Cancer-diagnosing AI models can secretly read patient demographics from pathology slides, leading to biased results. A new training approach dramatically improves fairness without needing perfect data. Credit: Shutterstock AI can spot cancer—but it can also…
Optical chip developed in the study with laser light from an optical fiber array. Credit: Jake Freedman A new chip-scale device offers unprecedented control over laser frequencies, a key ingredient for large-scale quantum computing. Researchers…
A representation of a cell membrane (rice) with nanopores (broccoli) releasing ions (seeds). Credit: Aleksandra Radenovic/EPFL Scientists found that nanopores’ electrical charges control how ions flow and when pores temporarily shut down. The discovery could…
BISC is a paper-thin, wireless, AI-ready brain implant poised to transform both neurotherapy and human-machine interaction. Credit: Columbia Engineering A radically miniaturized brain implant called BISC is redefining what’s possible in human–computer interaction, offering a…
Scientists argue that quantum technology is entering a transformative era, offering early glimpses of practical systems while exposing the engineering hurdles that must be overcome before the field can fully mature. Credit: Stock A new…
ORNL scientists developed RidgeAlloy, a new aluminum alloy that transforms impure auto-body scrap into strong structural materials. Credit: Shutterstock A new alloy could turn tomorrow’s vehicle scrap into America’s next manufacturing advantage. A large influx…
Gold “super atoms” could unlock scalable, customizable quantum computing. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com Researchers found that gold “super atoms” can behave like the atoms in top-tier quantum systems—only far easier to scale. These tiny clusters…
