O.o!!!
The lack of water was particularly impacting Indigenous communities who depend on the river for food and transport, it added.
AFP has observed boats stranded around Leticia, capital of the southern Amazonas state, in recent days, with large swathes of land exposed by low water levels.
The city, near the borders with Brazil and Peru, is a critical trading post along the Amazon River.
Her initial workup revealed enlarged mediastinal nodes, bilateral ground glass interstitial opacities with areas of septal thickening, an incidental 4-cm left lower lobe nodular mass, multiple hypermetabolic lesions in the liver (the largest was 2.8 cm with a standard uptake value of 43), and osseous metastatic disease.
Ultrasound-guided biopsy showed poorly differentiated metastatic lung adenocarcinoma (stage 4) with 5% tumor cells expressing PD-L1 and negative for EGFR/ALK gene alterations.
Artificial intelligence start-ups are making revenues more quickly than previous waves of software companies, according to new data that suggests that the transformative technology is also generating strong businesses at an unprecedented rate.
According to an analysis of payments information from fintech group Stripe, top AI groups are reaching millions of dollars in sales within a year — far faster in a start-up’s life cycle than comparable non-AI tech groups.
The findings come as investors raise questions about the economic benefits of generative AI and likely returns on Big Tech’s projected trillion-dollar investment in computing infrastructure to support the technology over the coming year.
EPFL researchers developed Handcrawler, a robot hand that grasps and crawls.
EPFL’s ‘Handcrawler’ is a robotic hand that detaches and crawls like a spider to retrieve objects, then seamlessly reattaches.
Exploring the popular philosophical paradox on identity and an attempt on the discuss and decode the journey of self discovery through tome, change and asking the nature of self.
If you like this out of the box experimental voyage of mine and wish to ride along such exploration more with me in future. The comment section is all yours.
You might’ve heard comments about how western powers have been falling behind in the solar game. This chart shows how very real the Chinese dominance in that field is! Source:
The supply chain is key for the renewable energy revolution, and this chart visualizes where the world’s solar panels are manufactured.
Neutrinos fill the whole universe, with about 10 million of them per cubic foot, and most of them zip straight through Earth, and through particle detectors, without leaving a trace. Because they almost never interact with matter, only massive and sophisticated experiments can catch and measure the properties of neutrinos.
The subatomic particles called neutrinos are among the most elusive in the particle kingdom. Scientists have built detectors underground, underwater, and at the South Pole to measure these ghostly particles that come from the sun, from supernovae and from many other celestial objects.
Scientists at CERN have discovered an ultra-rare particle decay process, opening a new path to find physics beyond our understanding of how the building blocks of matter interact.

An innovative thermal energy storage system uses sand to store and release renewable energy without traditional batteries.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Earth’s moon will soon have some company — a “mini moon.”
The mini moon is actually an asteroid about the size of a school bus at 33 feet (10 meters). When it whizzes by Earth on Sunday, it will be temporarily trapped by our planet’s gravity and orbit the globe — but only for about two months.
The space rock — 2024 PT5 — was first spotted in August by astronomers at Complutense University of Madrid using a powerful telescope located in Sutherland, South Africa.
