Published Researchers develop deep learning model to predict breast cancer
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have developed a new, interpretable artificial intelligence (AI) model to predict 5-year breast cancer risk from mammograms, according to a new study.
Published Harnessing hydrogen at life's origin
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A new report uncovers how hydrogen gas, the energy of the future, provided energy in the past, at the origin of life 4 billion years ago. Hydrogen gas is clean fuel. It burns with oxygen in the air to provide energy with no CO2. Hydrogen is a key to sustainable energy for the future. Though humans are just now coming to realize the benefits of hydrogen gas (H2 in chemical shorthand), microbes have known that H2 is good fuel for as long as there has been life on Earth. Hydrogen is ancient energy.
Published Where quantum computers can score
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source The traveling salesman problem is considered a prime example of a combinatorial optimization problem. Now a team has shown that a certain class of such problems can actually be solved better and much faster with quantum computers than with conventional methods.
Published An innovative mixed light field technique for immersive projection mapping
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A novel mixed light field technique that utilizes a mix of ray-controlled ambient lighting with projection mapping (PM) to obtain PM in bright surroundings has been developed by scientists. This innovative technology utilizes a novel kaleidoscope array to achieve ray-controlled lighting and a binary search algorithm for removing ambient lighting from PM targets. It provides an immersive augmented reality experience with applications in various fields.
Published Reimagining the future of solar energy
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source New research suggests that there might be other ways to generate solar energy than just trying to make individual solar cells super-efficient.
Published New study shows analog computing can solve complex equations and use far less energy
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A team of engineers has proven that their analog computing device, called a memristor, can complete complex, scientific computing tasks while bypassing the limitations of digital computing.
Published Information overload is a personal and societal danger
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source We are all aware of the dangers of pollution to our air, water, and earth. In a recently published letter, scientists are advocating for the recognition and mitigation of another type of environmental pollution that poses equivalent personal and societal dangers: information overload.
Published Perovskite solar cells: Vacuum process may offer a short track to commercialization
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Which process is best suited for mass production of perovskite solar cells? While solvent-based manufacturing processes are used in laboratories around the world, vacuum vapor-phase deposition processes are still the standard for the production of thin films for photovoltaics or organic light-emitting diodes. A new study that reveals major differences in the scientific discussion of these production processes.
Published New AI technology enables 3D capture and editing of real-life objects
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Imagine performing a sweep around an object with your smartphone and getting a realistic, fully editable 3D model that you can view from any angle -- this is fast becoming reality, thanks to advances in AI. Researchers have unveiled new AI technology for doing exactly this. Soon, rather than merely taking 2D photos, everyday consumers will be able to take 3D captures of real-life objects and edit their shapes and appearance as they wish, just as easily as they would with regular 2D photos today.
Published 'Find pearls in the soil' unveiling the magic of hydrogen production from municipal sewage
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Scientists have developed a catalyst for the urea oxidation reaction, enhancing hydrogen generation efficiency.
Published Artificial intelligence detects heart defects in newborns
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have developed an algorithm that provides an automatic and reliable method of detecting a certain heart defect in newborns.
Published Straightening teeth? AI can help
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A new tool will help orthodontists correctly fit braces onto teeth. Using artificial intelligence and virtual patients, the tool predicts how teeth will move, so as to ensure that braces are neither too loose nor too tight.
Published Staying in the loop: How superconductors are helping computers 'remember'
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source To advance neuromorphic computing, some researchers are looking at analog improvements -- advancing not just software, but hardware too. Research shows a promising new way to store and transmit information using disordered superconducting loops.
Published New high-performance solar cell material
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A new study reports the discovery of an entirely new stable, earth-abundant, high-performance material for solar absorbers -- the central part of a solar cell that turns light into electricity. While identifying new solar materials is typically very time-consuming, the researchers used a unique high-throughput computational screening method to quickly evaluate around 40,000 candidate materials.
Published How do neural networks learn? A mathematical formula explains how they detect relevant patterns
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Neural networks have been powering breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, including the large language models that are now being used in a wide range of applications, from finance, to human resources to healthcare. But these networks remain a black box whose inner workings engineers and scientists struggle to understand. Now, a team has given neural networks the equivalent of an X-ray to uncover how they actually learn.
