Training for Smarter Artificial Intelligence

November
2020
Engineers at the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM) have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that uses advanced reinforcement learning — machine learning algorithms that use trial and error to optimize the AI’s behavior in relation to its environment.

The Next Generation of Artificial Organs

November
2020
Bioengineers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland have developed a method to create organoids that more closely mimic real organs.

Marine Sponges Inspire Stronger, Lighter Buildings and Bridges

November
2020
Engineers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have discovered that the skeletal structure of the marine sponge Euplectella aspergillum, commonly known as Venus’ flower basket, could serve as an inspiration for construction materials to build the next generation of sky-scrapers and bridges.

Catalyzing Solutions for Improved Emissions Control

November
2020
Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany have created noble metal catalysts composed of clusters of single metal atoms, which increase catalyst activity and efficiency.

A Bacteria-Killing Face Mask for COVID-19 Protection

November
2020
Researchers at the City Univ. of Hong Kong (CityU) recently discovered that the majority of bacteria captured by commercial face masks remains alive within the material, for as long as eight hours. This poses a threat to society when masks are improperly used or disposed.
