Prenatal cannabis use and neonatal outcomes
JAMA NetworkPeer-Reviewed Publication
About The Study: Cannabis use in pregnancy was associated with greater odds of preterm birth, small for gestational age, and low birth weight even after adjusting for co-use of tobacco products, and confidence in these findings increased from low in the prior review to moderate in the current meta-analysis. The findings of this study may help inform patient counseling and future public health policies.

New Bayesian method enables rapid detection of quantum dot charge states
Advanced Institute for Materials Research (AIMR), Tohoku UniversityPeer-Reviewed Publication
A research team at Tohoku University’s Advanced Institute for Materials Research (WPI-AIMR) has developed a new technique to rapidly and accurately determine the charge state of electrons confined in semiconductor quantum dots—fundamental components of quantum computing systems. The method is based on Bayesian inference, a statistical framework that estimates the most likely state of a system using observed data.
