Scientists from the University of Stuttgart and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) are leveraging digital technologies to make design and construction more future-proof and climate-positive. This research takes place within the interdisciplinary Cluster of Excellence IntCDC. As announced today by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the German Science and Humanities Council, the federal and state governments will continue funding the cluster, including the participating institutions MPI-IS and Bauhaus Earth, for another seven years as part of the Excellence Strategy. The Cluster of Excellence “Integrative Computational Design and Construction for Transformative Architecture (IntCDC)” will enable the university to further strengthen its position as a leader in international cutting-edge research in architecture and civil engineering.
Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is an emerging technology for mechanical energy harvesting and self-powered sensing, which offers significant potential in intelligent sports by reducing battery dependency. This paper reviews the recent advancements in TENG applications for intelligent sports, toward the future application of artificial intelligence for sports.
As part of ARPA-H's landmark ADAPT initiative, UC San Diego researchers will develop cutting-edge tools for precision oncology that act as "digital tumors," predicting treatment response and responding to changes in disease course.
Proteins catalyze life by changing shape when they interact with other molecules. The result is a muscle twitching, the perception of light, or a bit of energy extracted from food.
Scientists aiming to advance cancer diagnostics have developed a machine learning tool that is able to identify metabolism-related molecular profile differences between patients with colorectal cancer and healthy people.
A new study from UBC Okanagan says students appear to be using generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) responsibly, and as a way to speed up tasks, not just boost their grades.
Dr. Meaghan MacNutt, who teaches professional ethics in the UBCO School of Health and Exercise Sciences (HES), recently published a study in Advances in Physiology Education. Published this month, the paper—titled Reflective writing assignments in the era of GenAI: student behaviour and attitudes suggest utility, not futility—contradicts common concerns about student use of AI.
Experts say standardised tests do not guarantee new teachers can handle classroom complexities and may increase the risk of burnout.
