DNA sequencing reduces diagnostic times and curbs AMR
The UK’s first, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulation Authority (MHRA) and the BARTS Health NHS Trust have developed a DNA sequencing approach that can be implemented in hospitals in the field, allowing for faster and more accurate diagnosis of bacterial infections. DNA sequencing helps physicians provide faster and better targeted treatments. For patients, this […]
New TUM training model reduces AI energy consumption
However, the energy consumption of AI systems, particularly large-scale language models (LLM), has raised concerns about sustainability. These systems rely on data centers that require huge amounts of power for computing, storage and data transmission. In Germany alone, data centers consumed approximately 16 billion kWh in 2020. This accounts for about 1% of the country’s […]
