Award-Winning Study: We Have To Realise That Machine Learning Models Cannot Be Trusted With Absolute Certainty

A study based on expert interviews urges increased attention on possible faults within systems. Anticipating things going wrong is necessary, as are appropriate mechanisms for correcting errors.

New Models Describe The Behavior Of The Cometary Dust Trails And Their Shape

When the comet 17P/Holmes orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter burst out, it spread a vast number of particles on its trail. Academic project leader Maria Gritsevich is involved in multinational research that found out the comet´s trail resembles a gigantic hourglass.

Study: Aerosols from plant compounds can brighten clouds, which could slow down warming climate

An observational study by Finnish research groups at the SMEAR station confirms a theory that volatile organic compounds emitted by vegetation form atmospheric aerosols which make clouds more reflective. Brighter clouds reduce the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth’s surface, thereby cooling the surface.
