Medical Xpress / Simple dietary change may slow liver cancer in at-risk patients

People with compromised liver function may be able to reduce their risk of liver cancer or slow its progression with a simple dietary change: eating less protein. A Rutgers-led study in Science Advances has found that low-protein ...

Tech Xplore / Emoticons can confuse LLMs, causing 'silent failures' in coding responses

Large language models (LLMs), artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can process and generate texts in various languages, are now widely used by people worldwide. These models have proved to be effective in rapidly sourcing ...

Medical Xpress / Early signs of Parkinson's can be identified in the blood

A team led by researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has succeeded in identifying biomarkers for Parkinson's disease in its earliest stages, before extensive brain damage has occurred. The biological processes ...

Tech Xplore / Speeding the path to synthetic jet fuel with AI, automation and biosensors

When it comes to powering aircraft, jet engines need dense, energy-packed fuels. Right now, nearly all of that fuel comes from petroleum, as batteries don't yet deliver enough punch for most flights. Scientists have long ...
