Study in UK: The UK government has announced its plan to improve the nation's AI capabilities. After the announcement by the UK government, the Minister for AI and Digital Government, Feryal Clark MP, visited the DAWN supercomputer facility at the University of Cambridge.

Feryal Clark MP was welcomed by Dr Paul Calleja, Director of Research Computing Services and Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research, Professor John Aston at the University of Cambridge.

"DAWN is currently the most powerful AI supercomputer in the UK, with more than a thousand top-end Intel graphics processing units (GPUs) operating inside its server stacks. The supercomputer’s bespoke innovations in hardware and software result from a long-term co-design partnership between the Cambridge Open Zettascale Lab, directed by Dr Paul Calleja, and global tech leaders Intel and Dell Technologies, with support from the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), StackHPC and UK Research & Innovation," reads the university statement.

Cambridge Links Loneliness With Heart Disease And Stroke

A team led by scientists at the University of Cambridge found that interactions with family and friends are significant for the heart health and immune system.

Dr Chun Shen from the Department of Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Cambridge and the Institute of Science and Technology for Brain-Inspired Intelligence, at Fudan University, said, “We know that social isolation and loneliness are linked to poorer health, but we’ve never understood why. Our work has highlighted a number of proteins that appear to play a key role in this relationship, with levels of some proteins in particular increasing as a direct consequence of loneliness."

Professor Jianfeng Feng from the University of Warwick said, "There are more than 100,000 proteins and many of their variants in the human body. AI and high throughput proteomics can help us pinpoint some key proteins in prevention, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis in many human diseases and revolutionise the traditional view of human health."
