GPT Protein Models Speak Fluent Biology

Biotechnology & Biomedical

Artificial intelligence has already shaved years off research into protein engineering. Now, for the first time, scientists have synthesized proteins predicted by an AI model in the lab and found them to work just as well as their natural counterparts. The research used a deep-learning language model for protein engineering…

“Brain Age” AI Discovers Early Alzheimer’s Signs

Biotechnology & Biomedical

Although your brain has chronologically the same number of years in the world as the rest of you, determining its medical “age,” a measure of how processes of aging impact the brain, is far from obvious or straightforward. Now, researchers are testing an AI-based model that determines brain age via…

Wearable Ultrasound Patch Images the Heart in Real Time

Biotechnology & Biomedical

A wearable ultrasound imager for the heart that is roughly the size of a postage stamp, can be worn for up to 24 hours, and works even during exercise may one day help doctors spot cardiac problems that current medical technology might miss, a new study finds.Heart disease is the…

Wi-Fi routers could be used to monitor breathing

Electrical, Electronics & Instrumentation

Scientists at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created BreatheSmart, an algorithm to determine whether someone is having trouble breathing using available Wi-Fi routers and devices. Wi-Fi routers continuously broadcast radio frequencies that phones, tablets and computers are able pick up. As the signals travel, they bounce…

Andrew Ng: Unbiggen AI

Metallurgy & Material Science

Andrew Ng has serious street cred in artificial intelligence. He pioneered the use of graphics processing units (GPUs) to train deep learning models in the late 2000s with his students at Stanford University, cofounded Google Brain in 2011, and then served for three years as chief scientist for Baidu, where…
