Medical imaging methods are often affected by background noise. To solve this, some researchers have drawn inspiration from quantum mechanics, which describes how matter and energy behave at the atomic scale. Their studies draw an analogy between how particles vibrate and how pixel intensity spreads out in images and causes noise. Now authors apply the same mathematics to decipher the localization of pixel intensity in images. In this way, they can separate the noise-free “signal” of the anatomical structures in the image from the visual noise of stray pixels.

A research team headed by the University of Zurich has developed a powerful new method to precisely edit DNA by combining cutting-edge genetic engineering with artificial intelligence. This technique opens the door to more accurate modeling of human diseases and lays the groundwork for next-generation gene therapies.

Here, researchers from Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Nanosystems (Chinese Academy of Sciences) and Yonsei University present the latest progress in neuromorphic computing by integrating various neural networks, including SVM, ANN, CNN, RNN, and RC. Starting from the structure of synapses and neurons, they explore how these networks can be combined with neuromorphic devices to replicate more complex brain-like computations. They also propose future development directions for neuromorphic devices, focusing on advancements in their structures, materials, and applications across diverse fields such as vision, touch, hearing, smell, pain and other senses.

Rice researchers have demonstrated a form of quantum interference two order of magnitude greater than any previously reported.

A new study reveals how Lactococcus lactis (L. lactis), a common food bacterium, regulates the production of a key precursor in vitamin K₂ (menaquinone) biosynthesis. The bacteria produce enough of this precursor to support their growth while preventing toxic buildup.

Anomalies in temperature and salinity that originate in the midlatitude North Atlantic can affect the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in the Nordic Seas up to a decade later. The study published in Nature’s journal Communications Earth & Environment shows that the anomalies that travel northward with the Atlantic Water are an important part of the system, and actively modulate both the inflow of warm water into the Nordic Seas and the overflow of dense water back into the deep Atlantic.
