AI framework cuts computing use by two-thirds while more than tripling success in virtual tasks

A research team led by professor Minhae Kwon of the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering has developed two core next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) technologies that enable AI systems to handle complex, long-horizon tasks more effectively while reducing computational costs and improving safety. The findings address key challenges that have hindered the commercialization of costly …

Cambridge scientists create a $10 chip that could put a medical lab on your wrist

Cambridge researchers have created a groundbreaking $10 optical sensor that delivers the precision of laboratory equipment in a device small enough for wearable technology. It identified foods, plastics, and medicines with 100% accuracy in tests and demonstrated the ability to monitor blood glucose, alcohol, and other health markers without invasive procedures.

People are taking an unapproved weight-loss drug. AI found something surprising

Researchers analyzing nearly 150,000 Reddit posts uncovered unexpected symptom reports linked by users to unapproved versions of retatrutide, including increased appetite, sleep disturbances, and elevated heart rates. The findings differ from clinical trial results and highlight how AI could help identify potential drug safety signals that warrant further investigation.
