Tech Xplore / Solving the 'Whac-a-mole dilemma': A smarter way to debias AI vision models
In today's hospitals and clinics, a dermatologist may use an artificial intelligence model for classifying skin lesions to assess if the lesion is at risk of developing into a cancer or if it is benign. But if the model is ...
Phys.org / How rocks trap CO₂ faster: Water-driven pathway could speed long-term carbon storage
Rocks can bind carbon dioxide—and much faster than previously thought. For a long time, it was assumed that the transformation of CO2 into carbonate rock depends on very slow, time-consuming processes. According to that view, ...
Medical Xpress / Epilepsy 'brain blips' can be predicted a full second early with neuron-level probes
Epilepsy is best known for seizures, but many people with the condition also experience much more frequent and subtler disruptions. These brief bursts of abnormal brain activity, called interictal epileptiform discharges ...
Science X / What are dark galaxies? Astronomers expose 70 hidden candidates with no visible stars
Galaxies are not always teeming with vibrant, hot young stars. Sometimes, they are rich in gas and dark matter but have very few or no stars, making them extremely difficult to detect. They are called "dark galaxies" and ...
