Published 'Smart' walking stick could help visually impaired with groceries, finding a seat


For people who are blind or visually impaired, finding the right products in a crowded grocery store can be difficult without help. A team of computer scientists is trying to change that.
Published Shedding light on quantum photonics


As buzz grows ever louder over the future of quantum, researchers everywhere are working overtime to discover how best to unlock the promise of super-positioned, entangled, tunneling or otherwise ready-for-primetime quantum particles, the ability of which to occur in two states at once could vastly expand power and efficiency in many applications.
Published Can you trust your quantum simulator?


Physicists have developed a protocol to verify the accuracy of quantum experiments.
Published Light-based tech could inspire Moon navigation and next-gen farming


Super-thin chips made from lithium niobate are set to overtake silicon chips in light-based technologies, with potential applications ranging from remote ripening-fruit detection on Earth to navigation on the Moon. They say the artificial crystal offers the platform of choice for these technologies due to its superior performance and recent advances in manufacturing capabilities.
Published COVID calculations spur solution to old problem in computer science


A mathematician was keen to forecast the evolution of the COVID epidemic. Instead, he ended up solving a problem which had troubled computer scientists for decades.
Published Clinical trial results indicate low rate of adverse events associated with implanted brain computer interface


There were no safety events that required removal of the device, no infections of the brain or nervous system, and no adverse events resulting in permanently increased disability related to the investigational device.
Published Computers that power self-driving cars could be a huge driver of global carbon emissions



A new model quantifies emissions that will be generated by computers on fully autonomous vehicles. If self-driving cars are widely adopted, their emissions will rival those generated by all the data centers in the world today. Keeping emissions at or below those levels would require hardware efficiency to improve more rapidly than its current pace.
Published Screen-printing method can make wearable electronics less expensive



A new study demonstrates that electrodes can be made using just screen printing, creating a stretchable, durable circuit pattern that can be transferred to fabric and worn directly on human skin. Such wearable electronics can be used for health monitoring in hospitals or at home. Current commercial manufacturing of wearable electronics requires expensive processes involving clean rooms. While some use screen printing for parts of the process, this new method relies wholly on screen printing, which can make manufacturing flexible, wearable electronics much easier and less expensive.
Published Modelling the collective movement of bacteria


A new paper presents a mathematical model for the motion of bacteria that includes cell division and death, the basic ingredients of the cell cycle.
Published A peculiar protected structure links Viking knots with quantum vortices



Mathematical analysis identifies a vortex structure that is impervious to decay.
Published Revealing the complex magnetization reversal mechanism with topological data analysis


The reliability of data storage and writing speed in advanced magnetic devices depend on drastic, complex changes in microscopic magnetic domain structures. However, it is extremely challenging to quantify these changes, limiting our understanding of magnetic phenomena. To tackle this, researchers developed, using machine learning and topology, an analysis method that quantifies the complexity of the magnetic domain structures, revealing hidden features of magnetization reversal that are hardly seen by human eyes.
Published Finding simplicity within complexity


With the theory that for every action, even those seemingly complex and random, there is a math problem that describes it, a researcher is publishing a new formula that helps find that equation quickly. Yes, he's speeding up science.
Published Math approach may make drug discovery more effective, efficient


Researchers have devised a computer-based platform for drug discovery that could make the process more effective, more efficient and less costly.
Published Using math to better treat cancer


Researchers have identified a new method for scheduling radiation therapy that could be as much as 22 percent more effective at killing cancer cells than current standard radiation treatment regimens.
Published Moral behavior pays off


Coupling two approaches of game theory can shed light on how moral norms evolve.
Published Mathematicians explain how some fireflies flash in sync


A new study by mathematicians shows that math borrowed from neuroscience can describe how swarms of these unique insects coordinate their light show, capturing key details about how they behave in the wild.
Published Unveiling the dimensionality of complex networks through hyperbolic geometry



Reducing redundant information to find simplifying patterns in data sets and complex networks is a scientific challenge in many knowledge fields. Moreover, detecting the dimensionality of the data is still a hard-to-solve problem. A new article presents a method to infer the dimensionality of complex networks through the application of hyperbolic geometrics, which capture the complexity of relational structures of the real world in many diverse domains.
Published Mathematical modeling suggests U.S. counties are still unprepared for COVID spikes



America was unprepared for the magnitude of the pandemic, which overwhelmed many counties and filled some hospitals to capacity. A new study suggests there may have been a mathematical method, of sorts, to the madness of those early COVID days.
Published Music class in sync with higher math scores -- but only at higher-income schools


Music and arts classes are often first on the chopping block when schools face tight budgets and pressure to achieve high scores on standardized tests. But it's precisely those classes that can increase student interest in school and even benefit their math achievement, according to a new study.
Published Number-crunching mathematical models may give policy makers major headache


Policy makers assume that adding more detail to mathematical models will produce more accurate predictions, but that's not always the case, a new study shows.
