Scientists at UCSF have found that endometriosis — a painful chronic disease affecting 10% of women that often goes undiagnosed — often occurs alongside conditions like cancer, Crohn's disease, and migraine.

The research could improve how endometriosis is diagnosed and, ultimately, how it is treated; and it paints the sharpest portrait yet of a condition that is as mysterious as it is prevalent.

MIT researchers designed a computationally efficient algorithm for machine learning with symmetric data that also requires fewer data for training than conventional approaches. Their work could inform the design of faster, more accurate machine-learning models for tasks like discovering new drugs or identifying astronomical phenomena. 

Researchers designed a transmitter chip that significantly improves energy efficiency of wireless communications, which could boost the range and battery life of a connected device.
