AI model shows promise to generate faster, more accurate weather forecasts — ScienceDaily
Today’s weather forecasts come from some of the most powerful computers on Earth. The huge machines churn through millions of calculations to solve equations to predict temperature, wind, rainfall and other weather events. A forecast’s combined need for speed and accuracy taxes even the most modern computers. The future could take a radically different approach. […]
How AI could make therapeutic decision-making for breast cancer more accurate, affordable
Breast cancer affects 1/8 women in the USA, and rates of breast cancer are increasing. Humans are good at spotting cancer by looking at patterns in cells. But a new AI tool, ReceptorNet, can supplement human theragnosis by identifying the subtle differences in those patterns to inform better treatment decisions. ReceptorNet was developed in […]
New serological assay provides rapid, accurate testing for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies

Rebecca DuBois, associate professor of biomolecular engineering at UC Santa Cruz, said the new method her team developed […]
Integrated anemia-SCD test demonstrates accurate results in study at 2020 ASH meeting
Researchers from Case Western Reserve University presented research today in which Hemex Health’s Gazelle platform diagnostic technology successfully tested 46 patients with 100% sensitivity and over 92.3% specificity for anemia and with 100% accuracy for hemoglobin variants. The preliminary study included blood samples collected from Cleveland-area patients studied for anemia and sickle cell disease. The […]
Most accurate map of our galaxy pinpoints 1.8 billion cosmic objects
Astronomers were hit Thursday (Dec. 3) with a huge wave of data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia space observatory. Those researchers can now explore the best-yet map of the Milky Way, with detailed information on the positions, distances and motion of 1.8 billion cosmic objects, to help us better understand our place in the […]
Glass tuning-fork-shaped tubing gives accurate, continuous measurements of drug dissolution — ScienceDaily
When you take a time-release drug, you count on it doing what the package says: release the drug slowly into your bloodstream to provide benefits over the specified period of time. When the drug dissolves too slowly or too quickly, the results can range from inconvenient — a decongestant that lets your sinuses get stuffed […]
Astrophysics team lights the way for more accurate model of the universe — ScienceDaily
Light from distant galaxies reveals important information about the nature of the universe and allows scientists to develop high-precision models of the history, evolution and structure of the cosmos. The gravity associated with massive pockets of dark matter that lie between Earth and these galaxies, however, plays havoc with those galactic light signals. Gravity distorts […]
