Maria (Masha) Kamenetska draws on chemistry, physics, and engineering to study molecules and drive advances in imaging, sensing, and quantum technology

Researchers have demonstrated a technique that uses a laser to produce a plasma beam antenna capable of transmitting radio waves.

The award will support the Center for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence in developing an AI-powered system to help identify personalized treatment options for children with cancer.

Children with idiopathic short stature respond differently to growth hormone therapy, making treatment outcomes difficult to predict. Researchers from South Korea developed a mathematical model to better capture these individual differences in growth response over time. By analyzing treatment and patient characteristics, the study offers new insights into why some children may experience greater catch-up growth than others—and points toward a more personalized approach to predicting outcomes before therapy begins.

The bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE), a photoelectric effect that generates photocurrent without a p–n junction, can persist even when a material’s average crystal structure remains centrosymmetric, a study from Institute of Science Tokyo has found. Researchers demonstrated this in CuCrP₂S₆, a van der Waals material that transitions from a non-centrosymmetric to a centrosymmetric average structure. The finding challenges the conventional view of BPVE and suggests a new strategy for enhancing photoelectric conversion.
