The general consensus among motorists is that there will be more electric cars on UK roads by 2030 than diesels, a huge poll of drivers has found. By the time the ban on new petrol and diesel-engined cars comes into force at the end of this decade, drivers reckon there will be 6.5million EVs being … Read more

Online search activity taken from Google can help predict peaks in Covid-19 cases up to 17 days in advance, a new study reveals. Researchers from University College London created computer models based on online search query frequencies to gain insights about the prevalence of the disease in multiple countries, including the UK. Models based on … Read more
Temperature, humidity and wind could be used to predict another wave of coronavirus – with two outbreaks a year ‘inevitable’, scientists say Current forecasts only take into account only rate of transmission and recovery Cyprus-based researchers say this should also include weather conditions They were able to build a system which models and predicts second waves … Read more
Eyesight tests could be used to identify which people with Parkinson’s disease are likely to suffer from cognitive impairment and possible dementia 18 months later. UK researchers have found that people with Parkinson’s who perform less well in eye tests show worse cognitive performance a year and a half later. The study is one of … Read more
Facebook claims its AI can predict four days in advance if a coronavirus patient’s condition will deteriorate – just by looking at a single chest X-ray Facebook and NYU built AI to predict developments among COVID patients IT was trained with thousands of chest X-rays with and without COVID The software is based on a … Read more
A new eye test that uses artificial intelligence AI to study retina scans can predict age-related macular degeneration (AMD) three years before symptoms start. The first part of the ‘pioneering’ test, developed by researchers at University College London, is called DARC. DARC involves injecting dye into a person’s bloodstream to illuminate ‘stressed’ endothelial cells in … Read more
Buying a classic car can be a sound investment – providing better long-term returns than art, property and even gold, in some cases. However, financial gain is dependent on picking the right model that’s packed with potential to rise in value. Fortunately, there’s now a new annual market report to help petrol-heads buy the cars … Read more
