Why the EU’s biometric border-check system has failed to launch

For years, the EU has had a grand plan to try and keep track of those passing in and out of its trading bloc of 27 countries. It would introduce a biometric border-check system that would log fingerprints and photographs, similar to what’s in place at the U.S. border.

The system was first meant to be introduced in 2022. Then May 2023. Then the end of that year. A new date of October 6, 2024, was set, but that’s

Farmers could use AI to keep pigs happy, researchers say

European scientists have developed an artificial intelligence algorithm capable of interpreting pig sounds, aiming to create a tool that can help farmers improve animal welfare.

Pesticidy činí půdu atraktivnější

Že látky určené k ochraně rostlin a hubení živočišných škůdců hmyzu neprospívají, je přece každému jasné. Jak si ale vysvětlit nynější poznatek, že královny čmeláků dávají přednost půdě kontaminované? A že jim je doslova šuma fuk o jaký pesticid jde, hlavně že je jejich vybrané místo k hybernaci jedovaté.
