Scientists from Skoltech and St. Petersburg State University have proposed a mathematical method for interpreting data on underground water flows. The new technique is more efficient and provides more accuracy in imaging fluids for planning construction works, inspecting dams for integrity, and locating water reservoirs for agriculture and private consumption in dry areas.

A novel method to 3D print components for nuclear reactors, developed by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been licensed today by Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation.

This year, three computer scientists from Saarbrücken were awarded an "ERC Starting Grant" by the European Research Council. This award, endowed with 1.5 million euros each, is among the most prestigious research grants worldwide. It is intended to support particularly promising research of young scientists. The awarded projects are in the fields of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.

Will deepfakes – AI-manipulated images, videos or audio – make courts less likely to trust evidence of human rights violations gathered on mobile phones, for example by protestors? A new research project led by a Swansea law expert has been awarded €1.5 million to examine this issue. User-generated evidence has transformed our ways of knowing about mass human rights violations and holding perpetrators to account. Yet, at the same time, the public is increasingly confronted with examples of ‘deepfakes’ – extremely realistic images, videos, or audio recordings created using machine learning technology – which are only likely to become more advanced and difficult to detect as the technology progresses.

Medieval warhorses are often depicted as massive and powerful beasts, but in reality many were no more than pony-sized by modern standards, a new study shows.
