Mystery of phase change in sub-nanosecond-octahedra structure motif

(Science China Press) Phase change memory has been successfully applied in next-generation computer as storage class memory. However, the reversible phase change mechanism is still not clear yet. Recent paper published in SCIENCE CHINA Information Sciences proposes an octahedra structure motif theory, which clearly elucidates the inherent mystery.

Training artificial intelligence with artificial X-rays

(University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering) AI holds real potential for improving both the speed and accuracy of medical diagnostics -- but before clinicians can harness the power of AI to identify conditions in images such as X-rays, they have to 'teach' the algorithms what to look for. Now, U of T Engineering have designed a new approach: using machine learning to create computer generated X-rays to augment AI training sets.
