TSMC is aiming to begin mass production of Apple’s A-series chips for the iPhone as soon as this quarter at its Arizona plant.
Astrophysical bow shocks and other multiscale phenomena work like cosmic particle accelerators to launch electrons to near-light speeds.
New research by a team of Indiana University School of Medicine scientists and their collaborators has uncovered a novel vulnerability in prostate cancer animal models that starves prostate tumors of critical nutrients and stunts their growth, which could lead to the development of new treatments for the deadly disease.
Led by IU School of Medicine’s Kirk Staschke, Ph.D., assistant research professor of biochemistry and molecular biology, and Ronald C. Wek, Ph.D., Showalter Professor of Biochemistry, the study was recently published in Science Signaling.
Prostate cancer is a leading cause of cancer deaths in American men. Current treatments target the hormone testosterone, which prostate cancer cells need to grow. Unfortunately, prostate tumors frequently become resistant to these treatments, leaving doctors with few options to stop the disease.
By the end of 2024, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) had established themselves as the main transformative forces behind recent technological advancements in healthcare. A report by Silicon Valley Bank states that in 2024, the amount of VC investment in health AI in the U.S. was expected to reach $11.1 billion, the highest number since 2021.
In my experience, the main driver behind the AI investment and adoption craze is the measurable value technology offers healthcare providers. A 2023 National Bureau of Economic Research study indicates that integrating AI can save the U.S. healthcare system up to $360 billion annually. A 2023 survey by the AMA shows that physicians see AI as a way to reduce the administrative burden of documentation (54%) and improve workflow efficiency (69%).
But do these positive changes reflect on the quality of care, and do patients benefit from AI and ML-powered solutions? In this article, I share my take on the transformative potential of AI and ML in the modern care delivery process.
In 2022, staff from Hanoi University purchased a selection of ’supergiant’ isopods at a seaford market in Quy Nhơn City in Vietnam, intrigued by a burgeoning market for the deep sea crustaceans as a delicacy.
Among them was a species unknown to science at the time. National University of Singapore carcinologist Peter Ng and colleagues have now formally described the novel sea bug in a new paper.
As the head of the animal’s carapace resembles the iconic scifi helmet adorned by Star Wars’ infamous Darth Vader, Ng and team named the giant woodlice relative Bathynomus vaderi.
Multiagent Finetuning. Our self improvement approach constructs a multiagent set of language models over multiple rounds of finetuning. At each round of finetuning, models specialize to become generation and critic agents, and agents in each further specializing based off their generations in the previous round of finetuning.
General Motors crushed it in 2024, moving just over 114,000 electric Cadillacs, GMCs and Chevrolets. That’s thanks to a stable of heavy-hitters that it was finally able to mass-produce in 2024 following battery-assembly and software snafus.
The Chevy Blazer EV and Cadillac Lyriq racked up over 50,000 sales combined. The Chevy Equinox EV was GM’s real MVP. Americans snapped up 29,000 of them last year, including a whopping 18,000 in the fourth quarter alone. That’s what happens when you give people what they want: EVs that look great, go over 300 miles per charge and won’t break your budget.
A huge number of ultracold atoms have been corralled into a grid that could form the basis of the next largest quantum computer.
