The Arctic is warming at nearly four times the rate of the rest of the planet, altering Indigenous ways of life in the far north. 

UC San Diego engineering professor Andrew Kahng is part of several major national initiatives that together are transforming how future engineers learn to design and build computer chips. His work is helping UC San Diego become a driving force in the nation’s growing semiconductor innovation ecosystem.

As people age, the brain undergoes multiple changes, increasing the vulnerability to neurological diseases. Early detection of neurological diseases is critical for effective treatment. In a recent study, researchers from China demonstrated that machine learning algorithms integrating imaging, genetic, and clinical data can significantly improve diagnostic accuracy and prediction, enabling timely interventions and better patient outcomes. This approach may transform clinical practice by improving precision, speed, and interpretability in assessing complex brain disorders.

A new study exploring the secretive lives of feral and free-roaming cats in Wales could shed light on wildcats’ return to the country. 

The Idaho National Laboratory has changed the world for more than 75 years through work in nuclear energy, national security and other innovative technologies. From early nuclear reactor demonstrations to establishing tomorrow’s robust electrical grid, here are 10 of the most impactful INL achievements that benefit our nation and the world:

Scientists at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) have achieved a historic breakthrough in nuclear energy by launching full-scale production of enriched fuel salt for the Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment (MCRE)—the world’s first test of a molten chloride salt fast reactor.

The 2025 Army-Navy college football game kicks off Dec. 13 in Baltimore, Maryland, continuing one of America’s most storied rivalries.

First played in 1890, Army-Navy has endured through wars, peace and generations of cadets and midshipmen. Army-Navy stands apart as more than game — it’s a national tradition that honors service and sacrifice. Every player on the field has taken an oath to defend the nation with their lives. Its traditions embody duty, discipline and respect between rivals who serve the same nation.

With human-robot collaboration at the core of Industry 5.0, a research team at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has made significant progress in this field, developing a new generation of “human-machine symbiotic” collaborative manufacturing systems. In addition to perceiving complex environments in real time and accurately interpreting operators’ intentions, the system can achieve skill transfer and self-learning via simple demonstration, while carrying out autonomous process code generation and automatic adjustment for highly accurate task execution. It has been successfully applied to high-end manufacturing tasks such as autonomous drilling on large aircraft and the disassembly of electric vehicle batteries, laying a solid foundation for a new model of human-centric smart manufacturing.
