Mistrust between the police and the communities they serve has exacerbated crime, according to two West Virginia University sociologists who hope to reimagine and reshape policing techniques in American communities.

A University at Buffalo-led research team was awarded a two-year, $5 million National Science Foundation grant to create a suite of digital tools to help older adults - and other groups - recognize online scams and disinformation.

Some solid materials have a memory of how they have previously been stretched out, which impacts how they respond to these kinds of deformations in the future. A new Penn State study lends insight into memory formation in the foams and emulsions common in food products and pharmaceuticals and provides a new method to erase this memory, which could guide how materials are prepared for future use.

Ocean temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea are on pace to surpass critical thresholds for coral health by mid-century, but rapid action to significantly reduce emissions could slow warming, giving corals and coral conservation programs as much as 20 more years to adapt, according to new research.

The Earth System Grid Federation, a multi-agency initiative that gathers and distributes data for top-tier projections of the Earth’s climate, is preparing a series of upgrades that will make using the data easier and faster while improving how the information is curated.

University of Pittsburgh engineers utilize signaling chemicals that replicate “cell communication” to form capsule clusters

The biggest ransomware attacks in history have happened in the past year. An algorithm developed at Purdue University could help protect parts of the power grid at greatest risk of causing a blackout if hacked.

A team including J.R. Rizzo of NYU School of Medicine and S. Farokh Atashzar, director of the Medical Robotics and Interactive Intelligent Technologies (MERIIT) Lab at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering partnered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to design a science tool that uses biomarkers improve testing and monitoring of stoke rehabilitation devices.

MIT engineers created shape-memory materials made of ceramic rather than of traditional metal. The development opens a new range of applications, especially for actuators in high-temperature settings.
