New Computer Chips Do Math With Light

Professor Anthony Rizzo is quoted in an article about the development of new computer chips that use laser light to process information. The processors could soon solve specific real-world problems faster and with lower energy requirements than conventional computers. Rizzo noted that these devices have shown that light-based, or photonic, components "can do things that we care about, and that they can do them better than electronic chips that we already have."

Active Pixel Sensors Came From NASA

The technology pioneered by Professor Eric Fossum, Director of the PhD Innovation program, is featured in a story about the active pixel sensor built into smartphone systems. The CMOS sensor was originally developed by Fossum at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab in 1993.

Winter sea ice in the Arctic just hit a record low

Professor Don Perovich is featured in the article about Arctic sea-ice levels falling to a record low, an ominous signal about the effects of climate change and its impact on other parts of the planet. “Sea ice is acting like the old canary in the coal mine," Perovich said. "It’s saying loud and clear that warming is occurring.”

Novel Piezo-Composites

PhD students Huan Zhao, Ya Tang, and Xiangbei Liu, undergraduate students Andrew Kim and Jace Henry, and Professor Yan Li co-authored "High-temperature piezoelectric composites with enhanced structural integrity" published in Ceramics International. "This article reports a novel piezoelectric composite that can increase the temperature limit to 500°C while maintaining good structural integrity and mechanical performance. This innovative piezo-composite opens new possibilities for sensing, energy harvesting, and actuation in high-temperature environments," said Li.

Early Detection of Internal Bleeding

PhD student Navid Rashedi (pictured), Professor Ethan MurphyAlexandra Hamlin '16 Th'17 Th'19, research associate Victor Borza, and Professors Jonathan Elliott, Ryan Halter, and Vikrant Vaze are co-authors of: "Detection of occult hemorrhage using multivariate non-invasive technologies" published in Physiological Measurement. "This work investigated machine learning to combine multiple technologies—electrical impedance and near infrared spectroscopy—to better detect internal bleeds in a porcine study. Internal bleeds are often not detectable until it's too late. This approach appears to detect them earlier and more accurately," said Murphy.
