Artificial neural networks
Researchers at Pennsylvania State University have successfully developed a novel "chat-to-chip" workflow that enables the rapid design of arbitrarily shaped metasurfaces using large language models (LLMs). This breakthrough technique, published in a recent study, leverages pre-trained LLMs to sidestep the laborious process of building and training task-specific networks,
Mosquitoes
Recent research has shown that the sterile insect technique (SIT) is an effective method for controlling Aedes mosquito populations. SIT involves releasing large numbers of sterilized male mosquitoes, which then mate with females, preventing them from reproducing. This approach has been increasingly popular for controlling Aedes mosquitoes, which are vectors
Genomics
