Order wine at a fancy restaurant, and the sommelier might describe its aroma as having notes of citrus, tropical fruit, or flowers. Yet, when you take a whiff, it might just smell like … wine. How can wine connoisseurs pick out such similar scents?

Researchers have developed the first AI system which can design a walking robot from scratch in mere seconds! The system was prompted to design a robot that can walk across a flat surface and the result was an evolved robot with three legs and rear fins.

We explore the significance of device connectivity as the fundamental element in implementing lab automation strategies and future-proofing laboratory operations. Through expert perspectives, we explain how device connectivity standards, such as LADS and SiLA, unify device driver development, improve data management, and promote efficient and effective lab execution workflows.

University engineers have developed a new and energy efficient nanoelectronic device that has the potential to carry out artificial intelligence tasks in real time without transmitting data to the cloud for analysis.

Researchers have found out that iron atoms found in the Earth’s solid inner core are capable of moving around much more than previously thought. The results could explain numerous intriguing properties of the inner core as well as offer insights on the role the inner core plays in powering Earth’s geodynamo.

Researchers have developed a new robotic system that can carry out clinical breast examinations. The solution is expected to detect breast cancer early on and could transform the way in which women monitor their breast health.

Researchers have developed an AI (Artificial Intelligence) model which has the potential to screen heart defects. The model is claimed to be more effective for detecting signs of atrial septal defect than traditional processes.

Researchers made use of ChatGPT to search for scientific literature in order to develop new materials. The time-consuming task was carried out quickly and with the obtained data, they were able to create a second tool to predict experimental results.

Automation continues to advance, even in the laboratory. For the life science sector, SPT Labtech has developed a liquid handling station that can handle complex workflows such as next-generation sequencing. In an exclusive interview with LP, Jose Couto, Field Application Scientist Manager, explains what makes this automation solution so special and how it can make everyday work in genomics labs easier.

The upper images are the chest radiographs of patients from 21 to 40 years old and from 81 to 100 years old chronologically and the lower images are a visualization of the AI’s focus (both after averaging). Red indicates the points most useful for age determination.
