Australian food scientists have reclassified dietary fibres – beyond just soluble and insoluble – to better guide nutritional decisions and drive targeted health food products.

Dendritic structures that emerge during the growth of thin films are a major obstacle in large-area fabrication, a key step towards commercialization. However, current methods of studying dendrites involve crude visual inspection and subjective analysis. Moreover, growth optimization methods for controlling dendrite formation require extensive trial and error. Now, researchers have developed a new AI model that incorporates topology analysis and free energy to reveal the specific conditions and mechanisms that drive dendrite branching.

Singapore is now the first country to have an art installation 7,000 metres beneath the ocean. It comprises three metal cubes designed by Singaporean artist Ms Lakshmi Mohanbabu, the first Singaporean to send her artwork into space on the International Space Station in 2022.
