Courtesy of Pano AIHigh-tech fire lookouts are now helping spot wildfires in Washington. This fire season, the state has cameras geared up with artificial intelligence. And so far, we’re told it’s working. -
NASA/ESA/CSAThanks to the James Webb telescope, we can now see the nebula with more clarity. As one expert says, "We always knew planetary nebulae were pretty. What we see now is spectacular."

Jevin West, co-founder of the University of Washington's Center for an Informed Public, talks about the ways generative AI — a form of artificial intelligence that can create new content — could accelerate misinformation and cause confusion. -
For over a century, four hydroelectric dams along the Oregon-California border have cut off habitat to fish swimming up the Klamath River from the ocean. Now, researchers are in the midst of a project to learn how fish will use this ecosystem once the dams are removed.

Northwest scientists are going to great distances – and great depths – hoping to help us understand our volcanic risk closer to home.

Researchers have mapped the more than 500,000 connections in the intricate brain of a fruit fly larva. This map, they say, could help scientists figure out how learning changes the human brain, too.

Everywhere they look, Pacific Northwest scientists find teeny-tiny plastic pollution. Broken down particles are in our water, falling out of the air, in salmon, shellfish and in our own bodies. Scientists, environmental advocates and Democratic lawmakers in Olympia and Salem have seen enough to make them seek more regulations.
