MIT researchers design a novel encryption method that secures data used in online neural networks
A combination of two encryption techniques may one day allow neural networks to have their computing cake and eat it, too. An article in Science Daily stated that the new technique improves the security of cloud-based machine learning without incurring any penalties in speed. Machine learning requires a lot of computational power. Convolutional neural networks, for […]

New biosynthetic spider silk behaves like the real thing … and scientists say they’re about to make it even stronger
There are very few things in nature that are stronger and tougher than the silk that makes up spiderwebs. An article in Science Daily stated that Washington-based researchers have not only managed to biologically synthesize a version of spider silk, they also know how to improve it even further. In its natural form, spider silk […]

Electroacupuncture found to ease nausea and vomiting in ICU patients recovering from chemotherapy
Refractory vomiting is just one of many complications endured by patients confined to intensive care units (ICU) due to chemotherapy and other major medical treatments. But relief may be coming in the form of transcutaneous electroacupuncture (TEA) therapy that can alleviate the worst symptoms of persistent vomiting. Earlier studies have shown that TEA can reduce episodes of nausea […]

Looking at alternative approaches to pest control
In response to the devastating huanglongbing disease sweeping through California’s citrus orchards, researchers are testing a biological control program. They are using two wasps from Asia that are natural enemies of the Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri), an invasive species of insect that spreads the bacteria responsible for the disease. The study was supported by the University of California Riverside. […]
