US-based firm Avalo created an artificial intelligence model that can help create climate-resilient crops. It identifies genes scientists could use to produce fruits and vegetables that resist drought, flooding, heat, and insects. As a result, it could improve global food security significantly quicker than traditional crop improvements. You may not like genetically modified crops, but we've been selectively breeding them for years. Our fruits and vegetables are the result of thousands of years of farmers growing options that provide the best yields.

Kim Petras fans, the wait is over — the Grammy-winning pop star has surprise released her previously shelved and partially leaked debut album, 'Problematique.' The album dropped Monday. Petras tells The Associated Press she was heartbroken when the music was partially leaked and eventually scrapped, but she wanted to include some of the songs on her upcoming world tour. Once she decided that, she says she realized the songs should get an official release. The 10-track 'Problematique' includes the songs the funk-y 'Born Again,' to the smooth retro-pop of 'Dirty Things' and the playfully materialistic 'All She Wants,' featuring Paris Hilton.
