How is a corner kick taken? Artificial intelligence also gives tips in football
Google Deepmind and Liverpool FC collaborated to develop TacticAI, a system that predicts the outcomes of corner kicks in football, including the receiver of the cross and the likelihood of a shot on goal. The technology shows promise in training scenarios, enhancing the execution of set pieces.
The enthusiasm for psychedelic substances is not parallel to what we know about them
The National Council of Ethics for Life Sciences (CNECV) has recommended establishing rules for the clinical use of psychedelic substances such as ayahuasca, MDMA, ketamine, and psilocybin, which are increasingly being studied for their therapeutic efficacy. Albino Maia, director of the Neuropsychiatry Unit at the Champalimaud Foundation, emphasizes the need for a regulatory framework for the application of psychedelics outside scientific research. The CNECV suggests additional rules are necessary due to the unique effects of these substances on consciousness and their growing social interest. The article discusses the importance of ensuring scientific evidence quality, equitable access, and proper public information while regulating the use of psychedelics.
Scientists gave an old mouse a young immune system, turning back time
Irving Weissman from Stanford University successfully rejuvenated the immune system of older mice, enabling them to respond effectively to new infections, a capability typically seen in younger mice. While the application to humans is still distant, this scientific achievement marks another step forward in the fight against aging.
What are the six countries where fertility will continue to be high in 2100?
Fertility rates have been low for decades, especially in wealthier countries, preventing generational replacement, which requires a ratio of 2.1 children per woman. However, this decline is not entirely negative, as it necessitates a focus on healthy aging, increased productivity, and sustainability. A recent study published in The Lancet indicates that six countries—Chad, Niger, Samoa, Somalia, Tajikistan, and Tonga—will maintain fertility rates above the 2.1 children per woman threshold by 2100.
Academic career has become a 'game' of precariousness in several countries
Portuguese research highlights that job insecurity and a 'performance culture' have become the norm for professors and scientists, not just in Portugal but across two dozen countries. The study indicates that fixed-term contracts, increased workloads, and the pressure to publish more scientific articles annually have made academic careers more vulnerable, unpredictable, and individualized.
Communication confirmed: the Aeros satellite is alive and in contact with Earth
Two weeks after its launch, the Portuguese satellite Aeros has successfully established communication with Earth. The satellite, now orbiting at an altitude of 510 kilometers, is set to observe the Atlantic Ocean for the next three years using its hyperspectral camera and communication system. The project, led by Thales Edisoft and Ceiia, received international support from MIT and involved several Portuguese entities. The data collected will be made available to research centers for further study.
Measles is no longer a thing of the past: it has returned and eradication is increasingly a mirage
Measles, once thought to be a disease of the past, has resurged in Europe and Portugal, drawing attention and concern. The disease was eliminated in Portugal in 2016 but has made a comeback in 2024. The resurgence is attributed to a decline in vaccination rates and a lack of investment in poor countries, leading to new outbreaks.
There is a new body to advise the strategy of the Portuguese Space Agency
The Portuguese Space Agency has introduced the Council of Guidance and Strategy, a new advisory body aimed at shaping the agency's strategic direction. The council includes notable figures such as Teresa Lago, Filipe Arnaut Moreira, and Ana Santos Pinto, among others. The agency, led by Ricardo Conde, has seen significant growth, including the launch of a Portuguese satellite and increased contributions to the European Space Agency. Future plans include launching 30 satellites by 2026 and developing infrastructure in the Azores.
First treatment for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease approved in the United States
The United States has approved Rezdiffra, the first treatment for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, recommended for patients with advanced stages of the disease. Available from April, the drug is developed by Madrigal Pharmaceuticals and has shown efficacy in clinical trials, improving liver fibrosis and symptoms. The approval marks a significant milestone after over 15 years of research. The disease, characterized by excess liver fat in non-alcohol drinkers, affects 25% of the global population and has a high incidence in Portugal. The drug's approval in Europe is anticipated next.
Measles in Lisbon. More cases may arise, but 'outbreak will always be self-limiting'
A 20-month-old unvaccinated child from the United Kingdom was hospitalized in Lisbon with measles. The child is stable and expected to be discharged soon, with no signs of having infected others. While more cases may arise due to delayed diagnosis, any outbreak in Portugal is expected to be self-limiting, according to pediatric health specialist Mário André Macedo.
