Research by Lixian Guo at the University of Canterbury may make it possible to keep electronic devices powered with another piece of equipment you’re likely to bring with you while exploring the great outdoors: camping stoves. Guo’s work focuses on using the excess heat produced by stoves to create a thermoacoustic engine, which converts thermal energy into acoustic energy.
A team of Florida State University researchers led by Assistant Professor of Mathematics Bhargav Karamched has discovered that in a foraging ant’s search for food, it will leave pheromone trails connecting its colony to multiple food sources when they’re available, successfully creating the first model that explains the phenomenon of trail formation to multiple food sources.
New Jersey native Caterina Belle Azzarello-Nichols earned an M.A. from the University of Northern Colorado’s Educational Psychology program. Continuing in the program as a doctoral student, she’s conducting research in mathematics readability and student educational dispositions.
Nearly three dozen Binghamton University, State University of New York researchers have been honored for their work by a Stanford University study that looks at the impact of scientists worldwide. The recently released ranking has identified 33 current faculty who were among the top 2% of all researchers in the world in their fields in 2023.
New 2024 American Physical Society Fellow Jozef Dudek is pursuing theoretical descriptions of exotic hadrons, a yet-untallied group of short-lived subatomic cousins of the proton and neutron, those more familiar atomic building blocks.
The Hertz Foundation and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS) have jointly released a keynote talk, Where the Computational Paradigm Leads (in Physics, Tech, AI, Biology, Math, ...), by visionary mathematician Stephen Wolfram, delivered to members of the Hertz Foundation board of directors and invited guests at the Empowering Excellence: The Hertz Way event held October 18 at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Professor Étienne Ghys, Permanent Secretary of the French Academy of Sciences and Emeritus Research Director at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), delivered a thought-provoking HKIAS Distinguished Lecture on "Soccer Balls: Their History, Geometries, and Aerodynamics" on 30 October 2024 at City University of Hong Kong.

A UMD-Smith effort led by Clifford Rossi has produced a pair of mortgage credit risk indexes to guide lenders, servicers, credit investors, regulators and other market participants.
Chandrasekhar Putcha, Cal State Fullerton professor emeritus of civil and environmental engineering, has used math to answer the question on everyone’s minds every four years since 2008: Who will be the next U.S. president?
To run on a quantum computer, algorithms must be decomposed into a sequence of quantum gates, a difficult process. In this study, researchers developed a novel “hybrid” approach to quantum hardware design that replaces part of the quantum circuit with a physical evolution that relies on natural interactions within the system. This approach significantly reduces the complexity of executing quantum algorithms.
Originally developed for electric cars, nowadays they supply mobile phone antennas with electricity, and tomorrow perhaps entire districts: The salt battery is a safe and long-lasting battery technology with huge potential. Empa researchers are collaborating with an industrial partner to further develop these special batteries.
Biological components are less reliable than electrical ones, and rather than instantaneously receive the incoming signals, the signals arrive with a variety of delays.
A Rutgers University-New Brunswick professor who has devoted his career to resolving the mysteries of higher mathematics has solved two separate, fundamental problems that have perplexed mathematicians for decades. The solutions to these long-standing problems could further enhance our understanding of symmetries of structures and objects in nature and science, and of long-term behavior of various random processes arising in fields ranging from chemistry and physics to engineering, computer science and economics.
Argonne National Laboratory receives funding from the U.S. Department of Energy for two AI projects that aim to develop privacy-preserving and energy-efficient AI technologies, pushing the boundaries of scientific research and safeguarding sensitive data.
The Scientific Data and Computing Center (SDCC) at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory now stores more than 300 petabytes of data. That's far more data than would be needed to store everything written by humankind since the dawn of history — or, if you prefer your media in video format, all the movies ever created.
University of Utah mathematics and climate researchers are building new models for understanding the dynamics of sea ice, which is not as solid as you might think. One new study tracks alarming changes in the "marginal ice zone" surrounding the Arctic ice cap.
Houston Methodist researchers have developed an advanced mathematical model that predicts how novel treatment combinations could significantly extend progression-free survival for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the most common type of lung cancer.
More than 150 students and their mentors, as well as leaders from 20 STEM development organizations, gathered at Chicago’s Pullman State Historic Site on August 2 to showcase projects completed during summer STEM programs.
As AI is deployed in clinical centers across the U.S., one important consideration is to assure that models are fair and perform equally across patient groups and populations. To better understand the fairness of medical imaging AI, a team of researchers trained over 3,000 models spanning multiple model configurations, algorithms, and clinical tasks.
