Trillions of rogue planets may be wandering alone in our galaxy

Posted by in category: space

In an astonishing revelation, researchers from NASA and Japan’s Osaka University have uncovered data suggesting the rogue planets – those solitary wanderers unhinged from any star – significantly outnumber the approximately hundred billion planets which orbit stars.

The findings indicate that NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, slated for launch by May 2027, could discover as many as 400 rogue planets similar in mass to Earth. A likely candidate for this category has already been singled out from the data.

David Bennett is a senior research scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and co-author of two papers detailing these findings.

The Role Of AI In Creating A More Sustainable Food System

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, finance, food, robotics/AI

Bryton Shang, CEO, Aquabyte.

We are facing a daunting task. The world will have to feed 10 billion mouths by 2050, but our current methods are unsustainable. Eleven percent of global emissions come from agriculture. Water, land and biodiversity are rapidly declining. And more than 800 million people continue to suffer from hunger.

In my earlier career, I harnessed the power of AI for financial markets, then for cancer treatments. In my current work, I think a lot about how AI can help us tackle another complicated behemoth: the food system.
