2+ day, 10+ hour ago   (531+ words) New research finds there is no substitute for real-world observations, but that — under the right circumstances — AI-generated images can be used to improve the performance of computer models used for species identification and biodiversity monitoring. In the study, North Carolina…...

2+ day, 23+ hour ago   (823+ words) Researchers at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed an artificial intelligence framework that helps researchers use atomic force microscopes to identify important nanoscale features while autonomously targeting the most informative areas of a sample…...

4+ day, 20+ hour ago   (524+ words) As an embryo develops from a small cluster of stem cells, those once "blank slate" cells begin to take on more specialized roles like brain, liver, or muscle cells, and organize themselves into three-dimensional structures such as tissues and organs....

5+ day, 20+ min ago   (176+ words) "Reliable AI-guided discovery in this field cannot come from faster predictions alone," said Seong-Hoon Jang, Associate Professor at Tohoku University. "It requires physical constraints, transparent data, and continuous feedback from real experiments built into the process from the start." This…...

1+ week, 3+ day ago   (1141+ words) Mirage News The experience of transitioning from research based in theory to focusing on real-world application can vary significantly for different researchers. However, for two former MIT graduate students and a former postdoc, all now at IBM, working with the…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago   (508+ words) A team at EPFL have developed a framework that trains Large Language Models to create AI systems that can find the best possible setup or "recipe" for a scientific experiment. Modern computational tools let scientists explore huge numbers of possible…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago   (598+ words) A new theory, published in The Journal of Neuroscience by three scientists in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT, offers an explanation of how the brain produces cognition and consciousness: It uses traveling waves of rhythmic neural…...

2+ week, 1+ day ago   (750+ words) The ability to precisely adjust the expression of genes inside the human body — ramping up protective ones and tamping down harmful ones — holds enormous potential for treating and preventing disease. But the standard molecular tools used to tune genes, such…...

2+ week, 3+ day ago   (604+ words) Today, anyone with a large enough artificial intelligence model can generate millions of new material designs in minutes. Unfortunately, that hasn't led to a huge leap in the number of new materials being used to improve the performance of products…...

2+ week, 4+ day ago   (448+ words) An X-ray experiment at Cornell recently did something unusual: It decided for itself where to take its next measurement. CHESS Staff Scientist Amlan Das at the Structural Materials Beamline of CHESS. Earlier this spring, CHESS researchers demonstrated autonomously driven measurements…...
