Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) program that can automatically provide species-level identification of microscopic marine organisms. The next step is to incorporate the AI into a robotic system that will help advance our understanding of the world's oceans, both now and in our prehistoric past. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190206104535.htm

Marrow: This morning a crewmember collected Breath and Ambient air samples for the Marrow study. Marrow looks at the effect of microgravity on bone marrow. It is believed that microgravity, like long-duration bed rest on Earth, has a negative effect on the bone marrow and the blood cells that are produced in the bone marrow. … from ISS On-Orbit Status Report https://blogs.nasa.gov/stationreport/2019/02/05/iss-daily-summary-report-2-05-2019/

Discovering that your new designer handbag or gold watch is a fake is costly and annoying, and counterfeit medical devices or drugs could have even more serious consequences. But seemingly as soon as manufacturers develop a new method to ensure product authenticity, counterfeiters find a way to outsmart it. Now, researchers have created an 'unclonable' tag that can never be replicated, even by the manufacturer. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190206104605.htm

Vaccines have saved millions of lives, but nobody likes getting a shot. That's why scientists are trying to develop oral vaccines for infectious diseases. But to be effective, the vaccine must survive digestion and reach immune cells within the intestinal wall. Now, researchers have developed oral vaccines powered by micromotors that target the mucus layer of the intestine. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190206091345.htm
