Advanced AI tool estimates biological age and predicts cancer survival from face photos

Researchers are using AI tools to analyze simple facial photographs to determine key indicators of a person’s health. Mass General Brigham researchers built FAHR-Face (Foundation Artificial Intelligence for Health Recognition), a large AI foundation model trained on over 40 million face images.

Rutgers And IBM Demonstrate Real-Time Control Across 100 Qubits

PRESS RELEASE — Researchers from Rutgers, IBM and collaborating institutions have shown that a quantum computer can check what is happening inside it and respond while it is running, repeatedly resetting parts of the system to bring chaotic behavior under control.

The advance is a critical step toward building larger, more reliable quantum computers.

Today’s quantum computers operate according to the unusual rules governing atoms and other extremely small particles. They could one day solve problems beyond the reach of conventional computers — designing better batteries and cleaner industrial catalysts, simulating molecules and materials too complex for today’s computers, and running certain artificial intelligence programs.

A powerful framework for analysing solid materials

To analyse that compound theoretically, Kusunose applied the concept of multipoles, which are useful for describing arrangements of electric charge or magnetic poles in space. The simplest multipole is a monopole; a single electric charge, such as a proton or an electron, is an example of a monopole. A dipole describes two equal but opposite charges; the north and south poles of a magnet are an example of a dipole, where the electric charge is replaced with a magnetic charge. Going up the multipole hierarchy adds increasing complexity. Any arrangement of electric charges or magnetic poles can be approximated by using a certain combination of multipoles — known as a multipole expansion.

Kusunose then embarked on an ambitious project to develop a truly comprehensive analysis framework of solids based on multipoles. That required quantum-mechanical expressions of four types of multipoles: electric multipoles, magnetic multipoles, and their vortex-like pattern, or toroidal, equivalents.
