University of Cincinnati researchers, in collaboration with end users in the community, have received a $200,000 grant from Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) to design a user-centered, easy-to-use assistive device to help restore hand grasping motions for people with spinal cord injuries/diseases.

Fiber optic cable deployed on a Swiss glacier detected the seismic signals of crevasses opening in the ice, confirming that the technology could be useful in monitoring such icequakes, according to a report at the Seismological Society of America’s Annual Meeting.

Professor ZHANG Zhen’s team at the Suzhou Institute for Advanced Research, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), reported a solid-state proton gating membrane with an ultrahigh gating ratio of 5,740, surpassing existing technologies. The study was published in Nature Communications.

A recent study has revealed the intricate dynamics of submesoscale eddies (SEs) in the South China Sea, harnessing cutting-edge satellite technology to uncover their critical role in oceanic processes.

A recent study by Concordia University researchers reveals that social media platforms are highly susceptible to manipulation by relatively simple AI techniques. By employing reinforcement learning and systems theory, the researchers demonstrated how bots can be strategically placed to exploit platform algorithms, intensifying polarization with minimal intervention. The study aims to enhance detection mechanisms and raise awareness among policymakers and tech companies about the vulnerabilities inherent in current social media infrastructures.​
