AI-based demand forecasting creates planning reliability in the textile industry‎

How can sales figures be forecast more reliably, production capacities planned fully digitally, and employee know-how systematically integrated at the same time? To address this issue, Fraunhofer IWU developed an AI-powered demand forecasting tool for frottana Textil GmbH & Co. KG, the company behind the MÖVE brand. The tool intelligently analyzes historical sales data and provides companies with a robust, data-driven basis for sales and order planning; in a subsequent step, production planning could also be adapted.

New modeling shows where to focus conservation efforts for Australia's endangered alpine ash‎

An alpine ash forest is a sight to behold. Alpine ash (Eucalyptus delegatensis) is a tall eucalypt species that grows in the cool, wet mountains of southeastern Australia.

Cosmic eruption caught in the act by submillimeter array's new fastest response system‎

On Jan. 26, 2026, the Submillimeter Array (SMA) on Maunakea crossed an important threshold for time-domain astronomy. For the first time, scientists from the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian (CfA) demonstrated a new rapid-response capability at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths, zooming in on a gamma-ray burst (GRB) within minutes of its discovery and capturing the earliest observations of such an event ever made at these frequencies. The successful demonstration is published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Abundant catalyst converts methane into valuable liquid chemicals‎

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and their collaborators have demonstrated a promising new approach for converting methane—the primary component of natural gas—into liquid chemicals that are precursors for many industrial chemicals and fuels. The research, described in a paper just published in Advanced Functional Materials, shows how molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), an earth-abundant industrial catalyst, can be used with minimal tweaking to selectively convert methane into methyl peroxide and other liquid oxygenate compounds at temperatures below 100°C (212°F). Methyl peroxide is a precursor for making methanol, an energy-dense liquid fuel that can be transported easily.

Grasslands could lose four times more carbon uptake under future drought conditions‎

The effects of individual climate factors on ecosystems are usually considered in isolation. However, in reality, they occur simultaneously and influence each other. Increasing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere contribute to climate warming, which in turn fosters more frequent and intense drought periods. A study from Innsbruck shows that the consequences of drought on grasslands in a future climate will be more severe than previously assumed. The work of a team led by Maud Tissink and Michael Bahn from the Department of Ecology has been published in Science Advances.

Shark‑spotting drones are about reassurance—not full protection‎

Sharks are front of mind for many Sydneysiders and coastal New South Wales residents. In January, a teenager died amid a spate of attacks in and around Sydney. This month, a woman was bitten by a large great white while swimming close to shore and between the flags at Coogee Beach.

Loss of DNA protector gene exposes vulnerabilities in cancerous cells‎

Every time a cell copies its DNA, parts of the genome are exposed and vulnerable to damage or errors. Molecular biologist Simon Boulton is interested in how cells spot and repair damage to their DNA, and what happens if this process fails or if key genes are mutated.

Quantum computer simulates hadronization, reproducing string breaking with 104 qubits‎

By remotely accessing an IBM quantum computer, a research scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has successfully simulated a key process in particle physics: hadronization. Although based on a simplified model of quantum mechanics, the project lays the groundwork for how physicists can leverage the power of quantum computers to make large scientific calculations beyond the capabilities of classical supercomputers. The research is published in the journal Physical Review D.

3,000-year-old Irish Bronze Age site may be one of Europe's earliest 'town-like' settlements‎

A major prehistoric center in Ireland was among the first large, organized settlements to develop in Western Europe more than 3,000 years ago, new research reveals. The study, published today in Antiquity, identifies Haughey's Fort, near Armagh in Northern Ireland, as the focal point of a vast and carefully planned landscape where settlement, craft production and ritual were brought together at an unprecedented scale from around 1200 BC.

Earth microbes can survive individual martian hazards—and evade astronaut immune systems‎

Hopefully, we're about to travel back to the moon relatively soon. And while the original "giant leap for mankind" was taken by a human, Neil Armstrong brought a plethora of other forms of life along with him. Humans themselves are essentially walking ecosystems, and understanding how our microbial companions survive in the harsh environments of space will be critical to ensuring the health and safety of future astronauts, no matter where their giant leaps might be. A new Ph.D. thesis from Tommaso Zaccaria at Radboud University showcases just how well suited terrestrial pathogens actually are to some of these harsh environments.
