This Asthma Treatment May Offer a Way to Eliminate Severe Food Allergies

Food, Healthcare /

A widely used asthma drug might help prevent deadly food allergy reactions, according to a multi-year study by Northwestern University researchers. They discovered a previously unknown biological trigger for anaphylaxis—the severe allergic reaction often caused by foods like milk, eggs, peanuts, shellfish, and wheat. Asthma Drug Zileuton Shows Promise for Treating Food Allergies; Human Trials […]

How States are Setting Boundaries for AI Amid Limited Federal Oversight

Artificial Intelligence, Tech /

With little federal regulation in place, U.S. state legislatures have become the primary arenas for establishing safeguards around artificial intelligence. The clear rejection in Congress of a proposed pause on state-level AI laws has effectively left states free to keep addressing the regulatory void. Several states have already passed laws governing AI, and all 50

Will Artificial Intelligence Need a Physical Body to Achieve Human-Like Intelligence?

Artificial Intelligence, Tech /

The first robot I recall is Rosie from The Jetsons, quickly followed by the sophisticated C-3PO and his loyal companion R2-D2 in The Empire Strikes Back. But the first AI I encountered without a physical form was Joshua—the computer in WarGames that nearly triggered a nuclear war, only to change course after learning about mutually

Enabling Data Storage to Evolve Alongside the AI Revolution

Artificial Intelligence, Tech /

Artificial intelligence is reshaping how businesses manage and access their data. Unlike traditional storage built for simple tasks, modern AI requires millions of agents to access and process massive data simultaneously. Older systems have complex layers that delay AI by forcing data through multiple stages before reaching the GPUs. To meet AI’s demands, Cloudian—founded by

AI Aids Chemists in Creating More Durable Plastics

Artificial Intelligence, Tech /

A new approach developed by researchers at MIT and Duke University could enhance the strength of polymer materials, potentially resulting in more durable plastics and a reduction in plastic waste. By applying machine learning, the team discovered crosslinker molecules that, when integrated into polymers, improve their ability to resist tearing. These crosslinkers are mechanophores—molecules that
