A paramedic moves a person to an ambulance in Spain during a 2022 heatwave that killed more than 300 people in five days. Credit: Angel Garcia/Bloomberg/Getty Extreme heat is killing hundreds of thousands of people every year — and the annual toll is growing. An estimated 210,000 more people died of heat-related causes each year

An AI fact-checking tool found errors in molecule boiling points listed in a chemistry reference database.Credit: Monty Rakusen/Getty For decades, chemists have relied on handbook values for a molecule’s boiling point to identify substances and plan processes such as distillation. But an artificial-intelligence model has revealed that some trusted numbers in one reference database have
