Researchers from Shanghai, China, have developed a practical visual assistance system that combines lightweight camera headgear, AI-facilitated software, and artificial “skins” to provide physiological sensing. This innovative system aims to overcome current designs’ limitations and usability concerns, offering a promising solution for the 43 million people worldwide who are blind or severely visually impaired. Forecast…
A machine-learning tool has been developed to predict individuals at high risk of developing post-partum depression, a condition that affects around 17% of people giving birth worldwide. The tool uses electronic health records and post-partum-depression screening scores to identify parents who would benefit most from preventive care. Researchers hope that this tool will help develop…
The cryptocurrency market is witnessing a significant shift with XRP breaking through its historical high. The emergence of a “passive income revolution” is being driven by Ripple’s cooperation with global financial institutions and the evolution of the Richminer platform. This platform allows ordinary investors to participate in cloud mining without technical barriers and low risk,…
Weather forecasting is on the cusp of a revolution with the emergence of AI-powered models like Aurora, which has outperformed current weather prediction systems. This breakthrough has significant implications for climate prediction, particularly in the face of increasing extreme weather events. Aurora’s ability to accurately predict tropical cyclone paths, air pollution, and ocean waves, among…
An international team of physicists has made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of nuclear physics, uncovering a previously unknown region in the nuclear landscape where fragments of fission split in an unexpected way. This unexpected discovery has far-reaching implications, ranging from the development of safer nuclear energy to understanding how heavy elements are created…
The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has increased the number of grant applications it has rejected without funding, affecting medical research. Over 2,500 applications have been withdrawn, mostly due to the closure of around 100 funding categories that supported researchers from diverse backgrounds. This move has sparked concerns about the loss of an entire…
The price of XRP is currently trading at $2.35, up 2.37% in the past 24 hours. As the cryptocurrency market develops, investors are keeping a close eye on XRP’s movements, especially some upcoming events that could affect its price. Meanwhile, cloud mining platforms like Bow Miner are gaining popularity, offering a new way for investors…
The United States is planning to develop a next-generation missile defense system, dubbed the “Golden Dome,” to protect the country from incoming missiles. However, scientists suggest that implementing such a system would be daunting due to the difficulty of intercepting intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and other advanced threats. The system aims to defend against not…
As generative AI becomes increasingly powerful and accessible, experts are sounding the alarm on the urgent need for improved ethics and safety measures. Artemis Seaford, Head of AI Safety at ElevenLabs, and Ion Stoica, co-founder of Databricks, will discuss the challenges of AI safety at TechCrunch Sessions: AI on June 5. They will examine the…
A team of researchers led by Nico Deshler at the University of Arizona has developed a new type of coronagraph that can capture images of dim exoplanets extremely close to bright stars. This breakthrough instrument has the potential to revolutionize exoplanet discovery and could also have significant applications in areas such as communications, quantum sensing,…
