Artificial intelligence (AI) discovered more than 50 exoplanets. In the future, it is expected that machines will play a big role in helping humans in space exploration in the astronomy world. Fox News reported on the 1st (local time) that researchers at the University of Warwick in the UK have discovered 50 additional exoplanets by applying AI technology based on old data from NASA. The results of this study were published in a monthly report published by the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS). The researchers developed the algorithm data from NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, which stopped working in 2018.

A group of researchers from the University of the West of England have invented a method of charging mobile phones using urine. Key to the breakthrough is the creation of a new microbial fuel cell (MFC) that turns organic matter – in the case, urine – into electricity. The MFCs are full of specially-grown bacteria that break down the chemicals in urine as part of their normal metabolic process. The bacteria produce electrons as they consume the matter and it this natural process that creates a small electrical charge to be stored in the MFC. "No one has harnessed power from urine to do this so it's an exciting discovery," said Dr Ioannis Ieropoulos, an engineer at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory where the fuel cells were developed.
