Engaging students through interactive activities, discussions, feedback, and AI-enhanced technologies resulted in improved academic performance compared to traditional lectures, lessons, or readings, faculty from Carnegie…
Lessons from the pandemic could inform how to deal with other global crises that require collective action, like climate change. Superspreading events have proven to…
Small children learn language at a pace far faster than teenagers or adults. One explanation for this learning advantage comes not from differences between children…
Batteries have come a long way since Volta first stacked copper and zinc discs together 200 years ago. While the technology has continued to evolve…
Using neural networks, researchers can now simulate universes in a fraction of the time, advancing the future of physics research. A universe evolves over billions…
Flat-packed noodles create more sustainable packaging, transportation and storage. People love pasta for its shapes — from tubes of penne and rigatoni to spirals of…
Tarantulas are among the most notorious spiders, due in part to their size, vibrant colors, and prevalence throughout the world. But one thing most people…
Perhaps the best hope for slowing climate change — capturing and storing carbon dioxide emissions underground — has remained elusive due in part to uncertainty…
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University report findings on an advanced nanomaterial-based biosensing platform that detects, within seconds, antibodies specific to SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for…
New policies, technologies could help make sense of flood of information. The science community has responded to the COVID-19 pandemic with such a flurry of…
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have demonstrated that they can combine iPhone videos shot “in the wild” by separate cameras to create 4D visualizations that…
Previous research points to the effect of social stressors on developing upper respiratory infections, holding clues to COVID-19 risk. Months of self-isolation and social distancing…
Some people look at an equation and see a bunch of numbers and symbols; others see beauty. Thanks to a new tool created at Carnegie…
Is the reporting of media outlets biased in favor of firms that advertise with them? A new study looked at the relationship between advertising by…
Engineers from Carnegie Mellon University’s Scott Institute for Energy Innovation have compiled carbon emissions for the U.S. electric power sector for the second quarter (Q2)…
