According to a statement by the firm, the study showed that AI models trained on hand images achieve comparable accuracy to those using facial images, with an average error of 4.1 and 4.7 years in predicting chronological age.

The AI model in the study was primarily trained by employing the Indian population dataset to ensure representation of diverse skin tones and address AI’s bias challenges, especially pertaining to ethnicity-specific considerations in age prediction.

By focusing on the Indian population, the study aimed to develop an AI model tailored to this demographic, mitigating biases and promoting fairer AI solutions. Additionally, the research’s market relevance in India’s growing skincare and AI sectors underscores the strategic importance of using an Indian dataset for this study.

The research could open doors for personalized brain therapies to target and treat the worst kinds of chronic pain.

Superconductivity is reported in magic-angle twisted four-layer and five-layer graphene systems. While they find that all magic-angle graphene systems fit into a unified hierarchy of systems that share a set of flat bands in their electronic band structures, they also report that there is a key distinction between magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene and the other family members, related to the difference in the way the electrons move between the layers in a magnetic field.

Hopefully it won’t leave you.

This Earth Day, we looked at researchers pursuing safer alternatives to facilitate the implementation of energy storage solutions.

We’re likely still a month or so away from the next launch of SpaceX’s Starship megarocket.

That was the timeline Elon Musk offered in a post on X over the weekend, saying Starship’s next test flight is “probably 3 to 5 weeks” away. “Objective is for the ship to get past max heating, or at least further than last time,” the billionaire entrepreneur added.

In February, ransomware attackers targeted Chain Healthcare, the payment management arm of healthcare giant UnitedHealth Group, causing backlogs in prescription insurance claims.

Ransomware can be introduced to a company’s databases through even the smallest slip by an employee, like clicking a link in a phishing email. But as companies have gotten better at keeping criminals out, the crooks have gotten more creative, Mandiant CTO Charles Carmakal says.

The brain’s ability to rid itself of toxins may actually be reduced during sleep, contrary to the leading scientific theory.

Over the past decade, the leading explanation for why we sleep has been that it provides the brain with an opportunity to flush out toxins.

However, a new study led by scientists at the UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) at Imperial College London indicates that this may not be true.
