PubMed is a free database of references and abstracts on life sciences and biomedical topics. The United States National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the National Institutes of Health maintains the database as part of the Entrez information retrieval system. PubMed was first released in January 1996.
As of 30 December 2011, PubMed has over 21.4 million records going back to 1966; about 500,000 new records are added each year. As of 1 December 2011, 12.3 million articles are listed with their abstracts, and 12.7 articles have links to full-text (of which 3.5 million articles are available full-text for free for any user).

PubMed On Tap enables you to search PubMed. The app keeps a history of past searches. Search results, including those with PDFs, can be emailed. In the pro version you can also configure an advanced search and avoid banner ads.

If you have any questions, you can write to [email protected]

Why have neural networks won the Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry?

This year, Artificial Intelligence played a leading role in the Nobel Prizes for Physics and Chemistry. More specifically, it would be better to say machine learning and neural networks, thanks to whose development we now have systems ranging from image recognition to generative AI like Chat-GPT. In this article, Chiara Sabelli tells the story of the research that led physicist and biologist John J. Hopfield and computer scientist and neuroscientist Geoffrey Hinton to lay the foundations of current machine learning.

The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John J. Hopfield, an American physicist and biologist from Princeton University, and to Geoffrey Hinton, a British computer scientist and neuroscientist from the University of Toronto, for utilizing tools from statistical physics in the development of methods underlying today's powerful machine learning technologies.
