Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that a joint research team from Seoul National University and Harvard University has developed a next-generation swarm robot system inspired by nature—capable of movement, exploration, transport, and cooperation, all without the need for precise sensors or centralized control. This groundbreaking work was published in Science Advances on May 9, highlighting a promising new direction for the future of swarm robotics.

Can a virtual nurse persuade people to get vaccinated? Scientists from SWPS University have proven that it is possible. Finding new forms of informing people about vaccinations is particularly important for public health while some question their validity

A study published in Forest Ecosystems shows that low-latitude warming has increased tree growth in Central Asia's alpine forests since the 20th century. Researchers analyzed 128 tree-ring records and found a significant upward trend in tree radial growth, driven by enhanced regional temperatures and precipitation. However, they warn that continued warming may eventually reverse these gains. Future research needs to refine models to better understand these dynamics.
