Harvard researchers have joined a Sandia National Laboratories-led project to create a physics-constrained AI foundation model for studying complex turbulent flows that are important to energy systems.
JMIR Medical Informatics Editor-in-Chief Arriel Benis and JMIR Publications are pleased to announce an updated focus and scope for the journal. The revision reflects rapid technological advancements and the evolving landscape of biomedical research.
Flood disasters across Europe are becoming more frequent and severe, driven by rapid urbanisation, vulnerable infrastructure and changing extremes in rainfall. A new multi‑country study led by the IAHR Europe Division, with CMCC participation, reveals what recent catastrophic floods can teach us about more resilient governance.
A research team has developed an artificial intelligence-integrated framework that combines pathway-based machine learning, transcriptomic prediction, and pharmacophore analysis to rapidly identify and optimize therapeutic candidates for ischemic stroke.
Rats and mice can scurry through dark and tight spaces with ease. In caves, underground burrows, buildings or sewers. Their superpower for this are their whiskers. Now tiny autonomous drones could soon navigate through darkness, dust and smoke using artificial whiskers inspired by these animals. Their small size limits the use of large or heavy sensors for navigation. That's why researchers at Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands) have developed a lightweight whisker-based tactile sensor that enables drones to navigate and explore their surroundings through gentle touch. The study has been published in Nature Communications.
A new study by researchers from the Future of Work Lab and the Cluster of Excellence "The Politics of Inequality" at the University of Konstanz shows: The use of artificial intelligence at work is increasing in Germany, albeit at a much slower pace than the intensity of the public debate might suggest. At the same time, the use continues to reflect social inequalities: Employees with higher educational qualifications are almost three times more likely to use AI than those with lower levels of education. Moreover, many AI applications are used on the employees' own initiative and without any formal introduction or implementation by employers.
