A groundbreaking new artificial intelligence (AI) model developed by Israeli researchers promises to revolutionize wildfire prediction, with a particular focus on lightning-induced blazes that are growing increasingly common due to climate change. The new AI model can predict where and when lightning strikes are most likely to cause wildfires, achieving over 90% accuracy鈥攁 first in wildfire forecasting.
Kenneth Merz, PhD, of Cleveland Clinic's Center for Computational Life Sciences, and a research team are testing quantum computing鈥檚 abilities in chemistry through integrating machine learning and quantum circuits.
Chemistry is one of the areas where quantum computing shows the most potential because of the technology鈥檚 ability to predict an unlimited number of possible outcomes. To determine quantum computing's ability to perform complex chemical calculations, Dr. Merz and Hongni Jin, PhD, decided to test its ability to simulate proton affinity, a fundamental chemical process that is critical to life.
Dr. Merz and Dr. Jin focused on using machine learning applications on quantum hardware. This is a critical advantage over other quantum research which relies on simulators to mimic a quantum computer鈥檚 abilities. In this study, published in the Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation, the team was able to demonstrate the capabilities of quantum machine learning by creating a
Children exposed to higher levels of ozone in their first two years of life were significantly more likely to be diagnosed with asthma or wheezing at ages 4-6 鈥� but researchers didn鈥檛 observe the increased risk of asthma at ages 8-9.
A major new study has revealed that tropical forests across the Americas are not adapting quickly enough to climate change, raising concerns about their long-term resilience.
Over 100 Public Health Leaders鈥擨ncluding Former HHS Secretaries, CDC Directors, U.S. Surgeon General, Governors, and State Health Officials鈥擴rge Congress to Reject Trump Administration鈥檚 Dismantling of CDC and Public Health Programs
New York City's automated speed cameras reduced traffic crashes by 14% and decreased speeding violations by 75% over time, according to research from NYU Tandon. The research revealed most cameras achieve their safety purpose within six months, with violations dropping and staying low 鈥� showing the cameras are working as intended, to deter speeding.
Mayo Clinic is taking epilepsy research in a bold new direction, exploring treatment approaches to help patients living with the most severe and difficult-to-treat forms of epilepsy. About 50 million people worldwide are impacted by epilepsy. Approximately 30% of patients, or about 15 million people, suffer with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE).
Terbium-161 (Tb-161) is a radiolanthanide that shows promise for use in theranostic nuclear medicine. To obtain Tb-161 in a form amenable for medical use, the isotope must be separated from gadolinium, generally using DGA (N,N,N鈥�,N鈥�-tetra-n-octyldiglycolamide) and LN (Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate) resins.
The American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) invites members of the media to attend the 2025 AANS Annual Scientific Meeting, taking place April 25鈥�28, 2025, in Boston.
Planting ground cover in fields between cash crop growing seasons is an effective way to prevent farmland from losing soil carbon from erosion, a factor that鈥檚 underestimated in considering the carbon sequestration potential of cover crops, according to a new study by an Iowa State University ecologist.
One of the latest neuromodulation therapies available at UTSW鈥檚 Peter O鈥橠onnell Jr. Brain Institute is transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). This therapy uses external magnets and coils to depolarize affected neurons, 鈥渞esetting鈥� the connected networks to restore normal function.
Using SLAC鈥檚 LCLS for one of the first studies of its kind, researchers discover surprising behaviors of a complex material that could have important implications for designing faster microelectronic devices.
