USC researchers are pioneering an accessible AI education with a low-cost, customizable “robot friend” kit, aimed at demystifying AI technology for students. This hands-on approach, supported by the National Science Foundation, not only makes learning about robotics, machine learning, and ethics more engaging but also addresses the affordability gap in educational robotics.

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a light-based means of printing nano-sized metal structures that is significantly faster and cheaper than any technology currently available. It is a scalable solution that could transform a scientific field long reliant on technologies that are prohibitively expensive and slow.

Scientists have developed a sensor made from ‘frozen smoke’ that uses artificial intelligence techniques to detect formaldehyde in real time at concentrations as low as eight parts per billion, far beyond the sensitivity of most indoor air quality sensors.

Researchers have made use of experiments and computational modeling to study interactions between carbon molecules and clay minerals in the soil. They found that electrostatic charges, structural features of carbon molecules, surrounding metal nutrients in soil and competition among molecules all play major roles in the soil’s ability or inability to trap carbon.

Researchers have made use of a novel AI-based method called Drfold to enhance the accuracy of RNA models by more than 70 percent when compared to traditional approaches.

Researchers have developed a new therapy which selectively targets immune cells responsible for allergic responses. A pilot study was also carried out on mice and it was noted that the therapy demonstrated 100 % success in preventing allergic responses without causing noticeable side effects.

With the global population projected to reach nearly 10 billion by 2050, prioritizing rapid and accurate monitoring is crucial. Researchers emphasize the need for collaboration across various fields, including agronomy, engineering, medicine, and materials science, to harness the full potential of new technologies.

Researchers from the University of California San Diego have crafted materials that illuminate upon experiencing mechanical stress, inspired by bioluminescent waves from dinoflagellates observed during red tide events. These innovative materials, made from dinoflagellates and a seaweed polymer, require no external power and can be shaped using 3D printers.

Air quality in the office may affect our level of creativity at work, scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have found.

Researchers have developed new virtual reality goggles for mice. With the help of these immersive googles, they aim to accurately and precisely study the neural circuitry that underlies behavior.
