Researchers have designed an alternative, autonomous observational method to monitor the Arctic’s melting ice, which holds promise for improving the autonomy of marine vehicles, aiding in maritime missions, and gaining a deeper understanding of how melting Arctic sea ice affects marine ecosystems. Their conceptual design features a small waterplane area twin hull vessel that acts as a docking and charging station for autonomous underwater vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles, using solar and turbine energy to enable continuous monitoring.

Inflammatory eye diseases can be challenging to treat, with medications like corticosteroids causing unwanted complications such as glaucoma. However, a study led by researchers from Fujita Health University, Japan, offers hope. The team discovered that local injections of mesenchymal stem cells into periocular tissue can significantly reduce inflammation in conditions such as chronic graft-versus-host disease. These findings offer hope for a safer, more targeted alternative to conventional treatments for ocular inflammatory diseases.

Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) is becoming immensely popular because of its widespread applications. In a groundbreaking study, researchers from Incheon National University present a new AIoT framework called MSF-Net for accurately recognizing human activities using WiFi signals. The framework utilizes a novel approach that combines different signal processing techniques and a deep learning architecture to overcome challenges like environmental interference and achieve high recognition accuracy.
