A study by Carnegie Mellon University, Bayes Business School, and Bocconi University reveals gender differences in information sharing: men are less inclined to share negative information compared to women, while both genders are similar in sharing positive news.

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.

Researchers at University of Michigan developed a method to produce artificially grown miniature brains — called human brain organoids — free of animal cells that could greatly improve the way neurodegenerative conditions are studied and, eventually, treated.

High blood pressure is considered to be the most important risk factor for death in women across the world. An expert at the European Society of Cardiology suggests that women should regularly monitor their blood pressure at home.

Researchers at the University of Minnesota are making use of ultrasound waves to move objects without using your hands. The unique method uses the principles of metamaterial physics to move larger objects and can be used across diverse sectors such as manufacturing and robotics.

Regularly eating a high fat/calorie diet could reduce the brain’s ability to regulate calorie intake. New research in rats published in The Journal of Physiology found that after short periods of being fed a high fat/high calorie diet, the brain adapts to react to what is being ingested and reduces the amount of food eaten to balance calorie intake.

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a semantic decoder, a new artificial intelligence system which can reveal stories in a person’s mind. The solution may prove beneficial for people who are mentally conscious yet unable to speak physically.
