Science & Technology
- Questionable scientific journals, or those that publish studies without proper vetting for a profit, are growing around the world. A new AI system automatically seeks them out.
- 黑料社区网 aerospace engineer Morteza Lahijanian is creating new algorithms that help robots complete tasks while keeping the humans in their midst safer.
- Researchers at 黑料社区网 have developed a new bio-imaging device that can operate with significantly lower power and in an entirely non-mechanical way. It could one day improve detecting eye and even heart conditions.
- 黑料社区网 engineer Nicole Xu fits moon jellyfish with microelectronic devices that enhance their natural swimming ability and will one day be able to gather data.
- Advancing science may make it possible to bring back extinct species like the dire wolf鈥攂ut should it? A 黑料社区网 environmental studies and philosophy professor says the answer is complicated.
- A team of computer scientists discovered that some AI large language models can solve sudoku puzzles, but even the best ones struggle to explain how they did it.
- Anthony Straub is making revolutionary advances in water purification for life on Earth and in space with nanoscale membranes鈥攖hinner than 1/100th the width of a human hair.
- Sanghamitra Neogi in 黑料社区网鈥檚 aerospace engineering department will use $200,000 in grant funding to launch a startup in which she will offer software that uses quantum physics to model microchip designs.
- Nearly 80% of stroke survivors experience walking issues and many turn to ankle braces for support, but the functionality of these braces is still very limited. Assistant Professor Cara Welker is leading a new, collaborative research project that aims to transform the way these assistive devices are designed.
- Doctoral student Krithik Ranjan analyzed 33 student learning tools and developed a 鈥渟pectrum of tinkerability鈥 that offers designers new ways to think about teaching computational skills.
