A new artificial intelligence computer program created by researchers at the University of Florida and NVIDIA can generate doctors’ notes so well that two physicians couldn’t tell the difference, according to an early study from both groups.
Results showed that bilinguals seem to be more efficient at ignoring information that's irrelevant, rather than suppressing — or inhibiting information
While artificial intelligence tools offer great potential for improving health care delivery, practitioners and scientists warn of their risk for perpetuating racial inequities. Published Friday in the Nature journal Digital Medicine, the paper is the first to evaluate fairness among these tools in connection to a women’s health issue.
People living with HIV may face hard choices when balancing their own health needs with caring for a pet, a study led by a University of Florida College of Public Health and Health Professions researcher finds.
New research from the University of Florida finds that financial fraud plays a unique role in attracting students to the field of accounting and other business disciplines.
The first-ever look at hammerhead shark development shows how they develop their hammer in stunning detail.
A new drug encourages weight loss and increases endurance by making the body act like it is exercising.
UF scientists will develop a low-cost mosquito trap to lure the insects and create a web-based dashboard to improve surveillance across the southeast United States
Blood tests reveal that millions of Americans are exposed to tobacco smoke without knowing it.
University of Florida scientists are trying to raise as many urchins as possible because they eat algae that could otherwise smother reef ecosystems and kill corals. A UF post-doctoral researcher led newly published research that identifies algae on which larval sea urchins grow into juveniles in a lab setting.
A team of researchers led by Brent Sumerlin, of the University of Florida, has made a breakthrough with the potential for a new method for recycling plastic that promises to lower the energy requirement without sacrificing the quality of the plastic.
Just in time for Shark Week, researchers are trawling deep underwater to learn more about the ghostlike fish that lurks on the ocean floor
A new study featuring data from the NASA Mars Perseverance rover reports on an instrumental detection potentially consistent with organic molecules on the Martian surface, hinting toward past habitability of the Red Planet.
New research reveals when the candidate field is crowded, voters are more likely to sit out than turnout.
Our familiar, warm, yellow sun is a relative rarity in the Milky Way. By far the most common stars are considerably smaller and cooler, sporting just half the mass of our sun at most. Billions of planets orbit these common dwarf stars in our galaxy.
The universe once preferred one set of shapes over their mirror images, a violation of parity symmetry that helps explain the abundance of matter over antimatter.
UF Online, the University of Florida’s top-ranked online bachelor’s degree program, announced an education partnership with Nicklaus Children’s Health System, as part of a commitment to empower Florida healthcare workers in achieving their education goals today. The partnership supports eligible employees of the Miami-based healthcare provider starting with the spring 2024 semester.
Curbside recycling provides a return on investment similar to or better than environmentally friendly strategies like transitioning to electric vehicles or purchasing green power, study shows
Going beyond pregnancy and COVID-19, the world could someday soon come to rely on at-home tests for many diseases thanks in part to AI-fueled improvements.
Retail investors typically lose with zero-commission complex or multi-leg options, especially around earnings announcements.
In early 2022, long-spined sea urchins in St. Thomas began to quickly die in large numbers. Scientists rushed in to find the cause and have discovered that a microscopic parasite swarms the body and spines of the urchins, eating them alive.
Managers who disconnect from work are rated as stronger leaders the next day
The Indo-West Pacific is the largest, most biodiverse marine ecosystem on Earth, and many of the species it supports have comparably wide ranges. Writing in “The Origin of Species,” Charles Darwin noted that “… many fish range from the Pacific into the Indian Ocean, and many shells are common to the eastern islands of the Pacific and the eastern shores of Africa, on almost exactly opposite meridians of latitude.”
Sports venues are a magnet for car crashes, which means cities can target safety measures in these areas to maximize their impact.
New research shows that identifying the drivers of unequal pay is the fastest and fairest way to close gender pay gaps.
The University of Florida has partnered with several federal and state agencies on a large-scale python removal project to protect the Everglades. The project combines Burmese python ecology with removal efforts to maximize opportunities to expand knowledge of their biology and habitat use and estimate their abundance and ultimately reduce the population in the Everglades.
The brown basilisk, a nonnative lizard, is gaining ground across South and Central Florida, and University of Florida scientists need more data to determine its status and potential impacts
