The demand for electronics has led to a significant increase in e-waste. In 2022, approximately 62 million tons of e-waste were generated, marking an 82% increase from 2010. Projections indicate that this figure could rise to 82 million tons by 2030.
E-waste contains valuable materials such as metals, semiconductors, and rare elements that can be reused. However, in 2022, only 22.3% of e-waste was properly collected and recycled, while the remaining materials, estimated to be worth almost $62 billion, were discarded in landfills.
Although efforts to improve e-waste recycling continue, the process remains labor-intensive, and a significant portion of e-waste is exported to developing countries, where cheap labor supports informal recycling practices involving hazardous chemicals.
Mint’s All About AI Tech4Good Awards recognised impactful AI solutions at the Jio World Centre in Mumbai. The event emphasised purpose-driven innovation, with discussions on ethical AI and community empowerment, showcasing how technology can address pressing social and environmental issues.
Time moving forwards and backward in plank time intervals? It is a legitimate possibility in physics since matter and anti-matter are identical in every aspect but mirror each other. Electrons, positrons, and other particles oppose each other as matter and anti-matter.
I argue that empty space-time acts as two mirror fields, causing matter to behave like anti-matter. The same matter in the opposite space-time field (reverse time) acts as anti-matter. As time progresses in a Möbius-like shape moves forward, and A 720-degree rotation needs to come back to its original state. These back-and-forth rapid flips cause all matter within our universe to be cut into quanta or packets, Showing packets and wave characters. while in the backward arrow of time, everything flips and is shown as anti-matter.
Space-time does not advance in time in 1 direction only, as its fields change backward and forward as frequently as Planck time remains constant, only changing directions rapidly between positive and negative (past and future), meaning time goes backward and forward, while matter within this space-time also mirrors itself. However, matter moves forward in our time-space universe towards the future since we can add all the Planck times in positive space-time intervals (we are sensing in our mind only the positive space-time intervals). Our universe is the sum of the positive side of space-time, while there is another parallel anti-universe with antimatter in negative space-time. These two universes never meet and move parallel to each other. We don’t notice the mirror universe in which our mirror self exists since the present time is only 1 plank time. next plank time will be the future and previous is already in the past.
New findings suggest our galaxy’s evolutionary history is strikingly different from all the others.
Researchers have found that there’s something highly unusual about the Milky Way that sets it apart from galaxies which, on a surface level, appear similar.
As detailed in threerecentpapers published in The Astrophysical Journal, a team of researchers examined a mountain of data as part of the Satellites Around Galactic Analogs (SAGA) survey, which was dedicated to comparing the Milky Way to 101 other galaxies that are similar in mass.
The distinction is technical but significant, the researchers say: they found that the Milky Way has surprisingly few smaller satellite galaxies compared to its peers — and some of them have mysteriously stopped forming new stars.
Methods for exploring the geography of molecular-scale processes within tissue samples are transforming cancer research, but the toolbox can be daunting.
One of the first warnings came in a paper published in 2021. There was an unexpected rise in pancreatic cancer among young people in the United States from 2000 to 2018. The illness can be untreatable by the time it is discovered, a death sentence.
With publication of that report, by Dr. Srinivas Gaddam, a gastroenterologist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, researchers began searching for reasons. Could the increase be caused by obesity? Ultraprocessed foods? Was it toxins in the environment?
Alternatively, a new study published on Monday in The Annals of Internal Medicine suggests, the whole alarm could be misguided.
