An AI tool called Mia found missed breast cancer symptoms in the scans of 11 women during an NHS test.
Solar eruptions are sending a stream of particles towards Earth, creating spectacular auroras in both hemispheres.
The aurora borealis – in the northern hemisphere – will be potentially visible on Monday night in the US as far south as the midwest. The northern lights, more commonly seen within the Arctic Circle, could also be visible in Scotland.
Odysseus, which was built by Houston-based company Intuitive Machines, powered down one week after landing as lunar night began for 14 days. Flight controllers ordered the spacecraft to snooze for three weeks, while the moon’s south pole faced away from the sun, but they hoped Odie would reawaken once sunlight hit its solar panels again.
“Intuitive Machines started listening for Odie’s wake-up signal on March 20, when we projected enough sunlight would potentially charge the lander’s power system and turn on its radio,” representatives of the company wrote on X, formerly called Twitter.
With no biology expertise, GPT-4 performs as good or better than human experts for single-cell RNA-seq cell annotation.
This study evaluates the performance of GPT-4 in single-cell type annotation.
“For the first time we have shown that even a tiny fraction of cellular material could be identified by a mass spectrometer onboard a spacecraft,” said Dr. Fabian Klenner.
How will we find life on Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa, and Saturn’s icy moon, Enceladus? This is what a recent study published in Science Advances hopes to address as a team of international researchers investigate how ice grains that are discharged from the active plumes of these small moons could possess enough organic material for life to exist. This study holds the potential to help astrobiologists develop the necessary instruments and methods to find life on these small moons, specifically with NASA’s Europa Clipper scheduled to launch this October, whose goal will be to investigate Europa’s habitability potential.

For the study, the researchers conducted laboratory experiments to simulate how future instruments could fly through the plumes to safely detect bacterial cells, even within one ice grain. The goal was to ascertain if one ice grain was sufficient in detecting bacterial cells as opposed to collecting bulk samples of ice grains. The researchers chose to investigate Sphingopyxis alaskensis, which is a known bacterium that resides off the coast of Alaska, due to its small size and ability to survive in cold environments with little nutrients. In the end, the researchers found they could detect this simple bacterium in a single ice grain using current instruments, including an advanced version of the SUrface Dust Analyzer onboard Europa Clipper.

Welcome back to Coding with Qiskit! Join research scientist Dr. Derek Wang as he walks you through the exciting capabilities of Qiskit 1 for utility scale quantum computing.
He’ll show you how to install Qiskit version 1 from scratch and how to run quantum circuits–both unitary and dynamic, all based on some of the latest research papers by IBM Quantum–on devices with over 100 qubits using the latest error suppression and mitigation techniques. He’ll also be learning how to contribute to the Qiskit ecosystem with the help of open-source extraordinaire Abby Mitchell.
