One of the most agonizing experiences a cancer patient suffers is waiting without knowing: waiting for a diagnosis, waiting to get test results back, waiting to learn the outcome of treatment protocols. Now a researcher at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) is co-author of a paper in Nature Scientific Reports that studies the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and neuronal networks to significantly cut the time required for medical professionals to classify lesions in breast cancer ultrasound images.

Researchers from the Earth System Science Center (ESSC) at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) have partnered with atmospheric scientists from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) to make groundbreaking discoveries about gamma-ray emissions from thunderstorms. Once considered rare and short-lived, these high-energy bursts are now revealed to be far more dynamic, extensive and frequent than previously thought, particularly in tropical regions, according to the team鈥檚 findings, featured in the international science journal Nature.

Researchers at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) have employed a NASA open-source program to reveal that disadvantaged populations may be subject to greater heat stress and poor air quality. For this study, the researchers focused on Houston, Tex. Combining changes in heat and land cover with Houston's socioeconomic data demonstrated that economically disadvantaged populations are subject to greater heat stress.
