA by combining cutting-edge genetic engineering with artificial intelligence. This technique opens the door to more accurate modeling of human diseases and lays the groundwork for next-generation gene therapies.

Carbohydrate is a familiar term. It’s the bagel you had for breakfast, the bread in your sandwich, the slice of cake you’re thinking about sneaking later today. But carbs aren’t only in baked goods, and they’re not just found in foods. Small yet structurally complex carbohydrates serve as elements of cell walls and are important in intercellular interactions.

Communities supporting America's meat industry have worse air quality and more vulnerable populations compared with similar communities without feedlots, according to new research from the University of Michigan.
