Peering into the mind of artificial intelligence to make better antibiotics
American Chemical Society (ACS)

Artificial intelligence (AI) has exploded in popularity, but it’s hard to know what’s going on inside. Explainable AI (XAI) gives justification for an AI model’s decisions, and now, researchers are using it to make better antibiotics. They will present their results at ACS Fall 2024.

La Cámara de Energía Oscura obtuvo esta increíble imagen del deslumbrante cúmulo de Coma Berenice, que en la antigüedad se le asoció a la historia del cabello perdido que la Reina Berenice II de Egipto ofreció a los dioses griegos como ofrenda por el retorno de su esposo de la guerra. Se trata de un conjunto de galaxias que no sólo es significativo para la mitología griega, sino también fue fundamental para el descubrimiento de la existencia de la materia oscura, cuando en 1937 el astrónomo suizo Fritz Zwicky, notó que las galaxias de este cúmulo se comportaban como si estuviesen bajo la influencia de enormes cantidades de materia invisible imposible de observar.

Queen Berenice II’s Hair Tied Together by Dark Matter

The Dark Energy Camera captures an image of the dazzling Coma Cluster, named after the hair of Queen Berenice II of Egypt. Not only significant in Greek mythology, this collection of galaxies was also fundamental to the discovery of the existence of dark matter. The theory emerged in 1937 when Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky noticed that the Coma Cluster galaxies behaved as if they were under the influence of vast amounts of unobservable ‘dark’ matter.

Newswise

Live from the annual conference of the Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (ADLM, formerly AACC), experts will discuss how the new FDA rule on laboratory developed tests will hinder patient care. This rule will place these tests under duplicative FDA oversight, even though laboratory developed tests are already regulated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This will force many labs to stop performing these essential tests, which play a critical role in diagnosing rare disorders, such as inherited genetic conditions in newborns.

In the months that followed NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission, which sent a spacecraft to intentionally collide with an asteroid moonlet, the science team verified that kinetic impact was a viable deflection technique, proving one effective method of preventing future asteroid strikes on Earth.Since then, researchers have continued studying data collected from the successful experiment, focusing specifically on surface features of the binary asteroid system, composed of moonlet Dimorphos and parent asteroid Didymos.
