The new AI model, called the Earth System Foundation Model, has learned the fundamental relationships between the atmosphere, the land surface and the water cycle. 

The AI model can fill in missing data and flexibly handle a wide range of data types and research questions in weather and environmental science. 

By understanding how air, land and water interact, it helps improve insight into extreme weather events such as storms or droughts. 

CHANGWON, South Korea — Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS), led by President Chul-jin Choi, announced that a research team led by Hee-jung Lee, senior researcher at KIMS, in collaboration with Professor Sunghwan Park of Kyungpook National University and Professor Mingyu Kim of Yeungnam University, has developed a technology that enhances CO₂ adsorption performance in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) by up to 75% through precise laser-based control of their internal structure.

SUTD researchers used mobile phone GPS traces, street view imagery, and open-source spatial data to show that pedestrian route choices in a rapidly developing city are shaped far more by street conditions and context than by distance alone.

A new artificial intelligence framework developed at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering aims to alert water managers to E. coli contamination risk before anyone falls sick.
