Machine learning is overtaking humans in predicting death or heart attack

Machine algorithm uses 85 variables to calculate risk in individuals Formulas used by humans include a handful of variables and have modest accuracy By repeatedly analysing 85 variables in 950 patients with known six-year outcomes, an algorithm “learned” how imaging data interacts. It then identified patterns correlating the variables to death and heart attack with

How do U.S. students measure up on digital literacy in social media and online news?

A recent study revealed students at an international school in Finland significantly outperformed U.S. students on tasks which measure digital literacy in social media and online news. The researchers suggest this may be due to the Finnish and International Baccalaureate curricula’s different way of facilitating students’ critical thinking skills compared to the U.S. system and

New low-cost material produces white luminescence comparable to sunlight

Researchers at the University of Turku have developed a synthetic material based on the natural hackmanite mineral which produces broad spectrum white light in lamps. The hackmanite created by the Inorganic Materials Chemistry research group is a low-cost material emitting luminescence closer to sunlight than that of the currently used lanthanides. The hackmanite developed by
