Changing food consumers’ choices may help cut greenhouse gases

Changing food consumers’ choices may help cut greenhouse gases

Planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions associated with the global food supply chains induced by diets could fall by 17% if people change their food choices towards more plant-based diets, a new study reveals. Planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions associated with the global food supply chains induced by diets could fall by 17% if people change their food choices…

AI predicts 3D structures of receptors for drug development

AI predicts 3D structures of receptors for drug development

Artificial intelligence (AI) can help identify molecules that could serve as new drugs for mental health disorders. AI can be used to predict the three-dimensional structures of important receptors and thereby speed up the development of potential drugs. This is the result of a new study from Uppsala University published in Science Advances. Artificial intelligence (AI)…
