Scientists from the University of Sussex are trying to mimic the intricate wriggles of a baby. Their experiment, at the Royal Society Summer Exhibition in London, aims to showcase just how complex baby movements are.

More than 50 locations around the world are leaking significant amounts of methane, according to NASA scientists using a technique created to examine how dust impacts climate. This discovery could aid in the fight against the powerful greenhouse gas.&nbsp;

In a press release on Tuesday, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said "reining in methane emissions is key to limiting global warming."&nbsp;

Researchers will be able to better identify where methane leaks are originating from thanks to this exciting new finding, which will also assist them to understand how to promptly address them.&nbsp;

According to NASA, the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT) is intended to advance knowledge of how airborne dust affects climate.

However, EMIT, which can focus on areas as tiny as a soccer field and was placed on the International Space Station in July, has also demonstrated the capacity to identify the presence of methane.&nbsp;

Currently known methane "super-emitters" have been found in Central Asia, the Middle East, and the southwestern United States, according to NASA. The majority of them are involved in the garbage, agriculture, or fossil fuel industries.&nbsp;

Roughly 30% of the current global temperature rise is attributable to methane.

On a century-long time frame, it is around 28 times more potent than a greenhouse gas, although being far less prevalent in the environment than CO2. It had an 80-fold increase in power over 20 years.&nbsp;

Unlike CO2, which can stay in the atmosphere for hundreds or even thousands of years, methane lasts about ten years.&nbsp;

According to the UN Environment Programme, this indicates that a significant reduction in emissions could reduce projected global warming by several tenths of a degree Celsius by the middle of the century, preserving the Paris Agreement goal of limiting the Earth's average temperature increase to 1.5C. (UNEP).

NASA's new methane detection tool will help detect 'super-emitters' from space

Italy's Neosperience has developed a way to detect Covid-19 infections by analysing a person's speech or cough, the software company said, sending its shares up more than 13% on Tuesday.&nbsp;

Neosperience President Dario Melpignano said the system, which detects sounds characteristic of the respiratory disease, was more than 80% accurate.&nbsp;

The project was developed with partners and by using artificial intelligence embedded in a cloud platform called Neosperience Health Cloud, which has already been used to analyse chest X-rays, the company said in a statement.&nbsp;

Neosperience's shares, listed on the Aim section of the Milan Bourse, were automatically suspended after rising 13.5% to 6.50 euros per share.&nbsp;

"It's just the beginning of a project that has incredible potential because the processing of this sort of data can be effectively used as a screening test," said Alessandro Nizardo Chailly, the chief executive of Neosperience's partner Capsula.&nbsp;

The recording and analysis model could help to detect and diagnose a wide range of pathogens, added Capsula's scientific adviser Giuseppe Andreoni.&nbsp;

Italy's software company finds way to detect Covid-19 from sound 

Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Saturday said the Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) needs to fulfil a twin challenge of robust detection to avoid tax evasion as well as facilitation of trade.

&quot;The customs department has an important twin role to play. You have to have detection machinery in place so as to ensure that tax evasion does not take place, and at the same time be a trade facilitator which makes entry into borders easy,&quot; Jaitley said while speaking at the Investiture Ceremony and International Customs Day 2018 here.

He further noted that there has been a rationalisation of both domestic and international customs tariffs, along with an increase in the availability of many goods within India itself, through the &#39;Make in India&#39; initiative.

&quot;The nature and role of the customs department has changed in the recent times. While sharp detection remains a necessity, facilitation of trade is also important. The more you facilitate trade, there will be further scope for cost-cutting,&quot; he added.

Shedding light on the changing economy in the recent past, Jaitley said that the introduction of technological advancements has made a huge impact on revenue department, and has changed the nature of taxation and expansion of the income tax base.

He further urged greater attention to improving India&#39;s global ranking by focusing on greater efficiency.

&quot;There are three main areas of focus to improve our global ranking. While cross-border trade remains a key area, the other two are regarding municipal permissions of land and buildings and contract enforcement. If we hit the bull&#39;s eye on these, we can significantly improve our ranking and move closer to the Prime Minister&#39;s vision of being in the top 50. We are working with the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) to improve efficiency in these segments,&quot; he said.

On the occasion, Jaitley also launched two IT tools- ICETAB and ICETRAK- for effective communication between trade and the Department of Customs and Central Excise.&nbsp;
