Cities across north-eastern Canada and the US are suffering from intense smoke brought on by wildfires burning across Ontario and Minnesota. Residents in New York, Boston and Toronto have been encouraged to avoid strenuous activity over potential health impacts caused by the pollution. Canada wildfires leave train'encased in flames' as smoke drifts towards US Where are the wildfires and how did they start? There are currently 858 wildfires actively burning across Canada - nearly 200 of those in Ontario - according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre.

The detail everyone missed in this photo of Kate and William... and what it reveals about state of their relationship. The US Geological Survey detected a magnitude 3.3 quake at 9.20am ET Thursday morning right along the Yellowstone River inside the Wyoming park. The minor quake's epicenter was recorded just seven miles from the Yellowstone caldera, the bowl-shaped volcanic depression within the famous national park. Last year, scientists discovered tens of thousands of previously unrecorded earthquakes which could be hinting that Yellowstone's supervolcano is building up to an eruption. An international research team used AI to listen to 15 years of Yellowstone recordings and discovered 86,000 tiny earthquakes that human experts had missed.

Scientists at Northwestern University have designed a drone that spins so fast it disappears before your eyes. Called the'Phantom Twist', the drone spins up to 25 times every second, which is too fast for the human eye to see. While it isn't completely invisible, the drone is about 10 times less visible than a conventional quadcopter. Its developers describe its appearance as a'ghostly smudge', claiming it blends'seamlessly into the background'.

Using archaeological evidence, historical records and cutting-edge 3D technology, experts have created the first scientifically accurate reconstruction of Nassau during the Golden Age of Piracy. The digital model strips away centuries of Hollywood myth to reveal what the notorious pirate stronghold actually looked like in the early 1700s. Far from a bustling colonial city lined with grand stone buildings, Nassau was little more than a ramshackle settlement of wooden huts, pirate camps and crumbling ruins. The reconstruction also revives some of history's most infamous buccaneers, including Blackbeard, Anne Bonny, Calico Jack Rackham and Benjamin Hornigold, using AI based on historical engravings and contemporary descriptions. The recreations will feature in the finale of Wreckwatch TV's series about the real pirates of the Caribbean, Mystery of the Pirate King's Treasure.

A new study has warned that Saharan dust has driven up pollution in the UK by 50 per cent over the last decade. Scientists from the Paul Scherrer Institute used AI to analyse the desert dust in the air over Europe. The results showed that dust concentrations have increased consistently across much of the continent between 2012 and 2021. Here in the UK, concentrations increased by at least 50 per cent over this time period. This dust travels to the UK all the way from the Sahara, and can have wide-reaching consequences.

I'm sick of "opt-out" toggles for automatically enabled generative AI features. It's past time to make "opt in" the default setting for sensitive features. In early July, Meta rolled out a new feature where anyone using its AI app could tag public Instagram accounts and generate images using their likenesses. Meta's decision to turn the feature on by default, so that Instagram users had to actively opt out, was controversial. Multiple Instagram creators posted viral videos explaining how to opt out and expressed frustration.
