A research team led by Professor Jo Woon Chong of the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering of Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), in collaboration with researchers from KAIST and Texas Tech University in the United States, has developed the 'Passenger Movement Estimation System (PMES).

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have discovered that rainwater runoff in the highly rugged sedimentary rock mountains of Japan's Southern Alps is governed by two processes: "deep infiltration" and "shallow drainage via landslides." These processes are dictated by the inclination of geological strata. Based on these findings, the researchers propose a conceptual framework, termed the "structural ground system," to explain how the bedding structure regulates rainwater runoff.

A new artificial intelligence model called Evo 2 can analyze and generate DNA sequences across bacteria, archaea, plants, animals, and other forms of life, marking a major step toward a unified AI system for biology.

Built on the open-access publishing platform of NEW HORIZON PRESS LIMITED, NEW Community engaged in international outreach and scholarly exchange during the 2026 international geochemistry conference. Its activities centered on emerging topics including AI-ready geochemical data, carbon removal, enhanced rock weathering, biogeochemical cycles, contaminant transport and transformation, and climate change, with the aim of fostering interdisciplinary research networks.

With their ability to use tools, remember faces and even learn how to communicate with humans through sign language, non-human primates are considered to be among the smartest creatures on earth. However, some concepts — geometry, for instance — have traditionally been thought of as beyond the abilities of humanity’s closest cousins. But a new study to be published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences calls that prevailing notion into question.
