Space-based remote sensing allows detection and monitoring of large, concentrated methane sources worldwide1. However, independent evaluation of instruments and algorithms is limited, and new satellites and artificial intelligence techniques have not been tested under controlled, single-blind conditions2. Here we conduct a year-long, single-blind test involving 746 events: 481 methane releases of 9.5–1,183.7 kg h−1 and 265 blank controls. We released metered methane quantities...

Decision-makers rely on weather forecasts to plant crops, manage wildfires, allocate water and energy and prepare for weather extremes1–3. Today, such forecasts enjoy unprecedented accuracy as far as 2 weeks thanks to steady advances in physics-based dynamical models and data-driven artificial intelligence models4–10. However, model skill drops precipitously at subseasonal timescales (2–6 weeks ahead) due to compounding errors, systemic model biases and the chaotic nature...

Adipose tissue has a central role in systemic energy balance and the pathogenesis of obesity and its sequelae1,2. In contrast to white adipose tissue, brown adipose tissue (BAT) uses energy to produce heat3. Detectable BAT in humans is associated with decreased prevalence of cardiometabolic diseases4. However, the complete spectrum of health conditions associated with BAT remains unknown, and high-throughput methods to quantify BAT activity in humans are lacking5,6. Here we leveraged big data and...
