How Tech is Fixing Blurry PET Scans

PET scans are a big deal in medicine. They help doctors see inside the body. But sometimes, the pictures come out blurry. This happens because tiny light particles, called gamma photons, bounce around. They hit different spots than they should. This is called inter-crystal scattering, or ICS for sho

Unmasking Fake News: How Communities Form and Spread Lies Online

Fake news spreads like wildfire on social media. It's not just one person sharing a false story. It's a group of people, a community, working together. These communities are not static. They change over time. People join, leave, and new groups form. This makes it hard to track how fake news spreads.

Making AI Tricks Work Better: A New Way to Fool Machines

AI systems are often tricked by sneaky inputs called adversarial examples. These inputs are tweaked just enough to confuse AI models, but not enough for humans to notice. The tricky part is making these examples work well on different AI systems without being too obvious. A new method called Diff-A

How AI is making it easier to spot unknown chemicals in our bodies

Ever wondered how scientists figure out what's in our bodies? It's not as easy as it sounds. They often use a method called metabolomics. This involves looking at tiny amounts of chemicals, or metabolites, in our cells. The problem is, there are lots of unknown metabolites out there. And without a r

Tuning Brain-Inspired Computers for Better Performance

Brain-inspired computers, called Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs), are great for low-power devices like wearables and sensors. But one key part, the leaky time constant (LTC), hasn't been fully studied. The LTC helps these computers process information over time. Scientists tested how changing the LTC

Smart Ways to Improve Learning in Time-Based Networks

Time-based networks, like social media or online shopping platforms, show how connections change over time. Lately, scientists have focused on creating better models to understand these networks. But there's a catch: they haven't paid much attention to the quality of the "wrong" examples used to tra
