Human-caused climate change boosted a devastating Hurricane Helene ‘s rainfall by about 10% and intensified its winds by about 11%, scientists said in a new flash study released just as a strengthening Hurricane Milton threatens the Florida coast less than two weeks later.The warming climate boosted Helene’s wind speeds by about 13 miles per hour (20.92 kilometers per hour), and made the high sea temperatures that fueled the storm 200 to 500 times more likely, World Weather Attribution calculated Wednesday from Europe. Ocean temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico were about 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius) above average, WWA…

The Supreme Court on Tuesday appeared likely to uphold government regulation of self-assemble firearm kits that produce untraceable weapons known as “ghost guns.”The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives — responding to a skyrocketing number of ghost guns recovered at crime scenes — released new rules in 2022 treating the kits and partially complete gun frames and receivers as traditional firearms, requiring dealers to serialize the weapons, perform background checks on buyers and enforce minimum age limits. The industry sued to block it.During oral argument in the case, Garland v. VanDerStok, a majority of the justices seemed skeptical of…

This summer, scientists supercharged their tools in the hunt for signs of life beyond Earth. Researchers at the SETI Institute became the first to apply AI to the real-time direct detection of faint radio signals from space. Their advances in radio astronomy are available for any field that applies accelerated computing and AI. “We’re on the cusp of a fundamentally different way of analyzing streaming astronomical data, and the kinds of things we’ll be able to discover with it will be quite amazing,” said Andrew Siemion, Bernard M. Oliver Chair for SETI at the SETI Institute, a group formed in…

Suryakumar Yadav in action for Indian cricket team© AFP Indian cricket team captain Suryakumar Yadav is on the verge of achieving a mammoth feat ahead of the second T20I encounter against Bangladesh in New Delhi on Wednesday.

Overall, Pakistan cricket team batter Babar Azam holds the record…

The 2024 vice presidential candidates this week have separately participated in a decades-old campaign tradition: answering questions from their traveling press corps written on an orange that’s rolled up the aisle to the front of their campaign planes.Gov. Tim Walz’s press corps was first to resume the tradition, which can be traced back to the 1990s, but their lighthearted question wasn’t answered until about a day and a half later.As Walz was on his flight to the West Coast Sunday, a CBS News reporter rolled their question, written in black marker, forward at about 1:10 p.m. CT: “DREAM DINNER GUEST?”Gov.…

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden said Tuesday he is postponing a planned trip to Germany and Angola to stay at the White House to monitor Hurricane Milton, as it spins closer to Florida’s Gulf Coast.“I just don’t think I can be out of the country at this time,” he said at the White House after senior members of the administration updated him on the storm and the government’s preparations. Biden warned that Milton “could be one of the worst storms in 100 years to hit Florida,” and said he’s working “to increase the size and presence” of the federal government’s…

For more than 100 years, scientists have been using X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of crystalline materials such as metals, rocks, and ceramics.This technique works best when the crystal is intact, but in many cases, scientists have only a powdered version of the material, which contains random fragments of the crystal. This makes it more challenging to piece together the overall structure.MIT chemists have now come up with a new generative AI model that can make it much easier to determine the structures of these powdered crystals. The prediction model could help researchers characterize materials for use in batteries,…
