The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS, President Dr. Lee Ho Seong) has developed a deep learning technology that predicts, in real time, the vibrations at multiple locations inside a nuclear power plant using the signal from just a single seismometer, and that quantifies the risk at each location to enable the prioritization of inspections. In particular, because the AI model can be flexibly designed to match the vibration characteristics of a structure, it is expected to be widely applicable to major industrial facilities such as semiconductor plants and data centers in the future.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is a life-threatening complication in patients with cervical cancer that can significantly worsen survival and treatment outcomes. Although several clinical risk assessment tools are available, they primarily rely on laboratory measurements obtained at a single time point, limiting their ability to capture the evolving biological processes that precede thrombosis. While deep learning models have demonstrated strong predictive performance, their limited interpretability and high computational demands remain barriers to routine clinical implementation.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers developed an artificial intelligence system that can manipulate individual molecules to build custom materials with atomic precision. The approach could eventually allow scientists to specify desired electronic properties and use AI to help create materials tailored for advanced electronics, memory technologies and quantum computing.

A new review brings together research on geopolitical tensions, meteorological disasters, regional environmental degradation, supply chain disruption, systemic financial instability, and technology-mediated societal and institutional risks. It shows how shocks can spread through interconnected political, economic, ecological, technological, and social systems, and outlines a flexible cycle of risk identification, assessment, management, and adaptive monitoring supported by international cooperation.
