A team of Lehigh University optimization experts, led by Tamás Terlaky, will work on optimizing algorithms for quantum computing with a $2.1M DARPA grant. They aim to demonstrate that quantum computers can surpass classical computers on certain problems.
A South African study reveals that most teenagers who leave children's homes do not engage in criminal activities, with about three-quarters reporting no involvement. However, a small percentage of care-leavers commit more serious incidents of crime, often driven by survival needs.
A new molecular imaging technique, PSMA PET/CT, is more accurate than conventional medical imaging in detecting prostate cancer spread. The approach helps doctors tailor treatments by identifying disease extent at diagnosis.
Researchers at the University of Birmingham have identified a key mechanism to clear damaged mitochondria, which contributes to age-related decline in muscle function. The study suggests that activating AMPK with drugs or exercise may stimulate mitochondrial clearance, keeping muscles healthy and prolonging physical capabilities.
