Escher's artwork is a gateway into a world of depth-defying optical illusions, featuring "impossible objects" that break t

Researchers developed a fully numerical design method using differential equations and genetic algorithms to optimize WPT systems. This approach ensures stable output voltage, high efficiency, and zero-voltage switching across varying loads, overcoming the limitations of traditional analytical-based methods.

No driver is needed -- except by legislation to supervise its operation, at least for now. A rail line linking two northern Czech towns is testing Europe's first driverless train operating in an open environment, its developer told AFP on Tuesday. The train named Edita has been running since April on a local railway used as a testing track by the Prague-based private AZD company producing transport control and signaling systems. "The train runs autonomousl

The subsequent Australian Transport Safety Bureau investigation suggested the severity of the turbulence caught the captain by surprise. This is not an isolated event. Thunderstorms featuring severe wind gusts such as violent updrafts and downbursts are hazardous to aircraft. Downbursts in particular

Perceptions of attractiveness can influence how customers judge their server's likeability and competence, a study conducted by an Ole Miss doctoral graduate and colleagues indicates. The perceptions vary by gender and can affect performance evaluations, tips and even promotions.

That's how hard it is for scientists to find disease markers—called biomarkers—in the blood. And instead of one stadium, researchers must search through the equivalent of 100,000 stadiums worth of information. To tackle this challenge, a research team from Michigan Sta

This urgency is underscored by reports from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, which states that nearly 828 million people suffer from hunger worldwide. Climate change is further escalating these issues, disrupting traditional farming systems and emphasizing the need for smarter, resource-efficient solutions. But imagine a futur

Vision for an integrated early warning foundation model. Credit: Nature Communications (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-57640-w AI can assist early warning systems that predict impacts of extreme weather events such as droughts and heavy rainfall. The year 2024 once again clearly showed that Europe is especially vulnerable to climate change, and in a number of different ways. Southeast Europe experienced several particularly severe heat waves in 2024, inclu

A paper on this discovery is published in the journal Iraq. "It's a fascinating hymn that de

Angel Mianscum of the Ouje-Bougoumou Cree Nation laments the loss of so much tree cover but says she is pleased to see an 'innovative' plan for local reforestation. A large aerial drone flies over the charred remains of Canadian forests devastated by wildfires, bombarding the ground with seed capsules to accelerate reforestation. This area of northern Quebec province was ravaged by megafires in the summer of 2023 and for the second year in a row a pilot pr
