The choices that Bruce Gold faced last December to resolve debilitating symptoms from a severely enlarged prostate were to keep using a catheter or have an invasive surgery with unreliable results and a high risk of complications and lingering side effects.
In 2021, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center used artificial intelligence and deep machine learning to analyze 1.7 million raw images of patient-derived tumor samples, pinpointing a key distinction between skin cancer cells with high and low potential to metastasize – a discovery that could ultimately mean the difference between life or death for patients.
Dive into the world of advanced research and intellectual exchange as Professor Haroche shares his inspiring journey and groundbreaking contributions in the field of quantum physics and optics. From his early fascination with physics to his pioneering work in "Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics," Professor Haroche's expertise has paved the way for exciting possibilities in quantum information science.
Fluorescent hospital lights, a post-operative patient monitored by machines, and an anxious medical team waiting to sign off the successful procedure. But something’s missing and until it’s found no one can leave the room. Accounting for surgical items is a real-life scenario faced by medical teams every day, but right now it’s a part of a cleverly concocted escape room experience engineered by health experts at the University of South Australia.
A recent study by the University of South Australia has highlighted the significant benefits of humble leadership in the workplace.
A University of Washington team has developed an artificial intelligence system that lets someone wearing headphones look at a person speaking for three to five seconds to “enroll” them. The system then plays just the enrolled speaker’s voice in real time, even as the pair move around in noisy environments.
UC San Diego biologists have provided new insights on a longstanding puzzle in biology: How complex organisms arise from a single fertilized cell. Producing a new “gene atlas” with 4-D imaging, the researchers captured unprecedented insights on how embryonic development unfolds.
Binghamton University Anthropology Professor Carl Lipo and Associate Professor of Geography Thomas Pingel are using the same technology used to locate Maya ruins amid the jungles of Guatemala to recreate the scene of the 1944 Battle of Guam in intricate detail, potentially leading to the recovery of missing servicemen.
It’s visually striking. When fully grown, open wings display showy hind wings with bright red near the abdomen, black spots, and black-and-white bars. But the spotted lanternfly, an invasive insect that came to the United States from its native habitat of Southeast Asia in 2014, is destructive. Despite its name, though, the spotted lanternfly is not a fly.
A new paper in Physical Review Letters explores the effects of memory in quantum systems and ultimately offers a novel solution to decoherence, one of the primary problems facing quantum technologies.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently approved two new wound management products that include patented hydrogels invented by University of Delaware researchers. The unique UD hydrogel materials self-assemble to form a 3D matrix compatible with living cells.
When the Danish bulk carrier Nordic Orion set sail on Sept. 17, 2013, from Vancouver, British Columbia, on a journey to Finland, it set a course for a groundbreaking journey. Rather than turn south to pass through the Panama Canal, it headed north to traverse the Northwest Passage, a winding sea route through the archipelago off Canada’s north and east coasts.
Off the southeastern tip of Greenland in mid-June, Hayley DeHart, a genomics and marine scientist at APL, disembarked Lindblad Expedition’s National Geographic Endurance — a 407-foot (124-meter) ice-cutting cruise ship — and stepped into a small Zodiac inflatable motorboat.
In February 2016, 215 soldiers from the U.S. and Canadian militaries conducted a 10-day exercise called Arctic Ram. Their objective was to demonstrate they could rapidly respond to an emergency in the Arctic. In this case, they simulated retrieving a military satellite that crash-landed north of the small town of Resolute on Cornwallis Island in Nunavut, Canada.
Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a wearable ultrasound patch that can offer continuous, non-invasive monitoring of blood flow in the brain. The soft and stretchy patch can be comfortably worn on the temple to provide three-dimensional data on cerebral blood flow—a first in wearable technology.
Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, have established new, scalable methods of developing battery- and solar-powered fibers, making it theoretically possible for electrical energy to be harvested from, and stored in, the clothing people wear. These fibers could power high-performance wearable electronics that breathe, stretch and wash just like conventional textiles.
A new survey from The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center finds many Americans are ill-prepared to help in emergency situations. The national poll of 1,005 people found only 51% of Americans feel they would be able to perform hands-only CPR in an emergency. When it comes to serious bleeding, 49% said they could step in to help.
Another exciting milestone in the construction of Rubin Observatory has been achieved! On May 16th Rubin’s LSST Camera reached its forever home, the summit facility on Cerro Pachón.
University of South Australia computer scientist and AI expert Associate Professor Wolfgang Mayer demonstrates in this video how AI is getting closer to replicating voices and faces, and soon it will be very hard to tell the difference between deepfakes and reality.
