Artificial intelligence aboard aircraft could help prevent mid-air stalls and terrifying drops in altitude. In a new study, an international research team successfully tested a machine learning system for preventing trouble with turbulence. Researchers from KTH Royal Institute of Technology and the Barcelona Supercomputing Center conducted tests on an AI system designed to enhance the effectiveness of experimental technologies for manipulating airflow on wing surfaces. The results indicate that these innovations work better when paired with deep reinforcement learning (DLR), in which the program adapts to airflow dynamics based on previously learned experiences.

Binghamton University, State University of New York maintains its status as an R1 institution for its prolific research activity, according to a new list from the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.

Researchers at Penn Engineering, Penn Arts & Sciences and Aarhus University found that adding just the right amount of disorder to the structure of certain materials can make them more than twice as resistant to cracking. 

A new study has unveiled the intricate 3D genome structure of Brassica crops, thanks to an optimized Bridge Linker High-throughput Chromosome Conformation Capture (BL-Hi-C) technology.
