Moving from the Lab to the Mainstream - Microsoft's Machine-Learning Tool Image Credit: Microsoft Reinforced Learning systems are ready to make the jump from the research bench to real-world applications. Wondering why you are still seeing advertisements for holidays in your browser during a global pandemic? It's because most companies that place ads generally use traditional Machine Learning (ML) models that make predictions based on past behaviors. Thus, when the temperature drops, these models suggest a trip to some far-flung destination, because that has worked in the past. Therefore the ...

Image Credit: Princeton University What started as a happy accident and an odd measurement could lead to a new, cost-effective way of measuring fluid flow.  Often the course of science doesn’t run smooth and happy accidents can lead to major findings and discoveries. From Michelson and Morley’s failure to detect the ether  —  a mysterious substance through which light was thought to propagate  —  arose Einstein’s theory of special relativity, for example. That’s a lesson that researchers at Princeton University also recently learned. When they set about to test a high-re...

Traces of Martian Mineral Found in Antarctic Ice Image Credit: Juergen Schwab/Shutterstock.com Whilst the discovery of jarosite helped confirm that Mars once possessed surface waters, how the mineral got there was a mystery. The answer could lie deep beneath the surface of the Antarctic ice.  Traces of a mineral rarely found on Earth have been discovered deep within the ice of the Antarctic. The finding could indicate why the mineral is common on the surface of Mars as its formation on Earth could also explain how the mineral takes shape on the Red Planet. A team of researchers found evidenc...

How AI-powered ‘Puff Technology’ can Help Smokers Quit Image Credit: Kurylo Sofiya / Shutterstock.com New research will observe how smokers use e-cigarettes and help them quit smoking using newly developed ‘puff technology.’  Researchers at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in the UK launched a new study¹ this week to help understand the smoking habits of e-cigarette users. The research will be used to develop an artificial intelligence program that could be used to help smokers quit tobacco. The team, led by Emma Ward and Felix Naughton, both doctors from UEA’s Norwich Medical ...

3D Printing Bone-Like Structures that Contain Living Cells Image Credit: University of New South Wales A novel technique could lead to 3D printed bones that provide a more natural and less intrusive alternative to bone grafts. Bone breakage and loss through illness is not uncommon. Currently, we deal with these things by performing bone grafts, but this process requires taking a section from another bone, cutting it to fit in place, and holding it steady with metal plates and scaffolding that has to be removed in further operations. Even worse, if too much bone is missing or irreversibly dam...
