How AI is Transforming Wheat Farming in Pakistan

Did you know? Pakistan’s wheat harvest—vital for feeding over 240 million people—can now be predicted a month before harvest with nearly 98% accuracy using artificial intelligence. That’s the promise of a new study from Multan, Punjab, where scientists combined satellite images, weather records, and soil data into a deep-learning system called DeepAgroNet. The results demonstrate […]

Ancient Engravings 250,000 Years Older Than You Think

In the pitch-black depths of a South African cave, 30 meters underground and far from daylight, a mystery was carved into stone—long before our own species even existed. The year is not 2023 but somewhere between 241,000 and 335,000 years ago. The artist? Almost certainly not Homo sapiens. Instead, the likely creator was Homo naledi, […]

3 Lessons from Indonesia’s Seagrass Carbon Story

Did you know Indonesia’s underwater seagrass meadows can store more carbon than tropical rainforests? A new study from Pari Island shows how dredging and restoration are reshaping the nation’s “blue carbon” future. 1. Healthy seagrass = carbon gold Persistent seagrass meadows around Pari Island hold up to 234 metric tons of carbon per hectare, far […]

Chesapeake Bay Dead Zones: Causes, Impacts, and Solutions

A few years ago, I got into ultra-low-budget found footage movies. You know the convention. Someone is recording while a disaster or horror is unfolding.  Think Blair Witch.  This article, coincidentally, also takes place in Maryland. So, imagine that a small town on the Chesapeake Bay’s eastern shore is plagued by mutant parasites, turning the […]

How New Brain Stimulation Research Could Help Restore Consciousness

Picture this: A person you love is in a hospital bed. Their eyes might open, but they don’t respond. Weeks turn into months. Doctors say they’re in a “disorder of consciousness”—a condition where the brain can’t fully switch back on after severe injury. There are no proven treatments. Families are left hoping for a miracle. […]
