In a new study, artificial intelligence matched and potentially exceeded the performance of gastroenterologists and conventional scoring in evaluating endoscopies of Crohn’s disease patients.
As a highlight of BIOHK2025—Asia's premier biotechnology conference and exhibition—Insilico Medicine, a clinical-stage biotechnology company powered by generative AI, will partner with the Hong Kong Biotechnology Association to present a satellite forum themed "Exploring the Frontiers of AI in Drug Discovery, Development, and Beyond", entitled “Towards Pharmaceutical Superintelligence.”
Although traditional spinel oxides exhibit excellent microwave dielectric or thermosensitive properties, achieving linear negative temperature coefficient (NTC) behaviour and stable microwave dielectric performance simultaneously across a wide temperature range remains challenging, making it impossible to meet the stringent requirements for multifunctional integration in 6G front-end devices. This study developed Sc3+-modified Mg-Al-Mn-Fe-O spinel ceramics through B-site cation doping, breaking through this performance trade-off bottleneck. On the one hand, Sc3+ inhibits the formation of oxygen vacancies and regulates the Mn/Fe valence ratio, achieving highly linear thermosensitive characteristics across an ultra-wide temperature range of 200-1000°C (B200°C/1000°C = 8367-9758 K). On the other hand, through the lattice stabilisation effect induced by Sc3+ and the octahedral site bond strength enhancement mechanism, excellent microwave dielectric properties were simultaneously obtained: low dielectric constants (εr = 8.86-10.55), ultrahigh quality factor (Q·f= 96,000-149,000 GHz), and near-zero temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τf = -33.2 to -10.2×10-6/°C). The cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna developed based on the prepared ceramic achieved 92% radiation efficiency and 6.28 dBi gain in the 12 GHz frequency band, verifying its engineering application potential in satellite communication front-end modules.
An international research team led by UCL, Great Ormond Street Hospital, and KU Leuven is using 3D-printing and nanodiamonds to design treatments that could help babies repair their damaged lungs while still in the womb.
