Insider Brief Researchers at Northwestern University and the National Institutes of Health suggest that the rise of generative AI should force a rethink of how plagiarism and research misconduct are defined in scientific writing. In a commentary published in Nature Machine Intelligence, Northwestern’s Mohammad Hosseini and NIH bioethicist David Resnick write that traditional definitions of […]
San Francisco startup Altara has raised $7 million in seed funding led by Greylock, with participation from Neo, BoxGroup, Liquid 2 Ventures, and Jeff Dean, to build an AI platform that unifies fragmented technical data for hardware-intensive industries including batteries, semiconductors, and medical devices. Founded in 2025 by Eva Tuecke, a former Fermilab physicist and […]
Engineers at Northwestern University have taken a striking leap toward merging machines with the human brain by printing artificial neurons that can actually communicate with real ones. These flexible, low-cost devices generate lifelike electrical signals capable of activating living brain cells, a breakthrough demonstrated in mouse brain tissue.
