According to EastFruit, Southeast Asia may soon become a new export market for one of Egypt's most surprising fruits: mangoes. This seems unrealistic, given that the region has at least five well-known mango producers and net exporters (Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, and Indonesia), the latter being the second-largest mango producer in the world. However, some markets in Southeast Asia could become promising destinations for Egyptian mango exports, which are currently being actively developed in other regions such as Europe and the Middle East. “Despite Southeast Asia being the leading exporter of mangoes, the region also imports a significant amount…

A closed-loop transfer paradigm for physics-based functional molecule discovery. Credit: Nicholas Angello et al. Artificial intelligence is a powerful tool for researchers, but it has a major limitation: it cannot explain how it reaches decisions, a problem known as the “AI black box.” By combining AI with automated chemical synthesis and experimental validation, an interdisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign opened the black box and discovered the chemical principles that the AI relied on to improve molecules for harvesting solar energy. The result was a light-harvesting molecule that was four times more stable than the…
