🇦🇺 🇯🇵 Australian and Japanese scientists create silicon chip doubling 6G data capacity

A collaboration between Australian and Japanese scientists has led to the development of a new chip, a breakthrough that significantly advances 6G communication technology. This silicon-based device can transmit multiple data streams over the same frequency band, effectively doubling data capacity with minimal loss. The innovation, tested in the sub-terahertz J-band, is expected to revolutionize high-speed wireless networks and pave the way for future technologies like augmented reality and next-generation mobile networks. The research was published in Laser & Photonic Reviews.

⚡️ Energy

🇯🇵 Japan to launch world’s first steady-state fusion reactor, promising limitless clean energy

Japanese startup Helical Fusion is set to develop the world’s first steady-state fusion reactor, with an initial power capacity of 50-100 megawatts. This groundbreaking reactor, based on a helical magnetic confinement technique, aims to provide a stable and continuous energy source, potentially revolutionizing power generation. The project, estimated to cost around $5 billion, could begin operations by 2034, marking a significant step forward in the global race for sustainable nuclear energy.

🇨🇦 Canadian researchers use AI to identify a highly efficient catalyst, significantly reducing the costs of green hydrogen production

Canadian researchers have developed an AI-driven method to identify a highly efficient and stable alloy catalyst for green hydrogen production, significantly reducing costs. The AI program analyzed over 36,000 metal oxide combinations, pinpointing an alloy of ruthenium, chromium, and titanium as the most effective. This alloy demonstrated 20 times better stability than current benchmarks. This breakthrough could accelerate the adoption of green hydrogen as a practical and sustainable energy source.

🚘 Transport

🇩🇪 German engineers unveil the world’s first train powered by both hydrogen and batteries

German engineers have introduced the RS Zero, the first train capable of running on either hydrogen or battery power, marking a significant advancement in eco-friendly transportation. Designed for branch rail services, this dual-powered train offers flexibility for rail operators on routes with varying levels of electrification. With a zero-emissions design, the RS Zero aims to reduce CO2 output, while its innovative use of recycled materials and eco-friendly technologies highlights a strong commitment to sustainability.

🦾 Robotics

🇺🇸 US researchers develop biohybrid robots controlled by fungal signals

American scientists have created biohybrid robots that move in response to electrical signals from fungi, offering a new approach to autonomous robotics. By integrating fungal mycelium directly into a robot's electronics, the system reacts to environmental stimuli like light, driving the robot's movements. This breakthrough could lead to robots that naturally respond to multiple inputs, enhancing their autonomy and adaptability in tasks such as environmental monitoring or agriculture. The study was published in Science Robotics.

🤖 Artificial Intelligence

🇺🇸 US scientist develops method to forecast earthquakes months in advance using AI

A new method developed by a U.S. scientist from the University of Alaska Fairbanks could accurately forecast earthquakes months before they occur. By analyzing low-level tectonic unrest using machine learning, the method detected abnormal low-magnitude seismic activity leading up to major earthquakes in Alaska and California. The study suggests that increased pore fluid pressure within faults may trigger these early warning signs, offering a potential breakthrough in earthquake forecasting. The research was published in Nature Communications.

💊 Healthcare

🇺🇸 US tech giant Google uses AI trained on 300M sounds to detect diseases via smartphones

Google has developed an AI model, HeAR, that uses 300 million audio samples, including coughs and breathing sounds, to detect early signs of diseases like tuberculosis through smartphones. This innovative approach, integrated with India's Salcit Technologies, aims to revolutionize healthcare in remote areas with limited access to diagnostic tools. By analyzing subtle sound patterns, the AI can provide early diagnosis, improving health outcomes and accessibility for high-risk communities.

🇨🇳 Chinese scientists develop hydrogel to treat and slow early-stage arthritis

Chinese researchers have developed a new hydrogel material that could significantly slow the progression of osteoarthritis, offering hope to millions affected by the condition. The hydrogel microspheres, combined with a targeted antibody, precisely lubricate damaged cartilage, reducing friction and preventing further joint deterioration. In early-stage tests on rats, this treatment outperformed traditional methods, showing promise for effectively managing osteoarthritis in its early stages. The study was published in Advanced Materials.
