Transforming Atmospheric Science with Insights into Gas Dynamics
Professor Vladimir Kossov's team combined experiments and modelling to map when gas mixtures containing a greenhouse gas switch from slow diffusion to convective mixing.
Need a Plan Quickly? This Smart System Has You Covered
Dr. Ilche Georgievski and Professor Marco Aiello present SH, an open-source AI planning system that breaks complex tasks into steps and connects to other software as a web service.
A Smarter Way to Drive That Makes Your Battery Last Longer
Dr. Simona Onori and Dr. William Chueh found that electric vehicle battery cells cycled with realistic, varying driving loads lasted substantially longer than cells tested under steady constant-current discharge.
A Simple Idea That Solves Complex Problems in System Modelling
Professor Yun Li's team built a grey-box model that combines physical laws with neural networks and found it modelled a cleanroom temperature control system better than conventional approaches.
Traffic Crashes Are Stealing Your Time and Money. Here’s How
Professor Becky Loo and Ting Lian used taxi GPS data to measure crash-caused traffic delays in Hong Kong, finding road networks and urban surroundings explain delays better than crash details.
This futuristic technology could change how we repair injuries forever
Dr. Nabanita Saikia reviews how inorganic nanoparticles and biomaterials such as bioactive glass can serve as scaffolds helping stem cells rebuild bone, nerve, skin and cartilage, while noting open safety questions.
AI-aided New Detection Tech That Could Change Surveillance Forever
Professor Cai Wen's team built a radar network trained on simulated data and fine-tuned with a few real samples, which picked out weak moving targets amid clutter in simulations.
Keeping the Lights On: A New Era of Power Grid Protection
Gary Hahn and colleagues at Oak Ridge National Laboratory built Cyber Grid Guard, a ledger-secured backup system that detected and confirmed every tested fault type in a simulated substation.
Robotic artificial muscles bring us closer to lifelike human movements
Professor Ning Xi's team built an artificial muscle from gel-coated twisted strings that stiffens as it twists faster, letting it adjust stiffness and force in a way resembling human muscle.
Innovative microneedle technology for penetration depth control
Dr. Maryam Mobed-Miremadi's team designed printed hollow microneedles with a built-in stopper that limits how deep they penetrate, giving consistent depth in skin-like hydrogel tests and simulations.
A better way to understand and predict turbulent fluid flow
Professor Bert Brouwers has built a turbulence model from general statistical principles rather than fitted constants, and its predictions for channel flow closely matched detailed direct numerical simulations.
