MIT researchers found that vision-language models, widely used to analyze medical images, do not understand negation words like “no” and “not.” This could cause them to fail unexpectedly when asked to retrieve medical images that contain certain objects but not others.

The connection between a crumpled sheet of paper and quantum technology: A research team at the EPFL in Lausanne (Switzerland) and the University of Konstanz (Germany) uses topology in microwave photonics to make improved systems of coupled cavity arrays.

 

Clinicians from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and four other institutions have demonstrated that doctors can gain a wealth of knowledge about a patient’s cancer by using multiple laboratory techniques to study tumor tissue taken from needle biopsies of glioblastoma, a highly aggressive form of brain cancer.

EPFL researchers have developed an encapsulated cobalt-nickel alloy that significantly improves the efficiency and durability of high-temperature CO₂ conversion, a promising technology for carbon recycling and sustainable fuel production.

Researchers from Indiana University School of Dentistry have developed an app, in collaboration with the technical staff at the Regenstrief Institute, that connects dentists and medical providers to health information exchanges to access a patient’s medical history in a timely manner. The researchers received a National Institutes of Health grant to develop the app further and have partnered with the IU Innovation and Commercialization Office to disclose the technology and are currently exploring the best way to pilot the app in dental practices. it is critical that dentists have up-to-date medical and medication histories of their patients to reduce risk during procedures and ensure the success of the treatment.
