AI Predicts Whisky Aromas and Origins with Over 90 Percent Accuracy
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging have successfully demonstrated how AI can identify the aromas and origins of whiskies with remarkable accuracy. By analysing the chemical compositions of 16 US and Scottish whiskies, the AI achieved over 90% accuracy in distinguishing between the two, surpassing human exp...

NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover Uncovers Distinct Red Rocks with Green Spots at 'Serpentine Rapids'
NASA's Mars Perseverance rover has unveiled intriguing findings at Serpentine Rapids, a location characterised by its striking red rocks interspersed with distinctive green spots. These features, observed in a nighttime mosaic captured by the rover's SHERLOC WATSON camera, may provide insights into Mars' geological history. The green spots are thou...

Traces of Indigenous Gas Found in Meteorite to Shed Light on Moon’s Origin
A recent study has suggested that the Moon may have inherited some noble gases, such as neon and helium, deep from the Earth's mantle. The discovery was made by analysing lunar meteorites found in Antarctica. Upon analysing the glass particles, the team found chemical fingerprints or isotopic signatures of the solar gases in them.

Salman Hit-And-Run: Mismatch in Quantity of Blood Samples, Says Lawyer
"It appears that what PW-18 (chemical analyser) has received is a completely different sample," the lawyer said. "The appellant (Salman) has been convicted with this kind of evidence," Mr Desai argued and alleged that this was 'an addition to the chain of discrepancies'

Salman Hit-And-Run: No Law to Take Blood Test in Accident Cases, Says Lawyer
Salman Khan's lawyer also questioned the chemical analyser's report on the ground that there were procedural lapses and said that it should not be admissible as evidence. The trial court had wrongly considered this report and the conviction on this count should be set aside, he argued
