18-Nov-2025 Cornell student’s AI research makes assistive communication technologies more personal — and more playful Cornell University At 15, Tobias Weinberg lost the ability to speak — now as a Ph.D. student at Cornell Tech, he's using AI to improve the technologies he and others with speech disabilities rely on to communicate.
18-Nov-2025 The ups and downs of space research Texas A&M University Microgravity experienced during spaceflight poses potential health risks to astronauts’ cardiovascular systems. Determining how to mitigate these health risks is challenging, as countermeasures are tested in Earth’s gravity. But what if there was a way to perform research in microgravity, without leaving the atmosphere? Researchers from Texas A&M University are participating in parabolic flights operated by Novespace in Bordeaux, France. These flights create brief periods of microgravity through a series of parabolic climb and descent maneuvers.
18-Nov-2025 Europe’s hidden power: Turning waste heat into profit European Science Communication Institute gGmbH Europe’s industries waste massive amounts of energy like heat. The iWAYS project created the Heat Pipe Condensing Economiser (HPCE) to capture this waste and reuse it. Tested in factories across Europe, it cuts emissions, saves water, and reduces energy costs while keeping production running smoothly. Funder Horizon 2020 Framework Programme
