Antchain FAIR platform launches Trusted Computing architecture based on Zero-knowledge proof

[World Wide Web Technology Report] On July 8, at the 2023WAIC Global Blockchain Industry Summit Forum, Antchain announced that AntChainFAIR, a privacy collaboration platform, would upgrade its new architecture, introduce verifiable computing technology with Zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) as the core, and expand from trusted data flow to the verifiability of computing process, data attributes, and identity. It is understood that this is an important upgrade to the core architecture of the FAIR platform after improving its large-scale computing capabilities last year, and it is also a continuous breakthrough for Ant Chain in the field of Web3 technology...

Researchers of You'an Hospital questioned the real world research of Xiangya: is Azvudine really a magic drug?

Researchers of You'an Hospital questioned the real world research of Xiangya: is Azvudine really a magic drug?

Previously, several researchers from Xiangya Hospital made unremitting efforts to use the data of the same group of COVID-19 patients hospitalized in Xiangya, left to right, and issued three papers to demonstrate that Azvudine is effective in COVID-19 patients, not only effective, but also more effective than P drug.When we tested the data, we found that the data of the same group of patients were contradictory in several papers, which made the reliability of these studies quite suspicious (suspected fraud! Tear off the mask of Azvudine's effectiveness in the real world)...
