— The world’s largest six-lane wildlife crossing is being constructed across California’s Highway 101 in Los Angeles County, to enable local wildlife to access their natural habitat. The crossing is expected to become a global model for urban wildlife conservation, says Interesting Engineering.

— Artificial intelligence is helping to develop more resilient crops. It typically takes 15 years to develop a new crop, but AI-aided breeding can complete the same task within three years at an 80 percent lower cost, according to The Economic Times.
