2024 will be the hottest year on Earth as global warming trends continue
Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain The Earth experienced its warmest year on record in 2024, according to data from the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service, a European-led environmental monitoring program. The service said last year it exceeded the limit of 1.5°C (2.7°F) above the pre-industrial average set by the 2015 Paris Agreement, an international agreement aimed at reducing and reducing…

Future trends: AI models tackle complex particle drag coefficients
Flowchart of this work: (A) Discrete Element Method (DEM) – Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) and (B) Machine Learning. Credit: International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics (2024). DOI: 10.1002/msd2.12124 Accurately modeling the movement of particles in fluids is critical in fields ranging from chemical engineering to aerospace. Drag coefficients, which affect how particles settle and move within a fluid environment, are…
