Atlantic seaweed blooms may be predictable, opening path to carbon removal and biofuels

The science academies of G7 member countries have identified international space governance as a pressing issue for the G7 Leaders' Summit, to be held from June 15–17 in Evian, France.

The latest discoveries by an international research team, which includes Academy Research Fellow Ferhat Kaya from the University of Oulu, Finland, offer a detailed view of how early humans lived, moved, and adapted to their environment 100,000 years ago. The group has been studying the Afar Rift since 1981. The study is published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Being able to see light and detect radiation is of utmost importance at any frequency. While this challenge has been solved in the visible range, radiation detectors in the far-infrared and terahertz regimes are either not sensitive, slow, or require bulky and expensive, often cryogenically cooled devices, which hinders practical applications.

Changes in work capacity can provide early signals for who is at risk of sick leave, according to a doctoral thesis from the University of Gothenburg. The findings point to new ways to identify the need for support before employees leave work.
