Identification of molecular quantum states using phase-sensitive forces
The identification of molecular quantum states becomes challenging with increasing complexity of the molecular level structure. Here, the authors non-destructively identified excited molecular states of the $${{\rm{N}}}_{2}^{+}$$ N 2 + by interfering forces applied to both the molecular ion and to a co-trapped atomic ion.
Scientists demonstrate first ‘plug and play’ brain prosthesis in a paralyzed person
The participant used the system to control a cursor on a screen using just their brain, and without requiring extensive daily recalibrating of the AI.

Here are the biased algorithms the UK government uses to make high-level decisions
The recent use of an algorithm to calculate the graduating grades of secondary school students in England provoked so much public anger at its perceived unfairness that it’s widely become known as the “A-levels fiasco.” As a result of the outrage – a
Assessment of dysplasia in bone marrow smear with convolutional neural network
Delivering the potential of artificial intelligence in clinical decision-making will require testing interventions in well-designed randomized clinical trials and reporting these results in a standardized and transparent fashion.
Population sequencing enhances understanding of tea plant evolution
Tea is an important beverage crop with a large and heterozygous genome. Here, the authors assemble the genome of the cultivar Longjing 43 and conduct a population genetics study to reveal divergent selection for disease resistance and flavor between the two variety groups.
