Dead satellites are filling space with trash. That could affect Earth ’s magnetic field | Sierra Solter
Our ozone is pennies thick – and soonwe ’ll put at least an Eiffel Tower’s worth of metallic ashinto the ionosphere every yearA dead spacecraft the size of a truck ignites with plasma and pulverizes into dust and litter as it rips through the ionosphere and atmosphere. This is what happens to internet service satellites during re-entry. When the full mega-constellation of satellites is deployed in the 2030s, companies will do this every hour because satellite internet requires thousands of satellites to constantly be replaced. And it could compromise our atmosphere or even our magnetosphere.Space entrepreneurs are be...

Africa: Young, Black Woman Scientist Discovered Pivotal Leprosy Treatment in 1920s But Someone Took the Credit
[The Conversation Africa] Hansen's disease, also called leprosy, is treatable today - and that's partly thanks to a curious tree and the work of a pioneering young scientist in the 1920s. Centuries prior to her discovery, sufferers had no remedy for leprosy's debilitating symptoms or its social stigma. (Source: AllAfrica News: Health and Medicine)

Deep-learning model determines breast tumor staging
A deep-learning model based on mammographic images can determine tumor staging and sentinel lymph node metastasis in breast cancer patients, a study published April 15 in Informatics in Medicine Unlocked found. A team led by Elaheh Tarighati Sereshkeh from the Iran University of Medical Science in Tehran found that its convolutional neural network (CNN) model achieved high performance marks in these areas. “This method can be used as a potential non-invasive tool to determine tumor staging and sentinel lymph node metastasis in breast cancer in people suspected of having the complication and to avoid unnecessary surger...
