AI promises to ramp up PCR tests for faster DNA diagnostics and forensics

Promising new inroads into critical DNA testing has been forecast by experts who have applied machine learning to DNA profiling. From medical diagnostics to forensic tests and national security, PCR (polymerase chain reaction) DNA profiling has revolutionised high-throughput sampling this century — but little has changed since it was developed in the 1980s.

Simulation mimics how the brain grows neurons, paving the way for future disease treatments

A new computer simulation of how our brains develop and grow neurons has been built. Along with improving our understanding of how the brain works, researchers hope that the models will contribute to neurodegenerative disease research and, someday, stem cell research that helps regenerate brain tissue.

Can advanced AI can solve visual puzzles and perform abstract reasoning?

Artificial Intelligence has learned to master language, generate art, and even beat grandmasters at chess. But can it crack the code of abstract reasoning –t hose tricky visual puzzles that leave humans scratching their heads? Researchers are putting AI’s cognitive abilities to the test, pushing the multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) to solve visual problems once reserved for human IQ tests. The result? A glimpse into how far AI has come — and where it still stumbles.
