Researchers reported on January 7 in Nature Medicine that AI-assisted mammogram analysis helped doctors detect one additional cancer case for every 1,000 women screened compared to when the technology wasn’t used. This finding comes from the largest real-world study on AI’s role in breast cancer screening, which involved nearly 500,000 women in Germany. The results
This week, U.S. AI giants received a stark wake-up call as emerging Chinese company DeepSeek erased an unprecedented trillion dollars from the valuations of industry leaders like Nvidia and OpenAI. The established tech players are shaken—and for good reason—since DeepSeek’s R1 model proves that the expensive, traditional path is no longer the sole option for
When you sleep and dream, your brain may undergo a “rinse cycle,” clearing out toxic by-products to prepare for the next day. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have now mapped the flow of neurotransmitters, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid in mice, uncovering how this process works—and revealing that common sleep drugs like Ambien may disrupt
