After a long day of work, nerve-inducing headlines, and strenuous exercise, all I want is sleep. That's when the lyrics of Hall and Oates' song, "When the Morning Comes," a tune mainly about rejection that can be interpreted as an ode to a good night's rest, come to mind: "It'll be all right when the morning comes," the duo sing.

But that may soon change. In a Nature Materials paper published August 8, researchers announced the development of a new type of solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) that addresses an underlying pr

An AI Model for the Brain Is Coming to the ICU

The Cleveland Clinic is partnering with San Francisco–based startup Piramidal to develop a large-scale AI model that will be used to monitor patients’ brain health in intensive care units. Instead of being trained on text, the system is based on electroencephalogram (EEG) data, which is collected via electrodes placed on the scalp and then read out by a computer in a series of wavy lines.
