Artificial Intelligence: A type of knowledge-based decision-making demonstrated by a machine or computer. The term also refers to a field of research in which scientists seek to create machines and computer software capable of intelligent behavior.
Atom: Basic unit of chemical elements. Atoms consist of a dense nucleus containing positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons. The nucleus of an atom is orbited by a cloud of negatively charged electrons.
Bias: A tendency to hold a particular point of view or preference in favor of something, a group of things, or a choice of things. Scientists often “blind” test subjects to test details so that their biases do not influence the results.
Biomedical Science: A field of research that explores the biological basis of injuries and diseases and their treatments.
Black Hole: A region of space with a gravitational field so strong that no matter or radiation (including light) can escape.
Computer Science: A scientific study of the principles and uses of computers. Scientists who work in this field are known as computer scientists.
Development: (in engineering) The growth or change of something, whether an idea or a prototype product.
Digital: (in computer science and engineering) something developed numerically on a computer or other electronic device based on the binary system (all numbers are represented using a series of only 0s and 1s). An adjective that indicates something.
Internet: Electronic communication network. It allows computers around the world to link to other networks to find information, download files, and share data (including images).
Large Language Model: (In computing) Language models are a type of machine learning. They try to predict the next word (text or audio) and present that prediction using words that almost anyone should be able to understand. The model learns this by reviewing large amounts of text and audio. As the name suggests, large language models are trained using vast amounts of data. They use special methods to organize and understand their data.
Machine Learning: A method in computer science that allows computers to learn from examples and experience. Machine learning is the basis of several forms of artificial intelligence (AI). For example, a machine learning system might compare X-rays of lung tissue from cancer patients and compare whether and how long the patient survived after receiving a particular treatment. In the future, AI systems may be able to examine new patients’ lung scans to predict how well they will respond to treatment.
Magnetic Field: An area of influence created by the movement of a certain substance or electric charge, called a magnet.
Model: A simulation (usually using a computer) of a real-world event developed to predict one or more possible outcomes. Or an individual whose purpose is to show how something works or looks like to another person.
Molecule: An electrically neutral group of atoms that represents the smallest possible amount of a compound. Molecules can be made up of a single type of atom or different types of atoms. For example, oxygen in air has two oxygen atoms (O2). However, water has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H2O).
Network: A group of interconnected people or things. (v.) The act of connecting with others who work in a particular field or are doing similar things (artists, business leaders, medical support groups, etc.). This is often done by going to meetings where such people gather and chatting with them. (n. networking)
Neural Network: Also called neural net. A computer program designed to manage large amounts of data in a complex manner. These systems consist of many (perhaps millions) of simple, tightly linked connections within a computer. Each connection or node can perform simple operations. Several more nodes in another layer are ready to accept the newly processed data and act on it in some other way. The general concept of networks was initially loosely patterned around the way neurons function in the brain to process signals that lead to thinking and learning.
Neuron: Major cell types of the nervous system: the brain, spinal column, nerves. These specialized cells transmit information by generating, receiving, and conducting electrical signals. Neurons can also send signals to other cells using chemical messengers.
Nobel Prize: A prestigious award named after Alfred Nobel. Nobel, best known as the inventor of dynamite, was a wealthy man when he died on December 10, 1896. In his will, Nobel left much of his fortune to award prizes to those who have done the best for humanity in the fields of physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace. The winner will receive a medal and a large cash prize.
Node: A person or thing on a network.
Particle: A trace amount of something.
Physics: The scientific study of the nature and properties of matter and energy. Classical physics explains the nature and nature of matter and energy based on descriptions such as Newton’s laws of motion. Quantum physics, a field of study that emerged later, is a way to more precisely describe the motion and behavior of matter. Scientists working in such fields are known as physicists.
Protein: A compound made from a long chain of one or more amino acids. Proteins are an essential part of all living organisms. They form the basis of living cells, muscles, and tissues. They also work inside cells. Antibodies, hemoglobin, and enzymes are all examples of proteins. Drugs often work by adsorbing to proteins.
Risk: The probability or mathematical probability that something bad will happen. For example, exposure to radiation poses a risk of cancer. Or danger, or danger itself. (for example: The cancer risks people faced included drinking water contaminated with radiation and arsenic.. )
System: A network of parts that work together to accomplish some function. For example, blood, blood vessels, and the heart are the main components of the human body’s circulatory system. Similarly, trains, platforms, tracks, road signals, and elevated tracks are among the potential components of a country’s railway system. Systems can also apply to processes and ideas that are part of a method or ordered sequence of steps for completing a task.
Technology: The application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry, or the devices, processes, and systems resulting from such efforts.
