Day Zero': This city is counting down the days until its water taps run dry
A week ago, a dam in South Africa's Nelson Mandela Bay was decommissioned as levels dropped too low to extract any actual water. Another is just days away from emptying out. Now much of the city... #nelsonmandelabay #southafrica #dayzero

Can computers understand complex words and concepts?
In “Through the Looking Glass,” Humpty Dumpty says scornfully, “When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.” Alice replies, “The question is whether you can make words mean so many different things.”The study of what words really mean is ages old. The human mind must parse a web of detailed, flexible information and use sophisticated common sense to perceive their meaning.Now, a newer problem related to the meaning of words has emerged: Scientists are studying whether artificial intelligence can mimic the human mind to understand words the way people do. A new study ...

Computational design to suppress thermal runaway of Li-ion batteries via atomic substitutions to cathode materials - Yoshimoto Y, Toma T, Hongo K, Nakano K, Maezono R.
The cathode material of a lithium-ion battery is a key component that affects durability, capacity, and safety. Compared to the LiCoO(2) cathode material (the reference standard for these properties), LiNiO(2) can extract more Li at the same voltage and ha...

Traffic foreground detection at complex urban intersections using a novel background dictionary learning model - Cao Q, Wang Z, Long K, Chen X.
In complex urban intersection scenarios, due to heavy traffic and signal control, there are many slow-moving or temporarily stopped vehicles behind the stop lines. At these intersections, it is difficult to extract traffic parameters, such as delay and que...

Facial Pain Comes to Light
Neurons that glow under the microscope offer insight into safer pain reliefIn Brief:Using an imaging technique to visualize pain signals in facial nerves, NIDCR researchers identified a protein that enhances neurons ’ responses to painful stimuli.Blocking the protein in mice blunted pain signaling; the results could inform development of safer, non-opioid pain therapies.The scientists used fluorescence to track surges of pain signaling molecules in facial nerves, which flicker like twinkling lights in response to certain types of pain-related stimuli. | Minghan Hu and Andrew DoyleFrom a throbbing tooth or aching ja...

Facebook whistleblower and director of ‘The Social Dilemma’ talk about social media’s impact
Though Facebook, Twitter and other social media channels have connected relatives and long-lost friends, provided platforms for oppressed voices, helped people explore their identities and see perspectives and parts of the world removed from their day-to-day lives, there have also been negative consequences.Recently, two leading critics of social media sat down with Ramesh Srinivasan, a professor at the UCLA School of Education and Information Studies, to explore the potential harms the popular platforms can cause. Frances Haugen, the Facebook whistleblower who testified before Congress that the social media giant s...

Unexpected protein could play role in common brain disorder
Scientists have known for years that amyloid fibrils — fibrous, ropelike structures formed by closely linked protein molecules — are present in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases and likely play a role in the progression of these disorders. Now, UCLA biochemists have discovered such fibrils in the brains of people with a form of frontotemporal lobar degeneration, or FTLD, the most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer ’s and Parkinson’s. But surprisingly, the type of protein they expected to find in these potentially harmful fibrils wasn’t there at all; instead, a l...

Astronomy ’s Environmental Toll Is Surprisingly High. But There Are Ways to Clean it Up
It’s hard not to love the Kepler Space Telescope. Launched in 2009, the venerable spacecraft discovered nearly 5,000 suspected or confirmed exoplanets—or worlds orbiting other stars—during its 11-year lifetime. Built and launched at a relative bargain price of $600 million, it generated 4,306 scientific papers written by 9,606 authors. So all good, right? Well, not entirely.
In that same 11 years, the telescope that discovered so many other worlds did no favors for our own, generating an annual total of 4,784 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, or a hefty 52,620 tons over its lifetime, mostly as a result of...
