The number of steps you should walk every day to start seeing benefits to your health is lower than previously thought, according to the largest analysis to investigate this. The study, published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, found that walking at least 3967 steps a day started to reduce the risk of dying from any cause, and 2337 steps a day reduced the risk of dying fr

The head of Norway's mammoth sovereign wealth fund said Wednesday it would be "quite difficult" to bring down global inflation due to persistent upward pressure brought on by climate change and global market trends. But a positive development in the world is artificial intelligence, which will enable us to concentrate on the "most fun" tasks, Nicolai Tangen, the chief executive of Norges Ban

Major Australian mining group Whitehaven Coal is set to double its methane emissions by 2030 as it expands operations, an energy think tank warned Thursday, questioning the company's estimates. If all its plans go ahead, Whitehaven's coal mines are on track to release more than 60,000 tonnes a year of the potent greenhouse gas by 2030 - about twice current levels, said the study by Ember, a

Global researchers have long been delving into alternatives to traditional electronic computing systems due to inherent limitations associated with electron-based technologies. Magnonics, a burgeoning field in magnetism, is proving to be a promising contender. Unlike conventional methods relying on the exchange of electrons, magnonics harnesses waves generated within magnetic media for data tr

In a new study, researchers have taken an important step toward understanding how exploding stars can help reveal how neutrinos, mysterious subatomic particles, secretly interact with themselves. One of the less well-understood elementary particles, neutrinos rarely interact with normal matter, and instead travel invisibly through it at almost the speed of light. These ghostly particles ou

With its wind energy research farm, the German Aerospace Center has a globally unique large-scale research facility in Krummendeich, near the mouth of the River Elbe. The Wind Validation (WiValdi) facility enables full-scale research with an unprecedented level of detail under real environmental conditions. The goal is to better understand wind energy with all its influencing factors. In c

Artificial neural networks, ubiquitous machine-learning models that can be trained to complete many tasks, are so called because their architecture is inspired by the way biological neurons process information in the human brain. About six years ago, scientists discovered a new type of more powerful neural network model known as a transformer. These models can achieve unprecedented perform

Researchers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have created a series of maps showing land-surface temperatures in the Phoenix area in July 2023, when the city experienced a record-breaking run of hot weather. The images reveal the cumulative effect - overnight and across the month - of relentless daytime heating. The data was captured during overnight hours (around 2 a.m.) on several days

If global temperatures keep rising and reach 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels, people worldwide could face multiple impacts of climate change simultaneously. This is according to a NASA-led study that analyzed the projected impacts of such warming to understand how different climate effects might combine. A 2-degree rise in global temperatures is considered

Extreme rainfall during the Asian monsoon repeatedly causes catastrophic destruction in Southeast Asia. However, the effects of this large-scale weather system extend far beyond the Indian subcontinent. Heavily polluted air masses from the near-surface atmosphere in Southeast Asia travel as far as the lower stratosphere above Europe. From August to October 2023, a team of German research institu
