Article Synopsis
- Energy production is essential for human activities but is a major contributor to global warming, making sustainable energy vital for meeting UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG7.
- Machine learning (ML) has the potential to significantly enhance sustainable energy practices through applications in energy production, storage, and forecasting, while also addressing planning activities to support SDG achievement.
- Despite challenges like high energy consumption and the risk of increasing inequalities, ML can still make important contributions by improving data monitoring, planning global efforts, and advancing more sustainable energy technologies.
Biochar has a wide range of applications, including environmental management, such as preventing soil and water pollution, removing heavy metals from water sources, and reducing air pollution. However, there are several challenges associated with the usage of biochar for these purposes, resulting in an abundance of experimental data in the literature. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to examine the use of machine learning in biochar processes with an eye toward the potential of biochar in environmental remediation.

- Photoelectrochemical water splitting and CO reduction are promising methods for generating solar fuels and lowering CO emissions, with a focus on metal halide perovskites (MHPs) due to their favorable properties.
- This review highlights recent advancements in MHPs, covering their properties, synthesis, applications, and improvements in performance while addressing toxicity concerns related to elements like Pb.
- The authors discuss three main strategies for enhancing stability against water, including compositional tweaks, 2D/3D structures, and protective techniques, while also suggesting that machine learning could help optimize future formulations of halide perovskites.
The discovery of new strategies and novel therapeutic agents is crucial to improving the current treatment methods and increasing the efficacy of cancer therapy. Phytochemicals, naturally occurring bioactive constituents derived from plants, have great potential in preventing and treating various diseases, including cancer. This study reviewed 74 literature studies published between 2006 and 2022 that conducted cytotoxicity and cell apoptosis analyses of the different concentrations of phytochemicals and their combinations with conventional drugs or supplementary phytochemicals on human pancreatic cell lines.
