Facing the uncertainties of droughts, wildfires, blackouts, poor air quality, mudslides and flooding, here are some ideas from faculty at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering to build a more resilient City of Angels and beyond. These ideas include 3D printing fireproof homes, localized generation of energy, AI-powered buildings, AI to anticipate fires, banana trees to prevent fire spread and more...

A group of Rutgers scientists, led by ecologist Julie Lockwood, met an international challenge and has been recognized for stellar efforts. As part of the Map of Life Rapid Assessments team led by Yale University, the researchers placed second in the global competition, according to an announcement by the XPRIZE Foundation. The nonprofit organization, which designs and manages public competitions to encourage technological developments, awarded the team $2 million out of a $10 million purse for its accomplishments.

A slush flow is a mass of water-saturated snow that moves over long distances at high speed. In a series of new, free-to-use interviews, experts explain the science behind these wet snow hazards, and the new mapping techniques that could help road authorities avoid communities from costly and time-consuming closures

A 60-year-old man from the Cadillac area has become the first patient in Michigan to receive a state-of-the-art aerosolized cancer treatment, performed by Henry Ford Health surgical oncologist Dr. Richard Berri and his team at Henry Ford St. John Hospital. The procedure offers new hope for patients with metastatic cancer inside their abdominal cavity.

With its Aurora exascale supercomputer, Argonne National Laboratory is providing researchers with a powerful tool to accelerate discoveries across many fields, including biology, chemistry and AI for science.

West Virginia University microbiologists have identified an antibody that can kill one of the most drug-resistant bacteria. Now, supported by a $3.5 million grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, they want to determine whether it can be combined with other antibiotics to produce a potent treatment against infection.

Dame Nancy Rothwell, renowned neuroscientist and former Vice-Chancellor and President of the University of Manchester, shares her scientific journey and leadership experiences in a Genomic Press Interview. From groundbreaking research on obesity and brain inflammation to steering a major university, her career exemplifies the intersection of scientific innovation and academic leadership.

With rugged terrain and mobility centered on personal car ownership, bringing together the residents of Okinawa with convenient and eco-friendly transportation is no easy feat.

But sustainable transit is key to both decarbonization and inclusive regional mobility. And now, a new research project, dubbed SO-SMART (a proactive SOcial-based framework for SMART transportation), aims to find sustainable and accessible public transport means through an innovative approach built on citizen participation.
