AI detects more breast cancers with fewer false positives
Using artificial intelligence (AI), breast radiologists in Denmark have improved breast cancer screening performance and reduced the rate of false-positive findings.
Scientists develop novel antibody treatment for kidney cancer
Scientists have built upon BTE technology to develop new and improved recombinant and synthetic DNA versions of therapeutic antibodies that target CA9, called Persistent Multivalent T Cell Engager (CA9-PMTE), that shows promise in pre-clinical models a…
Generative AI: A New Consumer Operating System
The history of computing is defined by improving the productivity of individuals and enterprises. The transition from command-line interfaces (CLIs) in the 1970s to graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in the 1980s enabled the abstraction of complex syntax…
Sunshine spurs spending: Investors bet big on sunny days
New research has found a connection between pleasant weather conditions and higher investment in lottery-like stocks.
Frequent mowing puts poisonous weed into survival mode
A study has found that frequent mowing of Solanum elaeagnifolium, also known as silverleaf nightshade, may help create a ‘superweed.’ A professor of entomology and plant pathology has been studying silverleaf nightshade for more than a decade. New find…
Airplane noise exposure may increase risk of chronic disease
A new study indicates that airplane noise may increase one’s risk of developing cardiometabolic diseases, a cluster of conditions such as heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and hypertension. The study found that people who were exposed to airplane noise l…
A technique for more effective multipurpose robots
MIT researchers developed a technique to combine robotics training data across domains, modalities, and tasks using generative AI models. They create a combined strategy from several different datasets that enables a robot to learn to perform new tasks…
Researchers call for strengthening sustainability regulations in laws governing space exploration
Researchers call for strengthening existing planetary protection policies beyond the space surrounding Earth to include requirements for preserving the Lunar and Martian environments.
