The Social Democrats and the Liberals were also less enthusiastic, accusing her of breaking with the democratic consensus and “opening the door to the far right”.

CGCNN-HD model architecture. Credit: Journal of the American Chemical Society (2024). DOI: 10.1021/jacs.4c01353 Researchers at the University of Toronto are using artificial intelligence to accelerate scientific progress in the quest for sustainable energy. Using the Canadian Light Source (CLS) at the University of Saskatchewan (USask), they have identified a new AI-generated catalyst “recipe” that offers a more efficient way to produce hydrogen fuel. To produce green hydrogen, electricity generated from renewable sources is passed between two pieces of metal underwater, which releases oxygen and hydrogen gas. The problem with this process is that it currently requires a lot of electricity,…
Introduction Obesity and mental health disorders are two significant public health concerns worldwide, with their prevalence steadily rising over the past few decades.

The co-occurrence of obesity and mental health problems presents a considerable challenge for healthcare systems globally, highlighting the need for comprehensive interventions that…

Asia has been the top destination for Nigeria's Dangote refinery's low sulphur straight-run (LSSR) fuel oil exports for 2024 so far, data showed, but industry sources expect volumes to fall or remain roughly flat for the rest of the year.

A total of more than 500,000 tonnes of Nigerian LSSR has arrived in Asia so far this year, with…
