In recent years, an increasing number of research articles have been published based on, and closely related to, digital psychiatry. The volume is now so great that it is time to gather these publications in a separate scientific journal fully dedicated to this area. So thought the journal’s editor-in-chief Jonas Eber

AI requires ever-larger data centres and ever more power. Now, researchers have developed an artificial neuron that operates using light and brings together several of the brain’s most important functions in a single component. The technology could eventually pave the way for more energy-efficient AI and intelligent sensors. Training today’s largest AI models requires enormous data centres filled

In 2022–2023, food prices in Sweden rose by 25 per cent. But it wasn't just households' wallets that were hit hard by the price increases – public health was too. Swedish consumers ate less dietary fibre, fruit and vegetables, according to a new report from Lund University. "A 25 per cent increase is historically unique. The last time food prices rose so much was in the 1950s, and interestingly, w
