But the country is still highly vulnerable 12 April 2021 - 08:58 By TimesLIVE An artificial intelligence algorithm has found the risk of a third wave of Covid-19 infections remains low in the country. Image: 123RF.COM Amid fears of the possibility of the country experiencing a third wave of Covid-19 infections, models show there is a low risk although the country remains vulnerable. This is according to a finding using an artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithm designed by the University of the Witwatersrand in partnership with iThemba LABS, the provincial...

Increased funding for ginning labs means increased opportunities for advancing research. Budget increases over the past few years turned the fate of the USDA-ARS cotton ginning research units in Stoneville, Miss., Las Cruces, New Mexico, and Lubbock, Texas, from potential shutdown fears to exciting new research possibilities.  Last year, we talked to Chris Delhom, USDA-ARS research materials engineer, Southern Regional Research Center in New Orleans, about new opportunities. We thought an update would be in order for 2021 and asked Delhom and Joe Thomas, research leader, AR...

March 2, 2021 The University of Minnesota announced today it will begin collecting blood samples from a diverse sample of 25,520 people around the country to better understand how early-life conditions and experiences shape later-life risk of Alzheimer’s and other dementias. The research, supported by $14.2 million in new funding from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), adds a new component to the ongoing $28.4 million High School & Beyond (HS&B) cohort study and builds upon a $500,000 pilot study funded by the Alzheimer’s Association in 2020.   The project, based at the University’...

A team of scientists and engineers has invented a cryogenic computer chip capable of functioning at temperatures near absolute zero, which could enable a new crop of high performance quantum computers capable of performing calculations with thousands of qubits, or more. Quantum computers, up to now, could only accommodate a few dozen qubits. That's why the new cryo chip is such a breakthrough.
