A recent study published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences by researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology and the British Antarctic Survey zeroes in on powerful winds known as low-level jets that occur over the coastal region of the Amundsen Sea Embayment, West Antarctica, which includes both Thwaites and Pine Island glaciers, as well as the open ocean.

Los Angeles, CA – May 29, 2025 - The Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI) and California State University, Northridge (CSUN) are proud to announce the launch of a new collaboration initiative that brings advanced hands-on laboratory experience to CSUN Biology graduate students as part of their curriculum.

Mass General Brigham researchers compared their long-standing diagnostic decision support systems AI tool, DXplain, with modern large language models like ChatGPT and Gemini, finding DXplain performed slightly better. They say their findings, published in JAMA Network Open, suggest that combining DXplain with LLMs could enhance clinical diagnosis and improve both technologies.

Researchers gave participants face tattoos that can track when their brain is working too hard. Published May 29 in the Cell Press journal Device, the study introduces a non-permanent wireless forehead e-tattoo that decodes brainwaves to measure mental strain without bulky headgear. This technology may help track the mental workload of workers like air traffic controllers and truck drivers, whose lapses in focus can have serious consequences.

Rice University’s student-led Rice Wind Energy team soared to new heights this year, clinching second place overall at the U.S. Department of Energy’s 2025 Collegiate Wind Competition (CWC). Hosted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratories at the University of Colorado Boulder campus, the CWC challenges students from across the country to design and build wind turbines, develop wind energy projects and engage in public outreach to promote renewable energy.

A lab-designed molecule developed and extensively studied by scientists with Virginia Tech’s Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC could represent a breakthrough in slowing tumor recurrence in glioblastoma, an aggressive and deadly form of brain cancer.
