Along with Schrödinger’s Cat, the Infinite Monkeys Theorem is one of the most famous thought experiments. A new study, with tongue firmly in cheek, has calculated that you might be waiting seven googol years for your Shakespeare.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Monkeys would take 7 universe lifespans to type works of Shakespeare
Researchers have developed a deep learning-based AI algorithm that automatically analyzes chest X-rays to rapidly detect COVID-19 infection with more than 98% accuracy, distinguishing between normal X-rays and X-rays from people with pneumonia, which o… Continue reading AI assist allows humble chest X-ray to diagnose COVID with 98% accuracy
There may be new hope for stroke victims and other “locked-in” people who are unable to communicate by conventional means. It comes in the form of the experimental new BrainGPT system, which is able to read users’ thoughts and convert them into readabl… Continue reading Mind-reading BrainGPT converts thought-of words into displayed text
Inspired by bats’ use of echolocation, researchers have developed smart glasses that transform visual information into unique sound representations that enhance the ability of blind and vision-impaired people to navigate their surroundings. The technol… Continue reading Bat-inspired glasses help the blind & vision-impaired ‘see’ using sound
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 300,000 Americans aged 65 and older are hospitalized for hip fractures each year. The major health issues come in the wake of the break. One in three adults over the age of 50… Continue reading Improving bone strength by just 3% slashes hip fracture rate by 45%
A new study has found that government legislation such as that recently introduced in the European Union can be effective at moderating harmful social media content, even when it comes to fast-paced platforms such as X (formerly Twitter). The findings … Continue reading Legislation is effective at moderating harmful social media content
Australian researchers have developed an AI algorithm called SpermSearch that can accurately identify sperm in severely infertile men in a fraction of the time it takes scientists, providing hope to men who want to father biological children.Continue R… Continue reading AI may help severely infertile men become fathers
Researchers have demonstrated how effective plants are at ridding the air in your home, school, or workplace of toxic, carcinogenic pollutants, providing a sustainable, low-cost way of ensuring that the air you breathe is cleaner.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Indoor plants are surprisingly good at devouring carcinogenic toxins
Preeclampsia is a potentially deadly condition that affects 4% to 8% of pregnant women worldwide, but the condition can be difficult to diagnose. Now, a team of Australian researchers has developed a quick and accurate new test using nanoparticle-based… Continue reading Novel biomarkers enable new rapid test for preeclampsia
