AI could revolutionize cancer detection, according to MIT, Mass General research

I disagree with you Dan Breeden. In my openion AI WILL A BETTER FUTURE FOR HUMAN CIVILIZATION.

Doctors and engineers from Massachusetts General Hospital and MIT are trying to revolutionize cancer detection through an artificial intelligence program called Sybil. Their study found that Sybil could accurately predict whether a person will develop lung cancer in the next year up to 94 percent of the time. NBC News’ Dr. John Torres reports.

Brain aging research: A need for balance

“Testing people early, so early interventions are possible, is key to longevity,” she says. “Technology, data and AI, and what we’re starting to be able to do with it, are propelling us to a time of greater understanding which will foster earlier, more effective treatment. Or perhaps even therapies that can delay neurodegenerative diseases, pushing back dementia to beyond our lifespan.”

Mind Over Matter goes out on 29th and 30th June on BBC News and 30th June on BBC One.

Lara Lewington will be hosting a Fireside Chat on AI drug discovery with Alex Zhavoronkov at next week’s Founders Longevity Forum. Register your interest to discover how AI is accelerating drug discovery, commercialization and licensing models HERE.

Introducing Generative Physical AI

@NVIDIAOmniverse is a development platform for virtual world simulation, combining real-time physically based rendering, physics simulation, and generative AI technologies.

In Omniverse, robots can learn to be robots – minimizing the sim-to-real gap, and maximizing the transfer of learned behavior.

Building robots with generative physical AI requires three computers:

- NVIDIA AI supercomputers to train the models.
- NVIDIA Jetson Orin, and next generation Jetson Thor robotics supercomputer, to run the models.
- And NVIDIA Omniverse, where robots can learn and refine their skills in simulated worlds.

Scientists spot 60 stars appearing to show signs of alien power plants

I don’t know if this true but it definitely could be as most civilizations are probably more advanced than the earth.

A survey of five million distant solar systems, aided by ‘neural network’ algorithms, has discovered 60 stars that appear to be surrounded by giant alien power plants.

Seven of the stars — so-called M-dwarf stars that range between 60 percent and 8 percent the size of our sun — were recorded giving off unexpectedly high infrared ‘heat signatures,’ according to the astronomers.

Natural, and better understood, outer space ‘phenomena,’ as they report in their new study, ‘cannot easily account for the observed infrared excess emission.’

21 New Laser Materials Uncovered in Groundbreaking Global Study

Utilizing distributed self-driving lab technology, the University of Toronto’s Acceleration Consortium rapidly identified 21 high-performing organic solid-state lasers (OSL) materials, marking a significant advance in molecular optoelectronics and paving the way for future materials discovery.

Organic solid-state lasers (OSLs) offer significant potential for various applications thanks to their flexibility, color adjustability, and high efficiency. Nevertheless, they are challenging to produce. With the need for potentially over 150,000 experiments to identify viable new materials, fully exploring this space could take many lifetimes. In fact, in the previous few decades, only 10–20 new OSL materials have been tested.

Researchers with the Acceleration Consortium based at the University of Toronto, took up this challenge and used self-driving lab (SDL) technology that, once set up, enabled them to synthesize and test over 1,000 potential OSL materials and discover at least 21 top performing OSL gain candidates in a matter of months.
