A new study reports that deep learning — a form of artificial intelligence — was able to detect malignant lung nodules on low-dose chest computed tomography scans with a performance meeting or exceeding that of expert radiologists.

A research group at the University of Cordoba is working on a visual tool to determine the behavior of a fire in an area, and to measure the economic losses it causes in a more precise way, evaluating not only the tangible resources, but also the intangible ones too.

Following the General Conference on Weights and Measures in November 2018, perhaps one of the most significant revisions to the International System of Units (the SI) since its inception was agreed. Today, on World Metrology Day, it is being put into action.

UCLA researchers have identified a way to significantly reduce the duration of tuberculosis treatment using an approach called "artificial intelligence-parabolic response surface."

Fainting is not solely caused by external factors. Your genes also play a part. In a study looking at data from more than 400,000 individuals, scientists have identified the first gene that predisposes to fainting.

Scientists have examined more than 25 years of data to reveal new insights into predicting the age of onset for Huntington disease.

Researchers at UC Davis and UC San Francisco have found a way to teach a computer to precisely detect one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease in human brain tissue, delivering a proof of concept for a machine-learning approach to distinguishing critical markers of the disease.

A new study suggests that the next generation of hearing aids might match a listener's brainwaves with the "soundprint" of a speaker's voice, using that information to automatically turn up the volume on that speaker.

In just a few short weeks, tens of thousands of newly minted doctors will start the most intense year of their training: the first year of residency, also called the intern year. A new study suggests that between now and next summer, that experience will make their DNA age six times faster than normal.

In of organic chemistry, reactions are notoriously difficult to analyze. As a result, reaction data in chemoinformatics has been much less developed than information about single molecules. In a new project, titled CGRtools, researchers solved a number of problems to better handle reaction information. The software library is significantly richer in functionality than all the existing tools.
