The use of highly dynamic bistable soft actuators enables varied locomotion. Many animals are capable of smoothly transitioning between walking, jumping, crawling, and swimming without…
Revealing “invisible” glacier loss underwater Recent research shows that the mass loss of lake-terminating glaciers in the Himalayas has been severely underestimated, due to the…
Activation and expression of genes reveal similarities in cell patterns based on type and function throughout the tissues and organs. Understanding these patterns improves our…
The utilization of multiple mitigation strategies for natural gas-generated electricity may be crucial. Approximately 25% of the global electricity supply is generated by natural gas-fired…
Assistant Professor David Rounce of Civil and Environmental Engineering led an international effort to produce new projections of glacier mass loss through the century under…
Unprecedented views of the interior of cells and other nanoscale structures are now possible thanks to innovations in expansion microscopy. The advancements could help provide…
Crowded rooms: How Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh researchers solved a cell mystery. A surreal video of stressed cells under a microscope…
New research has found that drinking alone as an adolescent and young adult can increase the risk of alcohol use disorder later in life, especially…
As robots increasingly join people working on the factory floor, in warehouses, and elsewhere on the job, determining who will do which tasks increases in…
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have found a way to make deep brain stimulation (DBS) more precise, resulting in therapeutic effects that outlast what is…
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…
