DiaCardia, a novel artificial intelligence model that can accurately identify individuals with prediabetes using either 12-lead or single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) data, has been recently developed. This breakthrough holds promise for future home-based prediabetes screening using consumer wearable devices, without requiring invasive blood tests. This study emphasizes the utility of the ECG as a powerful biomarker and highlights that the innovative AI model can contribute to the prevention of diabetes.
A £3.5 million UK-Japan research project will transform sign language AI by ensuring training is on real conversations between Deaf people, not interpreted signing.
Scientists have developed a new way to fabricate three-dimensional nanoscale devices from single-crystal materials using a focused ion beam instrument. The group used this new method to carve helical-shaped devices from a topological magnet composed of cobalt, tin, and sulfur.
Researchers report a room-temperature organic microcavity where two different forms of spin–orbit coupling act together to produce the optical spin Hall effect (OSHE), a way to route light based on its polarization “spin”. By tuning photon momentum (viewing angle), they observe two coexisting spin textures in one device: a quadrupole pattern at high momentum and a mirror-symmetric pattern at low momentum. The hybrid effect also sustains a long-lived polarization bias of about 300 picoseconds, pointing to robust polarization control for future spin-photonic and topological photonic technologies.
