New AI Model May Predict Success Of Future Fusion Experiments, Saving Money And Fuel
What this means in real time is that researchers using these maps do not know if there are any errors or issues ahead of them, nor do they know if these errors are part of the research design. Nevertheless, this is all they have to work with, so they have to make a decision based on this limited information, and doing so will always have high costs in terms of the ignition attempt, which is expensive.
To overcome this, the team at the NIF created a new way to create these “maps” by merging past data with high-fidelity physics simulations and the knowledge of experts. This was then fed into a supercomputer that ran statistical assessments in the course of over 30 million CPU hours. Effectively, this allows the researchers to see all the ways that things can go wrong and to pre-emptively assess their experimental designs. This saves a lot of time and, more importantly, money.
The team tested this approach on an experiment they ran in 2022, and, after a few changes to the model’s physics, was able to predict the outcome with an accuracy above 70 percent.
Wheel-legged robotic system moves more efficiently in a wide range of environments
Most existing robots designed to move on the ground rely on either wheels or legs, as opposed to a combination of the two. Yet robots that can seamlessly switch between wheeled and legged locomotion could be highly advantageous, as they could move more efficiently on a wider range of terrains, which could in turn contribute to the successful completion of missions.
US firm builds Iran’s Shahed-like drone with 100-pound payload power
US firm unveils Iran’s Shahed-style kamikaze drone with 100-pound payload power.
Alabama-based drone manufacturer Griffon Aerospace has unveiled its latest unmanned aircraft system, the MQM-172 Arrowhead, a drone designed to operate as both a high-performance target platform and a configurable strike asset.
Daniel Beck, Airworthiness Manager and Program Manager at Griffon Aerospace, said in a social media statement that the Arrowhead is developed to provide customers with a flexible, dual-role system that can adapt to changing mission demands.
FDA Okays AI-Based Prostate Cancer Risk-Stratification Tool
The US FDA has granted De Novo marketing authorization for ArteraAI Prostate (Artera, Los Altos, California), a novel artificial intelligence (AI)-powered risk-stratification tool for patients with nonmetastatic prostate cancer.
The authorization means the digital pathology software tool is recognized as an FDA-regulated Software as a Medical Device, Artera explained in a press release.
De Novo authorization provides a marketing pathway to classify low-or moderate-risk novel medical devices. The De Novo authorization for this specific test establishes a new product code category for future AI-powered digital pathology risk-stratification tools and enables implementation at the point of diagnosis at qualified US pathology labs, the company said.
The test analyzes digital pathology images from patients’ biopsy slides to predict long-term outcomes, such as 10-year risk for metastasis and mortality. This can help direct treatment decisions.

ChatGPT in Your Clinic: Who’s the Expert Now
Patients arriving at appointments with researched information is not new, but artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT are changing the dynamics.
Their confident presentation can leave physicians feeling that their expertise is challenged. Kumara Raja Sundar, MD, a family medicine physician at Kaiser Permanente Burien Medical Center in Burien, Washington, highlighted this trend in a recent article published in JAMA.
A patient visited Sundar’s clinic reporting dizziness and described her symptoms with unusual precision: “It’s not vertigo, but more like a presyncope feeling.” She then suggested that the tilt table test might be useful for diagnosis.
Occasionally, patient questions reveal subtle familiarity with medical jargon. This may indicate that they either have relevant training or have studied the subject extensively.
(Artificial Intelligence is the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by men — Marvin Minsky. Google helps you gain information with a search engine. AI helps you gain information through algorithms. It is the same thing. However people profit from ignorance).
Patients are showing up with ChatGPT-generated diagnoses, challenging physicians to balance empathy, evidence, and authority in the exam room.
