Little nuclear physics lab to tackle Department of Energy ’s big data problem
At risk of drowning in the output from its own facilities, the Department of Energy (DOE) plans to build a major new computing center specifically to crunch experimental data. The agency will construct a $305 million High Performance Data Facility at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) in Newport News, Virginia, officials announced last w eek. To be completed by 2028, the new data center marks an evolution in the agency’s approach to science and gives a new lease on life to JLab, a small lab that currently focuses on nuclear physics and accelerator development. “This is a major res...

AI model shows promise for interpreting follow-up chest x-rays
A group in Seoul, Korea, has developed an AI model that could help reduce radiology workflows by identifying “no changes” in follow-up chest x-rays of patients in critical care, according to a study published October 24 in Radiology.In a test set of 533 pairs of patient x-rays (baseline and follow-up), the algorithm was highly accurate when interpreting those that showed no changes, wrote first authors Jihye Yun, PhD, Yura Ahn, MD, of the University of Ulsan, and colleagues.“Radiologists routinely compare the current and previous chest radiographs during interpretation to enhance the sensitivity for change detection ...

COVID-19 AI model boosts disease detection by radiologists
A deep-learning (DL) AI algorithm designed to help clinicians diagnose COVID-19 has been validated in a study by radiologists who interpreted x-rays with and without the model, according to a study published October 16 in Scientific Reports.A team led by Takamichi Murakami, MD, PhD, of Kobe University in Kobe, Japan, found that the DL model was more accurate than six of eight radiologist readers and that the accuracy of the readers improved when they used the AI.“This DL model of CXRs may be useful, especially in areas where medical resources are limited,” the group wrote.While the development of vaccines and measures ...

U.S. regains the lead in friendly x-ray laser ‘arms race’
The United States has regained the global lead in x-ray lasers. The Linac Coherent Light Source II (LCLS-II), a so-called x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California, has produced its first flashes of x-rays, lab officials announced today. Supporting studies of everything from the structures of biomolecules to the conditions in the cores of planets, the upgraded machine will produce data 8000 times faster than the original LCLS and in some ways surpass its main rival, the European XFEL near Hamburg, Germany. “There isn’t anything you can do at the European XFEL that you ...
