AI and energy infrastructure may buoy US economy in 2026
Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain The U.S. economy is expected to see continued growth, although at a lower level than in recent years at 1.8%. But it could be buoyed by continued investments in artificial intelligence and the corresponding energy infrastructure supplying it, according to an economic forecast from the Indiana University Kelley School of Business. "Investment in AI will likely be the dominant economic story of 2026," said Kyle Anderson, cl

Whether AI empowers or oppresses workers depends on how human managers interpret outputs
Credit: Andrea Piacquadio from Pexels Algorithms that threaten worker dignity, autonomy and discretion are quietly reshaping how people are managed at work, warns new research from the University of Surrey. The study, published in the Annals of Tourism Research, finds that artificial intelligence (AI)–driven management systems can be made more human—if organizations reintroduce human judgment, transparency and flexibility into how algorithms are designed a

'Molecular movie' capturing ribosome assembly shows how cells build life-sustaining protein factories
Credit: Phospho Biomedical Animation Ribosomes are the cell's protein factories, which read the genetic code and assemble the proteins that every organism needs to live. But as far as how ribosomes themselves were formed, tantalizingly little was known. Now, scientists have captured a key part of this process, in motion. The findings, published in Nature, combine artificial intelligence, cryo-electron microscopy, and genetics to reveal in detail how cells

Mapping the missing green: An AI framework boosts urban greening in Tokyo
Researchers from Chiba University analyzed over 80,000 street-view images to map vertical greenery in Tokyo, revealing that green facades are much more prevalent than living walls. The study also identified areas where additional greenery could improve urban comfort, mitigate heat, and enhance overall city life.
