New hardware could make future artificial intelligence much more compact and efficient
Low-energy self-regenerative fiber material could recover valuable metals from industrial wastewater
This image illustrates the brain regions in which differences were seen in people at clinical high risk who later developed psychosis. The darker blue areas indicate the more important brain regions for differentiating between the two main groups (healthy and those at clinical high risk who later developed psychosis).
