Oliver Steinbock, Cottrell Family Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, is using artificial intelligence to generate songs that explain core chemistry concepts, like thermodynamics and compression, and break down dense equations such as the van der Waals equation.

A research team led by Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic has uncovered new insight into how the brain senses movement. Their findings, published in Science Advances, could potentially help improve sensation and movement for prosthetic limbs.

By combining data from the world’s only two neural-machine interfaces designed to restore kinesthetic sensation - or the sense of movement - in upper limb prosthetics, the researchers found that the brain appears to process this information not as isolated signals, but as coordinated hand grasp movement patterns, or “synergies.”
