In a comprehensive analysis that offers a global view of carbon emission trends, researchers are exploring the factors driving CO2 emission peaks in countries worldwide. The study, titled "Carbon Emission Peaks in Countries Worldwide and Their National Drivers," is led by Prof. Chao He from the Collaborative Innovation Center for Emissions Trading System Co-Constructed by the Province and Ministry in Wuhan, China, and the National Science Library (Wuhan) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This research provides critical insights into the national drivers behind carbon emission peaks, offering a detailed understanding of global emission trends.

Combining non-invasive brain stimulation and robotic rehabilitation improves motor recovery in mouse stroke model

CMU researchers are harnessing AI to help everyday objects sense human activity and respond in useful ways. Their system uses computer vision, LLMs and wheeled platforms to observe behavior, predict intentions and move objects across horizontal surfaces. The team is exploring larger applications of the system, including shelves that unfold from walls when they're needed.

SAN ANTONIO — October 14, 2025 — Dr. Chris Thomas of Southwest Research Institute’s Mechanical Engineering Division has been named an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA).

Vitamin B6, which is absorbed from a broad range of foods, helps bolster immune system function and neurotransmitters in the brain. But some patients with chronic conditions like diabetes might experience low concentrations of vitamin B6, leading to reduced mental and physical health function, with possible symptoms including irritability, depression, anemia, numbness or muscle twitching. Expensive blood draws are currently the only way to monitor B6 levels, but a team led by Huanyu “Larry” Cheng, the James L. Henderson, Jr. Memorial Associate Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics at Penn State, has developed a new, non-invasive approach that could allow for continuous monitoring, even at home.
