When University of Washington graduate student Kate Glazko was on the hunt for research internships, she came across recruiters utilizing advanced artificial intelligence tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT to streamline the process of summarizing resumes and evaluating candidates. While automated resume screening has been a common practice in recruitment for many years, Glazko, an Allen School
The recent ransomware attack on London hospitals by the Russian group Qilin has caused significant damage and raised concerns about patient data security. The attack, which occurred on June 3, targeted the NHS provider Synnovis, leading to the cancellation of hundreds of operations and appointments in southeast London. The attack had a major impact on
The concept of warp drives, popularized by science fiction franchises, has captured the imagination of many. The idea of traveling faster than the speed of light without violating the laws of physics is indeed intriguing. The Alcubierre Drive, proposed by Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre in 1994, laid the foundation for the scientific exploration of warp
Autism spectrum disorder is a neurological condition that affects individuals in varying degrees, from milder symptoms to more profound cases that require lifelong supportive care. The disparity in symptoms among individuals with autism has long puzzled scientists and researchers. A recent study utilizing mini-brains developed in the lab sheds light on the biological foundations underlying
When it comes to discussing energy policies, it is essential to recognize the influence of emotions on decision-making. In a recent study published in Energy Policy, a team of psychologists, sociologists, and a lawyer delved into the role of emotions in determining people’s attitudes towards energy sources. One significant finding was the impact of individuals’
In 1993, three engineers came together at a Denny’s in San Jose with a dream to revolutionize the computer chip industry. Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem brainstormed the idea of creating a chip that would enhance graphics for video games, setting the foundation for what would become Nvidia. This initial conversation sparked a
A recent settlement in an Illinois lawsuit involving facial recognition startup Clearview AI has sparked controversy and raised concerns about privacy rights. The settlement, estimated to be worth more than $50 million, has created a unique agreement that gives plaintiffs a share of the company’s potential value rather than a traditional payout. The settlement, approved
Astronomy, a field often associated with studying the vastness of the universe, has been revolutionized by a mini satellite the size of a breadbox. This satellite, known as the CubeSat, is set to act as an artificial star for astronomers to observe from Earth. The Landolt Space Mission, approved by NASA with a budget of
Research conducted at Caltech has revealed a groundbreaking discovery in the world of microbiology. A new class of enzymes has been identified that allows certain bacteria to “breathe” nitrate in low-oxygen conditions, providing them with a crucial evolutionary advantage for survival. However, this process comes at a cost, as it produces nitrous oxide (N2O), a
Recent research conducted at Legnaro National Laboratory has shed light on the transfer of neutrons in weakly bound nuclei. The study, focusing on the one-neutron stripping process in reactions involving lithium-6 and bismuth-209, has been published in the journal Nuclear Science and Techniques. Contrary to previous beliefs, the research findings have shown that the one-neutron
DNA, often considered the blueprint of life, has taken on a new role in the field of materials science. Northwestern University researchers, led by Chad Mirkin, have shown that by manipulating DNA chemistry, they can alter its structure and flexibility to create new materials with applications in medicine and the life sciences. This groundbreaking study,
The analysis of COVID-19 cases has led researchers to discover a new immune response mechanism that plays a crucial role in protecting certain individuals from severe symptoms. While vaccines have been effective in reducing the risk of death and complications, they may not prevent the virus from establishing an initial presence in the nasal and
The recent ban imposed by the U.S. Commerce Department on the use of Kaspersky software has sparked a controversy, with the cybersecurity firm vehemently denying any security threat.
