Tufts launches the Cybersecurity Center for the Public Good with a $2.6 million initial investment, dedicated to helping people achieve security and privacy in their online interactions, and making sure that laws and policies support and incentivize online security and privacy.
Indiana University has selected Symplectic Elements as its new faculty activity management and reporting system.
A new study reveals the surprisingly convergent evolution in the inner ear of mammals. An international research team led by Nicole Grunstra from the University of Vienna and Anne Le Maître from the Konrad Lorenz Institute (KLI) for Evolution and Cognition Research (Klosterneuburg) showed that a group of highly divergent mammals known as Afrotheria and distantly related, but ecologically very similar mammals independently evolved similar inner ear shapes. The study has just been published in the prestigious journal Nature Communications.
Machine learning algorithms significantly outperform human judgment in detecting lying during high-stakes strategic interactions, according to new research from the University of California San Diego’s Rady School of Management. The study can have major implications for the spread of misinformation, as machine learning could be used to bolster efforts to reduce fictitious content on major platforms like YouTube, Tik-Tok and Instagram.
As Utah’s Great Salt Lake shrinks, exposing more of its playa, concerns grow about the dust the dry lakebed emits. University of Utah scientists find sediments in the exposed lakebed show elevated 'oxidative potential,' indicating greater risk to human health.
Greg Hammett and Bill Dorland have been awarded the 2024 James Clerk Maxwell Prize for Plasma Physics for their pioneering work on turbulence in plasma, a key challenge in the quest for fusion energy.
A Texas A&M AgriLife Research team is working to find crop varieties, starting with sorghum, that will minimize that escaped nitrogen, thus reducing input costs for farmers and greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.
Understanding and controlling heat flow is critical for many applications, especially for electronics. As these devices become smaller, the interfaces between materials often become the bottleneck to removing heat.
Research by the University of Pittsburgh shows that state and federal appropriations allowing Pennsylvania to treat abandoned mine drainage works to both successfully and cost effectively clean up acidic water. But their research also shows funding is insufficient for long-term treatment for mine drainage and other abandoned mine hazards
The electric grid is becoming more dynamic, including two-way connections with electric vehicles and grid storage.
A flexible screen inspired, in part, by squid can store and display encrypted images like a computer—using magnetic fields rather than electronics. The research is reported in Advanced Materials by University of Michigan engineers.
SpaceX’s first commercial space mission, Polaris Dawn, arrived home safely and officially made history. ...
Glen Hood, Ph.D., assistant professor of biological sciences in Wayne State University’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, was recently awarded a National Science Foundation grant for his study of parasitic wasps.
As high-tech companies ramp up construction of massive data centers to meet the business boom in artificial intelligence, one component is becoming an increasingly rare commodity: electricity. With decades of experience in making HPC more energy efficient, the OLCF may serve as a resource for best “bang for the buck” practices in a suddenly burgeoning industry.
The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) announces the 2024 recipients of its CARES Award, which supports researchers in their caregiving role and enables them to focus on their professional development and career advancement.
A research team has developed an innovative and sustainable method to extract collagen from sardine bones using water extracts from banana peels, a common agricultural waste in Malaysia.
A research team has developed a groundbreaking model for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) that directly internally reform ethanol, offering new avenues for clean, efficient power generation.
A research team examines the extent of damage and associated costs on the 2020 Labor Day wildfires in Washington, Oregon, and California, comparing with the historical impact of megafires in these states.
Wellesley team’s new research on anesthesia unlocks important clues about the nature of consciousness
