A team of researchers in Australia has been awarded more than $403,000 in federal funding to merge human brain cells with artificial intelligence. Melbourne’s Monash University, which led the research into growing human brain cells on silicon chips, said in a release
A high-tech sailing drone was deployed onto the Atlantic Ocean near Charleston, South Carolina, this past weekend to collect weather data directly from wicked hurricanes. The autonomous ocean drone, known as a saildrone, was redeployed by California-based company Saildrone Inc., which designs
Department of Veterans Affairs researchers at five medical centers are working together to develop an artificial intelligence algorithm that can predict aggressive prostate cancer. The new research study began July 1, expanding to 14 sites. It will analyze data from more than
A new artificial intelligence (AI) tool could help African countries better track and predict crop rotations and yields, providing a key tool to help mitigate food crisis across the continent. “Relying on conventional analytic techniques alone will not deliver the effective decision-making
A triple-whammy of cyclones that led to devastating floods across northern Italy is not attributable to climate change, a study by World Weather Attribution found. The event’s rarity, however, is still viewed as cause for concern by researchers. “This is not the
Artificial intelligence is taking on an ever-widening role in the health and wellness space, assisting with everything from cancer detection to medical documentation. Soon, AI could make it easier for dentists to give patients a more natural, functional smile. Researchers from the
Sea urchins are dying off at an alarming rate in Israel’s Gulf of Eilat. The die-off of sea urchins first began in the eastern Mediterranean Sea and has now spread to the neighboring Red Sea. The Red Sea’s prized coral reefs may
A team of researchers from the University of Arizona and institutions across the country are using artificial intelligence to hopefully pinpoint the cause of Alzheimer’s disease and potential drug targets. Led by Dr. Rui Chang, an associate professor of neurology at the
British scientists have created infants using strands of DNA from three people, a technique that aims to reduce the risk of rare genetic diseases. “Mitochondrial donation treatment offers families with severe inherited mitochondrial illness the possibility of a healthy child,” the U.K.
International researchers have classified the death of a British man who was mauled by a shark off the Australian coast as a “provoked incident”. Simon Nellist, 35, an experienced diving instructor, became Sydney’s first victim in nearly 60 years when he was
