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
Astronomers have discovered evidence of a theorized type of black hole lurking in the distant universe. Known as an “Outsize Black Hole,” this object could help explain some fundamental cosmic mysteries, including how supermassive monsters form.Continu… Continue reading Evidence of theorized type of black hole discovered near dawn of time
Imagine trying to read a 2000-year old scroll from an ancient civilization. Now imagine that scroll is rolled up, and in a delicate, charred, carbonized form, having been engulfed by …read more Continue reading 2000-Year Old Charred Manuscripts Reveal Their Secrets
Astronomers have revealed more dramatic details of one of our most ghostly discoveries, the pulsar wind nebula MSH 15-52, also known as the ‘cosmic hand’ or ‘hand of God’. By combining the powers of two X-ray telescopes, NASA’s powerful Chandra X-ray O… Continue reading New findings reveal the ‘bones’ in the ghost-like ‘cosmic hand’ nebula
Aside from idle curiosity, very few of us need to see inside chips and components to diagnose a circuit. But reverse engineering is another story; being able to see what …read more Continue reading DIY Repair Brings an X-Ray Microscope Back Into Focus
The US Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has switched on the world’s most powerful X-ray laser. The Linac Coherent Light Source II (LCLS-II) X-ray Free-Electron Laser (XFEL) flashes a million times a minute and is 10,000 times… Continue reading World’s most powerful X-ray laser lights up
It was second time lucky for Japan as it successfully launched its first lunar lander on September 6 at 23:42 GMT atop a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries H-IIA rocket from the Tanegashima Space Center 25 miles (40 km) south of Kyushu.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Successful liftoff for Japan’s first lunar landing mission
Researchers have used a deep-learning AI model to turn the humble chest X-ray into a more powerful tool for diagnosing heart problems. They say their novel approach could be used as a quick and accurate way of assessing heart function and checking for … Continue reading AI transforms the humble chest X-ray into a better diagnostic tool
At the heart of our galaxy lurks a supermassive monster, which is currently slumbering – but it hasn’t always been so quiet. New observations reveal an X-ray “echo” from a time when the Milky Way’s central black hole awoke just 200 years ago, shining a… Continue reading X-ray echoes reveal recent bright flash from Milky Way’s black hole
