Low-cost artificial intelligence image detection method for cervical cancer

An artificial intelligence image detection method has the potential to outperform PAP and HPV tests in screening for cervical cancer; Low-cost technique could be used in less-developed countries, where 80 percent of cervical cancer deaths occur. Artificial intelligence–commonly known as A.I.–is already exceeding human abilities. Self-driving cars use A.I. to perform some tasks more safely

LIVE-STREAMING CRIME: HOW WILL FACEBOOK LIVE CHALLENGE PRIVACY LAW?

In July, videos of the fatal police shootings of Alton Sterling—a black man in Louisiana—and Philando Castile—a black man in Minnesota—went viral on social media. The immediate aftermath of the Castile shooting was first shared via Facebook Live, which is a type of mobile streaming video technology (MSVT) that allows users to stream live video

Could a solar cell assemble itself with greener biologically manufactured quantum dots?

Biological manufacturing process, pioneered by three Lehigh University engineers, produces equivalent quantum dots to those made chemically–but in a much greener, cheaper way Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconducting nanocrystals prized for their optical and electronic properties. The brilliant, pure colors produced by QDs when stimulated with ultraviolet light are ideal for use in flat screen

Machine ‘Unlearning’ Technique Wipes Out Unwanted Data Quickly and Completely

Machine learning systems are everywhere. Computer software in these machines predicts the weather, forecasts earthquakes, provides recommendations based on the books and movies we like and, even, applies the brakes on our cars when we are not paying attention. To do this, computer systems are programmed to find predictive relationships calculated from the massive amounts

Researchers synthesize a rare critical mineral for first time

An international group of researchers has synthesized an extremely rare mineral and used it as a catalyst precursor to improve two reactions that are of great importance to the chemical industry. Using a technique called supercritical anti-solvent precipitation (SAS), the group produced large quantities of highly pure georgeite, a disordered copper-hydroxycarbonate that is found naturally

Silent flights: How owls could help make wind turbines and planes quieter

A newly-designed material, which mimics the wing structure of owls, could help make wind turbines, computer fans and even planes much quieter. Early wind tunnel tests of the coating have shown a substantial reduction in noise without any noticeable effect on aerodynamics. No other bird has this sort of intricate wing structure Nigel Peake An

Researchers advance the art of drug testing

“The chip enables us to grow our own human cells and observe a drug’s effect on them in their natural environment,” On a rectangular chip slightly smaller than a person’s finger, two scientists and an engineer are writing what they hope will be the blueprint for the future of drug testing. The researchers are studying

Solar panels as inexpensive as paint?

Most Americans want the U.S. to place more emphasis on developing solar power, recent polls suggest. A major impediment, however, is the cost to manufacture, install and maintain solar panels. Simply put, most people and businesses cannot afford to place them on their rooftops. Fortunately, that is changing because researchers such as Qiaoqiang Gan, University at

Out-Of-This-World Nanoscience: A Computer Chip That Can Assemble Itself?

Imagine a computer chip that can assemble itself. According to Eric M. Furst, professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the University of Delaware, engineers and scientists are closer to making this and other scalable forms of nanotechnology a reality as a result of new milestones in using nanoparticles as building blocks in functional materials.
