What if you could diagnose cancer with an x-ray technique for detecting explosives?

Plus: Electric school buses are cleaner and cheaper to maintain. Sep 10, 2022 [Blueprint]( What if you could diagnose cancer early? That would go a long way in treating it more effectively. Now, researchers at University College London (UCL) in the UK have created a novel x-ray technique for detecting explosives that might also be used to identify tumors. The potentially early-stage fatal tumors in humans could be noticed by the new x-ray method that collaborates with a deep-learning Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm to detect explosives in luggage. But first, let’s look at how these mechanics disassembled a car to make it lighter and faster. Good morning. I’m Loukia, an Editor at IE. This is The Blueprint. Let’s dive in.

[Must Read]MUST READ [A new AI-powered x-ray technique for detecting explosives could identify cancer]( [luggage]( Researchers at University College London (UCL) in the UK have created a novel x-ray technique that can be used to identify tumors. The potentially early-stage fatal tumors in humans could be noticed by the new x-ray method that collaborates with a deep-learning Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm to detect explosives in luggage. "The AI is exceptionally good at picking up these materials even when they're hidden inside other objects," said Sandro Olivo, study lead author from the UCL's Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering. "Even if we hide a small quantity of explosive somewhere because there will be a little bit of texture in the middle of many other things, the algorithm will find it."

As of March 2022, 415 school districts or contracted fleet operators had committed to deploy 12,275 electric school buses in a wide range of settings, from large cities to rural counties, across 38 states and lands of two Native American tribes.
