AI Helps Cardiologists Halve the Time Needed for Interpreting Heart Scans

A few minutes saved during a medical examination may seem insignificant, but across hundreds of patients, the difference can become substantial. Artificial intelligence is now offering cardiologists a way to reduce the time spent examining heart images, potentially making cardiovascular services more efficient. The technology is gaining attention following research presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2026. Scientists investigated whether computers could prepare useful medical interpretations that doctors could review instead of starting every report from scratch. The experiment focused on echocardiography, a procedure that uses ultrasound to show the heart in motion. These images help medical professionals…

Musk Announces Smaller Battery, Greater Range for Tesla Cybercab

Running a fleet of self-driving taxis requires more than just reliable vehicles. Companies must also consider electricity costs, maintenance and how long each vehicle can remain on the road. Tesla appears to be addressing some of these challenges with a planned upgrade to its Cybercab, which could make the autonomous vehicle cheaper and more efficient to operate. Elon Musk revealed on November 7 that Tesla is working on a new Cybercab version expected in 2027. One of the biggest changes will be its battery capacity. Instead of the 47.6 kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery found in the current model, the updated vehicle…

Scientists Develop New Tech to Shrink EV Batteries While Extending Range Farther

A new scientific development could help electric vehicles cover more distance without carrying large battery packs. South Korean scientists have introduced a battery design improvement that could make future electric cars lighter, more efficient, and capable of lasting longer. The discovery comes from scientists at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST), who are working to improve an emerging battery design called an anode-free battery. This technology has attracted interest because it removes some of the materials found in ordinary batteries, creating additional room for storing energy. Despite its potential, the design has faced difficulties during repeated charging.…
