16-Jan-2025 Argonne team delivers a 100x speedup of genetic data analysis from the Million Veteran Program DOE/Argonne National Laboratory Computer scientists from Argonne National Laboratory enabled a 100x speedup in the analysis of genetic associations that may be causal in disease formation using the world’s most diverse genetic biobank, the VA’s Million Veteran Program (MVP).
16-Jan-2025 Artificial imagination DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory Kevin Yager, the Electronic Nanomaterials group leader at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN), has articulated an overarching vision for the role of AI in scientific research. It’s called a science exocortex — “exo” meaning outside and “cortex” referencing the information processing layer of the human brain. Rather than simple chatbots and scientific assistants, the conceptualized exocortex will be an extension of a scientist’s brain. Researchers will interact with it through conversation, without the need for any invasive brain-computer interfaces.
