The Belgian teenage scientist, who finished high school at 8 and earned a doctorate in quantum physics at 15, is expected to join Bar-Ilan University research labs, driven by an ambition to extend human life and an admiration for Israeli science At…
Most experts believe a hybrid approach is the most likely future. AI can handle routine, high-volume tasks like initial acne diagnoses, freeing up human dermatologists to focus on complex cases, rare conditions, surgical procedures, and patients requiring personalized, empathetic care.
While the spotlight often shines brightest on AI’s impact in medicine, its transformative power extends far beyond drug discovery. AI scientific discovery is rapidly reshaping fields like materials science and climate research, opening up entirely new avenues for innovation that…
A surgical treatment commonly used to reduce epileptic seizures in adults also is effective and safe for children, according to a Rutgers study. The study, published in the journal Neurosurgery, is one of the first to investigate responsive neurostimulation system…
A new coordinate-based network mapping study suggests that the scattered gray matter abnormalities reported in idiopathic generalized epilepsy converge most consistently on a subcortical functional network centered on the thalamus and putamen.
