Let’s all think of a time when skin cancers can be detected to the earliest possible thus increasing the chances of surviving this catastrophic disease by 99 percent. Will this not mean a world of difference for patients diagnosed with skin cancer? Yes it will surely do when the early detection is accompanied with reaping off the various resource and time constraints that keep people from heading to the doctors early. This is exactly why two developers, Peter Ma, an independent developer and part of the Intel Software Innovator Program, along with co-founder Mike Borozdin had screened their own hands to create a free, artificial intelligence-powered screening program completely online. They developed an AI solution which has the same level of intelligence as that of a dermatologist and the power to determine and classify skin cancer types. The technology used is known as Doctor Hazel and uses deep-learning neural networks, pulling 8000 variables simultaneously to screen and classify skin cancer with 80 percent accuracy. It is now possible for anyone to go online and upload a picture of a concerning mole and obtain results within seconds. Thanks to the use of Intel’s Movidius Neural Compute Stick, an edge device that is able to classify cancer images in real time and offline, the AI solution has a wider applicability in places where internet access is scarce. This will in future empower the healthcare capabilities to improve quality of care for the patients as well as reduce time for physicians.

What is it that keeps our sun and other stars burning? It is the nuclear energy caused by nuclear fusion of hydrogen into the heavier element helium. The proponents of such nuclear fusion say that the energy has the capacity to make other types of electricity generation obsolete. It can lighten more than 700,000 average American homes by producing large amounts of electricity from relatively small amounts of the heavy hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium, which are relatively abundant in ordinary seawater. A UK-based nuclear fusion company, Tokamak Energy has heated for the first time a plasma of hydrogen to 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius) in a new reactor -hotter than the core of the sun. This test will create a milestone possibly by 2030 by producing commercial electricity from fusion power. The company also announced the creation of the superhot plasma inside its experimental ST40 fusion reactor which contains the fusion reaction inside powerful magnetic fields, in early June. The test has been a success so far which means the reactor will now be prepared next year for a test of even hotter plasma, of more than 180 million degrees.
