A new system enables a robot to “think ahead” and consider thousands of potential motion plans simultaneously, allowing the robot to solve a multistep problem in a few seconds.

Researchers led by a Rutgers University-New Brunswick astrophysicist, who looked deeply into space at a period known as “Cosmic Noon” about 2 billion to 3 billion years after the Big Bang, have found that a special class of galaxies were busy experiencing their first major burst of star formation.

The discovery is important, scientists said, because it will answer questions about how galaxies grow and evolve, providing key insights into the early stages of galaxy development and the overall history of the universe. 

A new way to 3D print complex structures recycles the material used for structural supports, significantly reducing the amount of waste generated.

Patients are being healed with a personalized treatment that repairs the patient’s specific genetic mutation. The treatment was created using a form of gene editing called base editing —a method created by UC San Diego’s Alexis Komor. Her latest research outlines the way certain DNA repair proteins can be manipulated to produce desired outcomes when using base editors.
