New artificial intelligence tool can accurately identify cancer
Andrew Gregory Health editor@andrewgregory Sun 30 Apr 2023 11.00 EDT Doctors, scientists and researchers have built an artificial intelligence model that can accurately identify cancer in a development they say could speed up diagnosis of the disease and fast-track patients to treatment. Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. It results in about 10...

Intelligence is all about connectivity
by Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain You are just enjoying a nap on the sofa when your son suddenly turns up and asks you to help him with his math homework. This change from resting state to working mode is quite challenging for the brain. Based on the type of task, a specific neural...

NO, FACIAL FEATURES DON’T INDICATE INTELLIGENCE
Researchers have identified more than 70 genes that affect variation in both brain and facial structure. The genes don’t influence cognitive ability, however. Although developmental biologists are used to thinking about the developing face as a receptacle for the embryonic brain—morphing and stretching as the growing brain pushes outward—it turns out that the face is...

Let the robot swarms begin!
Multi-disciplinary research has led to the innovative fabrication of molecule-sized robots. Scientists are now advancing their efforts to make these robots interact and work together in the millions, explains a review in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials. A molecular robot, which is typically between 100 nanometers to 100 micrometers long, requires an...

Artificial intelligence jump starts clinical trial for rare genetic disease
by Bob Shepard, University of Alabama at Birmingham It was a pretty simple e-mail. Just a couple of lines. “It looks like low-dose ketamine is an up-regulator for ADNP. Do you think this makes sense for ADNP patients?” Matt Might sent that e-mail to Matt Davis on Feb. 18, 2019. Might is the director of...

Scientists can predict intelligence from brain scans
If you’ve ever lied about your IQ to seem more intelligent, it’s time to fess up. Scientists can now tell how smart you are just by looking at a scan of your brain. Actually, to be more precise, the scientists themselves aren’t looking at your brain scan; a machine-learning algorithm they’ve developed is. In a...
