A new paper has investigated the similarities between two of the most challenging and complex systems in nature: the cosmic network of galaxies and the network of neuronal cells in the human brain.

MIT researchers have developed a system that could bring deep learning neural networks to new – and much smaller – places, like the tiny computer chips in wearable medical devices, household appliances, and the 250 billion other objects that constitute the "internet of things" (IoT).

New research highlights the crucial importance of bacterial microbes in the human gut for the diagnosis and treatment of ASD.

Vital sign (VS) monitoring disruptions for hospitalized patients during overnight hours have been linked to cognitive impairment, hypertension, increased stress and even mortality. For the first time, researchers developed a deep-learning predictive clinical tool to identify which patients do not need to be woken up overnight — allowing them to recover faster.

Physicist Hawoong Jeong worked with statisticians, digital analysts, and art historians to clarify whether computer algorithms could help resolve long-standing questions about design principles used in landscape paintings.

The era of functional genomics has enabled scientists to analyze massive amounts of data on cellular activity in disease and health.

The effects of climate change are sometimes difficult to grasp, but now a virtual reality forest, created by geographers, can let people walk through a simulated forest of today and see what various futures may hold for the trees.

The risk of serious adverse effects on the blood status and bone marrow of patients during chemotherapy can be calculated using a new prediction model. This research may make it possible to use genetic analysis to identify cancer patients with a high probability of side effects.

Scientists have introduced a new system using silicon nanopores sensitive enough to detect a single virus particle when coupled with a machine learning algorithm.

Many types of motile cells need to propel themselves through confined spaces filled with viscous liquid. Mathematical models of the motion of cells in viscous liquids are helping scientists to design artificial microswimmers for numerous applications including targeted drug delivery.
