Snow or rain? hybrid AI deciphers surface precipitation phase from satellite observations

Distinguishing surface rain from snow in real time is crucial for winter storm warnings. This study presents “RePPIC-Net”, a hybrid AI model that fuses satellite data with AI weather forecasts to decipher snow from rain with rapid speed and accuracy, paving the way for improved global hazard alerts.

A westward shift of heatwave hotspots caused by warming-enhanced land–air coupling

Heatwaves are expected to become more frequent with warming, but how their spatial patterns change is not well understood. Here the authors show that heatwave hotspots in the Northern Hemisphere have shifted westwards over the past few decades.

Voltage-controlled magnetoelectric devices for neuromorphic diffusion process

Diffusion models have shown promise in content generation, however, like many forms of generative AI, this comes with high computation cost, exacerbated by standard von Neuman computing architectures. Here, Cheng et al present a magnetoelectric memory for in-memory computing and demonstrate diffusion-based image generation on an 80×80 array.

Tumour-derived Interleukin 35 promotes pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cell extravasation and metastasis by inducing ICAM1 expression

Interleukin-35 (IL-35) is an immune suppressive cytokine produced by T-cells. Here, the authors show that IL-35 is overexpressed by human pancreatic cancer cells and show, in a mouse model, that IL-35 promotes metastasis in an autocrine/paracrine manner via induction of ICAM-1 expression.
