Autonomous vehicles — also known as self-driving cars
or self-driving vehicles — are vehicles that can navigate and
operate safely with little or no human input or intervention.
Autonomous vehicles are equipped with autonomous driving
systems that use a combination of sensors, computing, and
software to safely perceive their environment and execute
driving tasks.
Autonomous driving offers a range of benefits. One of
the most significant advantages is the potential to improve
road safety by reducing vehicle collisions, many of which are
caused by human error. Autonomous vehicles are designed
to follow traffic laws, monitor blind spots, and detect dangers
faster than human drivers.
Autonomous vehicles also have the potential to deliver
freedom of mobility for people who are unable to drive by
expanding access to transportation options. They can navigate
traffic jams and complex urban environments efficiently, which
can help reduce traffic congestion and lower emissions —
particularly as the transportation industry moves away from
internal combustion engines and toward electric vehicles.

Life Expectancy (1900-2023)
People are living longer. In 1900, the average life
expectancy of a newborn was 32 years. By 2021 this had

The large reduction in child mortality has played
an important role in increasing life expectancy. But life
expectancy has increased at all ages. Infants, children,
adults, and the elderly are all less likely to die than in the

Admixture’s impact on Brazilian population
evolution and health
Brazil is a vast continental country home to the largest
population in Latin America and boasts the world’s largest
recently admixed population1
. The colonization process
brought approximately 5 million Europeans to Brazil,
alongside the forced migration of at least 5 million Africans
and the decimation of Indigenous populations, which once
included more than 10 million people speaking more than
1000 languages. This distinctive historical interplay shaped
a complex mosaic of genetic diversity, underscoring the
importance of detailed genomic studies. Nevertheless,
similar to other populations in the Global South2
, the Brazilian
population remains notably underrepresented in genomic
research, where there is a lack of studies investigating the
effects of this population’s admixture on its evolution, diversity,
and health status.
To address these gaps, a research group generated
2723 high-coverage whole-genome sequences of the
Brazilian population, encompassing urban, rural, and riverine
communities from all five geographical regions of Brazil.
This dataset reflects a diverse group of ethnic backgrounds,
including Afro-Brazilians and descendants of Indigenous
people, and provides a comprehensive representation of
Brazilian genomic diversity.

During the nineteen-seventies and eighties, a researcher at
the University of Washington started noticing something strange
in the college’s experimental forest. For years, a blight of
caterpillars had been munching the trees to death. Then,
suddenly, the caterpillars themselves started dying off. The forest
was able to recover. But what had happened to the caterpillars?
The researcher, David Rhoades, who had a background in
chemistry and zoology, found that the trees in the forest had
changed the chemistry of their leaves, to the detriment of the
caterpillars. Even more surprising, trees that had been nibbled by
caterpillars weren’t the only ones that had changed their
chemistry. Some were changing their leaves before caterpillars
reached them, as if they’d received a warning. A shocking
possibility presented itself: the trees were signalling to one
another.
Zoë Schlanger recounts Rhoades’s story in her new book,
“The Light Eaters: How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence
Offers a New Understanding of Life on Earth.”
The contemporary world of botany that Schlanger explores in
“The Light Eaters” is still divided over the matter of how plants
sense the world and whether they can be said to communicate.
But, in the past twenty years, the idea that plants communicate
has gained broader acceptance. Research in recent decades has
shown garden-variety lima beans protecting themselves by
synthesizing and releasing chemicals to summon the predators of
the insects that eat them; lab-grown pea shoots navigating mazes
and responding to the sound of running water; and a chameleonic
vine in the jungles of Chile mimicking the shape and color of
nearby plants by a mechanism that’s not yet understood.
Schlanger acknowledges that some of the research yields as
many questions as answers. It’s not clear how the vine gathers
information about surrounding plants to perform its mimicry.

Think for a minute about the
little bumps on your tongue. You
probably saw a diagram of those
taste bud arrangements once in
a biology textbook — sweet
sensors at the tip, salty on either
side, sour behind them, bitter in
the back.
But the idea that specific
tastes are confined to certain
areas of the tongue is a myth that
“persists in the collective
consciousness, despite decades
of research debunking it”,
according to a review published this month in The New
England Journal of Medicine. Also wrong: the notion that taste
is limited to the mouth.
The old diagram, which has been used in many textbooks
over the years, originated in a study published by David Hanig,
a German scientist, in 1901. But the scientist was not
suggesting that various tastes are segregated on the tongue.
He was actually measuring the sensitivity of different areas,
said Paul Breslin, a researcher at Monell Chemical Senses
Center in Philadelphia. “What he found was that you could
detect things at a lower concentration in one part relative to
another,” Dr. Breslin said. The tip of the tongue, for example, is
dense with sweet sensors but contains the others as well.
The map’s mistakes are easy to confirm. If you place a
lemon wedge at the tip of your tongue, it will taste sour, and if
you put a bit of honey toward the side, it will be sweet.
The perception of taste is a remarkably complex process,
starting from that first encounter with the tongue. Taste cells
have a variety of sensors that signal the brain when they
encounter nutrients or toxins. For some tastes, tiny pores in cell
membranes let taste chemicals in.
Such taste receptors aren’t limited to the tongue; they are
also found in the gastrointestinal tract, liver, pancreas, fat cells,
brain, muscle cells, thyroid and lungs. We don’t generally think
of these organs as tasting anything, but they use the receptors
to pick up the presence of various molecules and metabolize
them, said Diego Bohórquez, a self-described gut-brain
neuroscientist at Duke University. For example, when the gut
notices sugar in food, it tells the brain to alert other organs to
get ready for digestion.

Researchers investigated the quantities of thousands of
muscle proteins and found a possible new explanation for
muscle memory. A study showed for the first time that muscles
"remember" training at the protein level. It is often thought that
the effects of exercise are short-lived, and a break from the
gym can cause stress over muscle loss. However, the research
has shown that this stress is partly unnecessary, as the effects
of resistance training persist in muscles for up to two months
and the gains are fast when training is started again. But what
mechanisms and changes at the cellular and molecular levels
explain muscle memory? In the study, ten weeks of resistance
training was followed by a break of the same length and then
followed by another ten weeks of resistance training. Using the
proteomics method, it was possible to study the quantities of
over 3,000 muscle proteins using advanced mass
spectrometry equipment. The study found two types of change
profiles in muscle proteins. Some proteins changed as a result
of training, returned to their pre-training state during the break,
and changed again during the new training period similarly to
the first training period. These included proteins related to
aerobic metabolism. Another group of proteins changed as a
result of training and remained changed during the break and
after the new training period. Among these proteins were
several calcium-binding proteins, such as calpain-2, whose
gene has recently been identified to retain a memory trace
even after a training break. "At the level of the number of
muscle nuclei and the memory traces of genes, that is,
epigenetics, long-term responses that persist even after a
break and possibly explain 'muscle memory' have previously
been observed," says a researcher. "Now, for the first time, we
have shown that muscles 'remember' previous resistance
training at the protein level for at least two and a half months."

Nearly a century ago, Edwin Hubble discovered that the
universe is getting larger. Modern measurements of how fast it is
expanding disagree, however, suggesting that our understanding
of the laws of physics might be off. Everyone expected the sharp
vision of the James Webb Space Telescope to bring the answer
into focus. But a long-awaited analysis of the telescope’s
observations released late Monday evening once again gleans
conflicting expansion rates from different types of data, while
homing in on possible sources of error at the heart of the conflict.
Two rival teams have led the effort to measure the cosmic
expansion rate, which is known as the Hubble constant, or H0.
One of these teams, led by Adam Riess of Johns Hopkins
University, has consistently measured H0 to be about 8 percent
higher than the theoretical prediction for how fast space should
be expanding, based on the cosmos’s known ingredients and
governing equations. This discrepancy, known as the Hubble
tension, suggests that the theoretical model of the cosmos might
be missing something—some extra ingredient or effect that
speeds up cosmic expansion.
Riess and his team released their latest measurement of H0
based on Webb data this spring, getting a value that agrees with
their earlier estimates.
But for years a rival team led by Wendy Freedman of the
University of Chicago has urged caution, arguing that cleaner
measurements were needed. Her team’s own measurements of
H0 have invariably landed closer than Riess’ to the theoretical
prediction, implying that the Hubble tension may not be real.
Since the Webb telescope started taking data in 2022, the
astrophysics community has awaited Freedman’s multipronged
analysis using the telescope’s observations of three types of
stars. Now, the results are in: Two types of stars yield H0
estimates that align with the theoretical prediction, while the
third—the same type of star Riess uses—matches his team’s
higher H0 value.

Our planet is home to subterranean lava deposits and smatterings of obsidian—black volcanic glass. Scalding groundwater bubbles to the surface in places. In such a landscape, you remember that the planet’s hard exterior is so thin that we call it a crust. Its superheated interior burns with an estimated forty-four trillion watts of power. Heat mined from underground is called geothermal and can be used to produce steam, spin a turbine, and generate electricity. Until recently, humans have tended to harvest small quantities in the rare places where it surfaces, such as hot springs. The biggest drawback is drilling miles through hot rock, safely. If scientists can do that, next-generation geothermal power could supply clean energy for eons. Right now, geothermal energy meets a puny portion of humanity’s electricity and heating needs. Fossil fuels power about eighty per cent of human activity, pumping out carbon dioxide and short-circuiting our climate to catastrophic effect. Converts argue that geothermal checks three key boxes: it is carbon-free, available everywhere, and effectively unlimited. It is also baseload, which means that, unlike solar panels or wind, it provides a steady flow of energy. “Over the last two years, I have watched this exponential spinup of activity in geothermal,” a drilling expert said. But there is a risk of moon shots: often, they miss. “There’s basically zero chance that you’re going to develop a moon-shot technology and have it be commercial in five years, on a large-scale”, said Mark Jacobson, an engineering professor. That’s how long humanity has to lower emissions before climatic devastation. “There’s a very decent chance you can do that with wind and solar,” he said. Perhaps, when resources and time are finite, trying and failing could be worse than not trying at all.

Considere o texto a seguir:
Ice flows across Antarctica and continues to do so as it reaches the edge of the land mass and extends over the ocean. The huge floating tongues of ice often remain attached to the continent. Anything that remains grounded on the land is part of the Antarctic ice sheet; the floating part is an ice shelf. Floating ice shelves surround three-quarters of Antarctica’s coast and make up about 11% of its total area. One of the largest, the Ross Ice Shelf, is roughly the size of France. The George VI Ice Shelf is shown in the image, taken by NASA’s Landsat 8 in January 2020.
It may seem intuitive that all the ice added to the ocean from melting ice shelves would raise global sea level, but that’s not the case. By Archimedes’s principle, ice shelves floating on the water have already displaced their own weight, so their disintegration or melting won’t change the water level. Ice shelves do, however, regulate the speed of glaciers on Antarctica’s land. Ice shelves act to hold glaciers back. Take the shelf away, and the glaciers are free to speed up and flow into the ocean. Any ice and liquid water that the glaciers take with them will raise sea level. Of Earth’s fresh water, 70% is stored in Antarctica’s ice; that is the equivalent of about 58 meters of sea-level rise if all of it were to melt.
