Computer program developed to find ‘leakage’ in quantum computers
A new computer program that spots when information in a quantum computer is escaping to unwanted states will give users of this promising technology the ability to check its reliability without any technical knowledge for the first time.
Schizophrenia can be caused by structural abnormality in adolescent brain associated with genetic risk
Schizophrenia could be caused by a genetic mutation that causes a structural abnormality in the brain during adolescence. Therefore testing for the gene SLC39A8, and brain scans for schizophrenia could predict whether or not someone will develop it - researchers at the University of Warwick have found.
Discovered: different brain areas linked to smoking and drinking
Academics at the University of Warwick have found that low functional connectivity of the lateral orbitofrontal cortex that is associated with the tendency to smoke is associated with increased impulsiveness - which may contribute to the tendency to smoke. The high connectivity of the reward-related medial orbitofrontal cortex in drinkers may increase the tendency to be attracted to the reward of alcohol consumption.
WMG to test new location system for intelligent vehicles
Intelligent vehicles and smart devices could gain more accurate location awareness by ‘fusing’ Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and WiFi signals – and a test for this is the focus of an Innovate UK project led by Spirent Communications and involving WMG at the University of Warwick.
£850,000 fund powers launch of Feuer International Scholarships in AI at University of Warwick
A half million pound donation by Warwick graduate, philanthropist and AI technology based entrepreneur Jonathan Feuer, matched with additional funding by the University of Warwick is powering the launch of the new the Feuer International Scholarships in AI for MPHil or PhD research students in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Warwick.
WMG establishes new Centre for Applied Artificial Intelligence
WMG, at the University of Warwick, is investing in data driven innovations with a new Centre for Applied Artificial Intelligence. The Centre will enable industry and business to leverage large volumes of digital information to gain competitive insights through Artificial Intelligence methods.
