Tech Xplore / New federated learning algorithm enables private, robust, and fast AI development
Three heads are better than one. Versions of this proverb are found worldwide and throughout history. Yet in the race to achieve artificial general intelligence, engineers have centralized AI development and training to accelerate ...
Phys.org / Ancient rocks reveal how water reshaped Earth's interior 3.1 billion years ago
Geologists studying some of the planet's oldest volcanic rocks have uncovered new evidence that water was playing a major role in shaping Earth's interior and driving volcanic activity more than 3 billion years ago.
Phys.org / Natural born killers—tracking immune cells as they cluster around cancer
There is a constant war going on in your body. Working against you are viruses and cancer cells growing uncontrollably, threatening your tissues and organs. Fighting on your side are immune cells such as lymphocytes, a type ...
Medical Xpress / Mechanism linking chronic inflammation to reduced brain regeneration identified
A King's College London study, published in Nature Communications, offers insight into how long-term inflammation may contribute to cognitive decline in disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, aging, depression and the lingering ...
Tech Xplore / AI notetakers promise easy meeting recaps, but some professionals question their use
Launching an artificial intelligence tool to take notes and summarize important information from a virtual meeting can be alluring. Seconds after one of the agents attends an hour-long video conference, it can deliver a recap ...
Medical Xpress / Eight-patient Parkinson's stem cell clinical trial confirms feasibility
A landmark study led by Lund, Sweden, has shown that transplanting stem cell-derived dopamine progenitor cells into the brain is feasible. Eight patients were transplanted in the first clinical trial, and no serious side ...
Medical Xpress / Losing TDP-43 protein in microglia disrupts myelin, causing motor deficits in mice
Rosa Chiara Paolicelli's team at the Department of Biomedical Sciences of Unil uncovered a new role for the TDP-43 protein in controlling the function of microglia, the immune cells of the brain. Their study shows how the ...
Phys.org / Day-night ocean warming helps explain why El Niño outpaces La Niña in models
Researchers have long known that there is an asymmetry in the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the confluence of wind and water currents that creates warm El Niño events and cooler La Niña events. Large-scale climate ...
Tech Xplore / Automated 2D semiconductor screening could speed low-power AI chip development
The era of researchers manually searching for two-dimensional semiconductors, which are drawing attention as next-generation AI semiconductors, is coming to an end. KAIST researchers have automated semiconductor screening ...
Phys.org / Camera traps reveal Chornobyl wildlife changed routines during Russian occupation
An international research team has for the first time investigated how an unfolding armed conflict influenced the behavior of wild animals. Using camera traps, the scientists documented how the Russian occupation of the Chornobyl ...
Medical Xpress / AI unlocks previously invisible cortical lesions in MS using legacy MRI scans
One of the uncomfortable truths about multiple sclerosis is that the part of the brain likely to reveal the most about the disease and how a patient will be affected has been mostly invisible to clinicians.
Phys.org / Researchers develop low-cost AI tool to help cities map urban tree canopy
As a heat dome drives dangerous temperatures across much of the United States and renews concerns about extreme heat, USC researchers have developed a new, freely available AI tool that could help cities better understand ...
