By holding back water, dams create reservoirs that can be used for drinking water, irrigation, hydroelectric power generation, flood control, and recreation. There are several types—such as gravity dams (which rely on their weight to resist water pressure), arch dams (curved, transferring force into the val

Rowan Cheung on Instagram: "Researchers at Hokkaido University developed ultra-strong underwater adhesives by combining insights from nature with artificial intelligence. The team analyzed over 24,000 adhesive proteins from marine organisms like mussels and barnacles, identifying common molecular patterns that enable wet adhesion. They synthesized 180 hydrogels based on these patterns, then used machine learning to optimize the formulations. After three AI-guided rounds of predictions and testin
