St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital scientists developed an algorithm using machine learning to create 3D maps that reveal factors essential to gene expression in healthy and diseased cells.
Cobalt-free LiNiO2 (LNO) is considered a promising cathode for its high energy density and cost-effectiveness. However, its structural instability under deep delithiation severely limits practical application in next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Microstructure engineering enhances structural stability through precisely controlled lattice modulation strategies, particularly via high-valence element doping which effectively stabilizes the crystal framework through strong bonding characteristics and charge compensation effects.
A University of Iowa-led research team has documented in humans that physical exercise sparks an increase in brain waves called ripples connecting areas in the brain linked to learning and memory. The researchers noted that a single exercise session spawns a spike in ripples and learning-memory connections. Results published in the journal Brain Communications.
Patients with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) require accurate and consistent monitoring of their blood glucose levels. Over the past decade, AI models have been explored to tackle this challenge; however, inter-patient variability and large data volumes remain key challenges. In a new study, researchers present BiT-MAML, a model-agnostic algorithm aimed at personalized blood glucose prediction of patients with T1D. This approach overcomes the limitations of existing models and enables precise predictions in real clinical settings.
