Restoring underwater kelp forests by culling overgrazing sea urchins would deliver significant financial benefits, a new study has found.
Researchers at Tongji University and the Shanghai AI Lab show that graph-based neural networks can uncover hidden money-laundering rings and collusion networks in financial transactions far more effectively than traditional methods, offering a clear roadmap for real-world implementation and stronger fraud defenses across banking, insurance, and regulatory systems.
The research team proposed a novel discrete-modulated coherent-state quantum key distribution with basis encoding. In this scheme, Alice performs discrete modulation on the coherent state and sends it to Bob. Bob performs coherent detection and encodes the key in the base selection, ultimately publishing the measurement results.
A review from Xidian University shows that advanced computational algorithms—from neural networks and matrix methods to recommendation engines and text-mining—can reliably predict novel uses for existing drugs, offering a faster, lower-cost, and lower-risk path to discovering new therapies.
Researchers from Jinan University, Huawei, and ByteDance have developed LTAA-FGAC, an innovative authentication system that balances user privacy with public traceability and fine-grained access control to enhance digital security and accountability.
