How human-robot collaboration will affect the manufacturing industry — https://bit.ly/3S7Skfa
By Nitin Rawat, Manufacturing Head, Addverb
Robotics are employed to boost production and efficiency in the manufacturing sector, and they are capable of working in any hazardous setting. Robotic arms are also employed to perform effective work in the industries. It has been years since the introduction of collaborative robots in the manufacturing industry, and they have now been applied in several applications at manufacturing facilities. Robots these days are exceptionally programmable and controllable, allowing them to perform complex tasks using AI and automation.

Large Head in Asymptomatic Child: A Subtle Presentation of Connective Tissue Disorder With Spontaneous Significant Intracerebral Bleed
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience
Three years old boy with reassuring development had presented to the Pediatric Neurology clinic with a referral due to a large head. Occipito-frontal circumference was more than 97th centile with an unremarkable neurological examination. MRI brain exhibited an acute on chronic large right frontoparietal subdural hematoma with prominent mass effect. Consequentially, the hematoma was evacuated by the neurosurgeon. Postoperative recovery stayed satisfactory. Hematology workup showed normal coagulation and clotting factors levels. Whole exome sequencing (WES) study revealed heterozygous variant c.5187G>A p.(Trp1729• in gene FBN1 — pathogenic for Marfan syndrome. However, this variant has not yet been reported in association with cerebral arteritis/intracerebral bleed. On follow-up, the child remained asymptomatic clinically with static head size.

Computational Capabilities That Will Transform the World

By Chuck Brooks
Computing paradigms as we know them will exponentially change when artificial intelligence is combined with classical, biological, chemical, and quantum computing. Artificial intelligence might guide and enhance quantum computing, run in a 5G or 6G environment, facilitate the Internet of Things, and stimulate materials science, biotech, genomics, and the metaverse.
Computers that can execute more than a quadrillion calculations per second should be available within the next ten years. We will also rely on clever computing software solutions to automate knowledge labor. Artificial intelligence technologies that improve cognitive performance across all envisioned industry verticals will support our future computing.

New study reveals surprising behavior of iron under extreme conditions
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: evolution, space
Iron is one of the world’s most abundant elements and a primary component of the Earth’s core. Understanding the behavior of iron under extreme conditions, such as ultra-high pressures and temperatures, has implications for the science of geology and the Earth’s evolution.
In a study conducted by a team led by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. researchers combined lasers and X-ray diffraction methods to examine how different crystal structures of iron are related to each other and what happens when it melts at ultrahigh pressures and temperatures. The paper was published in the journal Physical Review B.
Using the Dynamic Compression Sector beamline at Argonne National Laboratory, researchers applied nanosecond laser shock compression to iron at pressures up to 275 gigapascals (GPa) — more than 2 million times atmospheric pressure — and used in situ picosecond X-ray diffraction to study the structure of the iron under these extreme conditions. Authors said the ability to gather this novel data on iron provides insights into materials science and the internal dynamics of Earth and other terrestrial exoplanets.
