How much does it itch? That’s a question doctors often ask people with eczema and other itch-inducing ailments, but the answer is subjective and hard to quantify; like being asked to rate one’s pain using one of those emoji-face pain scales. Today researchers report in Science Advances a wearable sensor that can accurately quantify how much a person […]

Illustration: Eddie Guy In the past year, have you found yourself under stress? Have you ever wished for help coping? Imagine if, throughout the pandemic, you’d had a virtual therapist powered by an artificial intelligence (AI) system, an entity that empathized with you and gradually got to know your moods and behaviors. Therapy is just […]

Photo: Microsoft Three of the biggest companies making quantum computers today—Google, Intel, and Microsoft—are betting on supercooled devices operating at close to absolute zero. But there’s a problem: These cold cathedrals of quantum computing cannot tolerate the extra heat given off by the conventional computing chips that control them. This means the classical and quantum-computing […]
One of COVID-19’s nastiest tricks is the way it can infect someone and not cause any symptoms. This allows the virus to proliferate under the radar of contact tracers. But new artificial intelligence could help track down these silent carriers. In a paper published Friday in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers at Synergies Intelligent Systems and Universität […]
