  As artificial intelligence continues to gain ground in most sectors worldwide, the technology is set to transform Korea’s labour market, according to new research by the Korea Institute for Industrial Economics & Trade. The impact of AI is likely to increase demand for occupations that require higher levels of education such as humanities and social science research, legal specialists, corporate management, administrative, clerical and educational fields, the industrial policy think tank said in the report released on 12 August. In contrast, it is likely to result in lower demand for roles that rely on manual skills — including jobs in manufacturing, agriculture, production, construction, mining, and textile and clothing production — as they can be replaced by AI-powered robots or machines, it added. The research is based on the AI Occupational Exposure Index, which measures how occupations are impacted by AI. “The impact of AI on jobs is expected to be different from job to...

  Chinese research ships are appearing more often in the United States Arctic than they have in years past, the U.S. Coast Guard said. In response, Coast Guard crews are ramping up their presence in U.S. Arctic waters to address what they've described in a news release as "increased activity" as of late by Chinese research vessels in that area. The Coast Guard has detected and responded to two Chinese research ships currently operating in the U.S. Arctic, and five similar vessels are being monitored in or near the polar region, according to the federal agency, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security. Last week, a C-130J Hercules aircraft from the U.S. Coast Guard station and military base in Kodiak, Alaska, identified the two Chinese research ships, called Ji Di and Zhong Shan Da Xue Ji Di, as they traveled northeastward across the Bering Sea. The Coast Guard said the crew of its cutter Waesche responded for a second time to the Zhong Shan Da Xue Ji Di, a L...

  Chinese scientists have found a way to turn human stem cells into dopamine-producing brain cells, transplanting them into mice and helping reduce depressive behaviour and boost pleasure. When the engineered neuron-like cells were grafted into depression-model mice, they helped lessen symptoms like anxiety and resignation while increasing feelings of enjoyment. The development has the potential to be employed as a therapy to treat neuropsychiatric disorders by directly targeting and repairing parts of the brain involved in mood regulation. “This study provides proof-of-concept evidence supporting the use of cell therapy to treat psychiatric disorders by specifically reconstructing dysfunctional neural circuits,” the researchers said in a paper published in the peer-reviewed journal Cell Stem Cell on August 11. Major depressive disorder ranks among the top contributors to global disease, affecting hundreds of millions of people around the world. Some experience treatment-resistant ...

  From the rainforests of Central and South America to the savannas of northern Australia, the world’s equatorial regions are home to thousands of unique bird species, from macaws to toucans to hummingbirds, who thrive in hot and humid environments. But as climate change accelerates, tropical regions are seeing ten times the number of dangerously hot days than they did 40 years ago, threatening the survival of some of the world’s most colorful birds, new research shows. Between 1950 and 2020, extreme heat events reduced tropical bird populations by 25% to 38%, according to a study published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution. 📌 More Info: 🌐 Visit: https://inventionawards.org/award-nomination/?ecategory=Awards&rcategory=Awardee 📝 Register: https://inventionawards.org/award-registration/ 📧 Contact: contact@inventionawards.org 📲 Get Connected: 🔹 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php 🔹 Twitter: https://x.com/Scitentist55046 🔹 Pinterest: https://in.pint...

After Sputnik’s launch, many Americans began to think more seriously about science and technology. Schools added courses on subjects like chemistry, physics and calculus. Universities and corporations took government grants and invested them in scientific research and development. And the federal government itself formed new agencies, such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Department of Defense’s Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), to develop space-age technologies such as rockets, weapons and computers. Unlike technologies such as the phonograph or the safety pin, the internet has no single “inventor.” Instead, it has evolved over time. The internet got its start in the United States in the late 1960s as a military defense system in the Cold War. For years, scientists and researchers used it to communicate and share data with one another. Today, we use the internet for almost everything, and for many people it would be impossible to imagine lif...
