Team develops simulation algorithms for safer, greener, and more aerodynamic aircraft.

Ice buildup on aircraft wings and fuselage occurs when atmospheric conditions conducive to ice formation are encountered during flight, presenting a critical area of focus for their research endeavors.

Ice accumulation on an aircraft during flight poses a significant risk, potentially impairing its performance and, in severe cases, leading to catastrophic consequences.

AI has officially entered the field of biology. Meet Evo, a GPT fed millions of microbes instead of words. Read all about it.

Evo marks the next frontier in machine learning by interpreting biological sequence data, including DNA, RNA, and proteins.

According to a new study, researchers may have found a way to get cancer cells to “self-destruct.”

A huge dam in China is changing how long our days are.

New work provides a good view of where the field currently stands.

Physicist Matthias Kling studies photons and the things science can do with ultrafast pulses of X-rays. These pulses last just attoseconds – a billionth of a billionth of a second, Kling says. He uses them to create slo-mo “movies” of electrons moving through materials like those used in batteries and solar cells. The gained knowledge could reshape fields like materials science, ultrafast and quantum computers, AI, and medical diagnostics, Kling tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering’s The Future of Everything podcast.
