Last week, China showcased its advanced military technology at the Zhuhai Airshow. The event, held every two years, offers a rare glimpse into China’s military and industrial prowess. Experts see this as China’s attempt to match the U. S. in military capabilities, highlighting their efforts to moder
Ever wondered how your immune system could help doctors figure out which lung cancer patients will respond best to certain drugs? Scientists have been exploring this idea, focusing on immune cells found in tumors and blood. With the help of machine learning, they've developed a clever tool to spot t
In today's digital age, politics is everywhere online. But how can we really tell what people are reading? German researchers delved into this question, testing three methods to detect political texts: using lists of words, traditional machine learning, and deep learning. They ran over 66 models and
The Philippines and the United States have signed an important deal to share secret military information. This deal, signed on November 18, 2024, lets the two countries exchange top-secret details about their military plans and technology. The US Defense Secretary, Lloyd Austin, and the Philippine D
Imagine a material that changes color when it comes into contact with water. Sounds like magic, right? It's actually the work of hydrochromic materials, which are hot topics in sensing and security. Perovskite materials are known for their water-induced color changes, but making this happen in perov
You might have heard that China has a big plan. They’re thinking about giving local governments some cash early for big projects. This money comes in the form of special bonds. Normally, the government decides how much debt these local folks can take on in the fourth quarter. But this time, they mig
Meet Emma Hayes, a coach with over 20 years of experience, transforming teams like Chelsea into powerhouses and even guiding the USWNT to Olympic gold. She believes that coaching licenses only scratch the surface. Real-world experience is where the magic happens. Hayes started young, at just 20, and
Imagine you're trying to figure out how well a crystal can conduct heat. Traditionally, scientists use complex calculations called first-principles to predict this property, called lattice thermal conductivity (LTC). These calculations need a lot of computational power, especially when you want to e
Doctors often struggle to predict how long lung cancer patients will live after radiation therapy. This is key for planning personalized treatments. A team recently created a model that uses machine learning to figure this out. They looked at pictures of the lungs and tumor, along with some clinical
Have you ever wondered how to make power conversion more efficient? Well, meet the latest buck converter that's making waves in the tech world. This clever device uses what's called an active auxiliary resonant network to make the switching process smoother. That means it doesn't put extra strain on
