[6.2] AI-powered 'digital twin' of Earth could make weather predictions at super speeds — Livescience.com

Nvidia has developed Earth-2, a "digital twin" of our planet, designed to predict weather events like typhoons more quickly and accurately using machine learning and supercomputing technologies. This advanced system can run detailed simulations at a 1.2-mile scale and provide real-time predictions, which could significantly mitigate the impacts of disasters and aid in understanding future climate change scenarios. Taiwan's Central Weather Administration is testing this technology for its potential to enhance weather forecasting and disaster preparedness.

[6.1] Missing link between poor diet and increased cancer risk discovered — The Independent

A research team from the National University of Singapore discovered how poor diets and uncontrolled diabetes increase cancer risk due to the effect of methylglyoxal, a byproduct of glucose breakdown. This breakthrough suggests that methylglyoxal temporarily inactivates cancer-preventing genes. The findings challenge traditional theories about cancer development and suggest significant implications for future research and public health policies.
