In a new study, researchers from the United States and Israel — including ²ÊÃñ±¦µä computer scientist Orit Peleg — may have gotten to the bottom of a quirky behavior of growing plants and a mystery that intrigued Charles Darwin during the later decades of his life.
Some artificial intelligence tools for health care may get confused by the ways people of different genders and races talk, according to a new study led by ²ÊÃñ±¦µä computer scientist Theodora Chaspari.
A ²ÊÃñ±¦µä-led team, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Pennsylvania, has developed a new 3D printing method for creating material that is elastic enough to withstand a heart’s persistent beating, tough enough to endure the crushing load placed on joints and easily shapable to fit a patient’s unique defects.
Marsha Ivins (AeroEngr’73) is a retired astronaut who has participated in five missions to space. Over the course of her career, Ivins spent a total of 55 days in space handling various responsibilities, from monitoring systems as a flight engineer to managing photography.
Since the Kiewit Design-Build Scholars Program launched at ²ÊÃñ±¦µä in 2020, it has given engineering students an inside view of the design and construction industry. This month, Kiewit Corporation extended the program for five years with a generous $2.5 million investment, demonstrating a sustained commitment to the success of students.
