FireANTs brings AI speed and geometric precision to medical imaging

University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Science
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Penn Engineers have developed FireANTs, an open-source algorithm that compares complex medical images quickly and accurately by combining optimization techniques from modern AI with the precision of geometry. The method could help clinicians and researchers detect subtle changes in tissue over time, while making large-scale image analysis far more practical.

Should hitters change their swing based on the count? Rice study weighs in

Rice University
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A newly published study co-authored by Scott Powers, assistant professor of sport analytics and statistics at Rice, and Ron Yurko, assistant teaching professor and director of the Carnegie Mellon Sports Analytics Center, analyzed newly released Major League Baseball swing-tracking data to examine one of baseball’s most debated questions: Should hitters change their swing with two strikes?

Egg allergy prevalence before and after guidelines for earlier egg introduction

JAMA Network
Peer-Reviewed Publication

About The Study: This study provides population-level evidence that updated infant feeding guidelines recommending earlier introduction of egg led to measurable reductions in the population prevalence of egg allergy. The findings suggest that guideline updates informed by randomized trial evidence may be associated with a reduction in food allergy prevalence when implemented effectively.

NYU launches Earth Systems Institute

New York University
Business Announcement

New York University has launched the NYU Earth Systems Institute, a multidisciplinary hub that will deploy AI and computational tools to better predict environmental changes and to advance means to better prepare and respond to these global phenomena.

Toward standardized microplastics monitoring in rivers

Tokyo University of Science
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Microplastic pollution in rivers is difficult to quantify because particles span a wide size range and are measured using incompatible methods. Recently, researchers from Japan developed a unified approach to describe microplastic number and mass distributions using power-law size spectra. By combining multiple sampling techniques, they showed that total microplastic mass can be accurately estimated even from limited size data, enabling more consistent pollution assessment and more efficient environmental monitoring in freshwater systems.

World-first cloud service makes full use of quantum computing capacity

The University of Osaka
Reports and Proceedings

Researchers from The University of Osaka, SEC, and Juntendo University have developed quantum multi-programming auto mode, a function that automatically runs quantum programs from different users in parallel. Implemented in OQTOPUS and launched on QIQB’s quantum computer cloud service, the system reduces idle qubit resources, improves throughput, and may help ease congestion in quantum cloud computing.
