How much will temperature change in Europe? Study finds that it depends on the North Atlantic currents
A study titled “Future climate change shaped by inter-model differences in Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation response” led by researchers at Politecnico di Torino and the National Research Council of Italy compared 30 climate models, finding that the North Atlantic currents represent one of the major sources of uncertainty for predictions of climate change over Europe. Continued observational campaigns over the North Atlantic will help improve the predictions made by these models and reduce the uncertainties

For the first time in the world cardiologists in Turin exploit Artificial Intelligence to define post heart attack strategy
A study by the University Cardiology Department of the “Città della Salute” (Turin’s Health and Science Centre), carried out with researchers from UniTo and PoliTo, to create a new system for classifying the risk of future events in patients after a heart attack, has been published in the journal The Lancet. A technique that will bring about a veritable revolution and statistically reduce the possibility of an incorrect diagnosis. This result reinforces the choice of Turin as the headquarters of the Italian Institute for Artificial Intelligence
