Shaun White, a famous snowboarder, has teamed up with NBC Sports to bring a new winter sports league to TV screens. The deal, lasting multiple years, will show the Snow League on both NBC and Peacock. The league focuses on snowboarding and freeskiing, with its first event happening in Aspen, Colorad
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
Throughout history, authoritarian leaders have used similar tactics to undermine democracy. Recently, concerns have been raised about potential policies that mirror these authoritarian actions. However, the United States has a strong tradition of protecting human rights and democratic institutions.
You might have heard that Colorado is struggling with ozone pollution, especially in the Denver area. Many people are wondering why the state's plan to clean up the air, called the State Implementation Plan (SIP), isn't working as expected. To understand this, we talked to some experts who pointed o
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
Ever thought about how Australian nursing students get ready for mental health jobs? A recent study, following a method called PRISMA-ScR, found 31 studies conducted in English between 2000 and 2023. What do these studies say? They reveal that well-structured clinical placements can reduce the stigm
Imagine you're in college and taking online classes. It might be challenging, right? But did you know that your parents' support can make a big difference?

Eliezer Feldstein, a close aide to Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, found himself in trouble after being arrested for allegedly leaking secret information. The incident started with a military reserve officer who shared a classified document with Feldstein. In September, Feldstein passed
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
