An AI for Deciphering What Animals Do All Day
A study led by Rafael Yuste, a neuroscientist, shows how an algorithm for filtering spam can learn to pick out, from hours of video footage, the full behavioral repertoire of tiny, pond-dwelling Hydra.
Geometry is Key to T-Cell Triggering
Columbia Engineers discover geometric underpinnings of T-cell stimulation through precise engineering of T-cell receptor geometry, building a 3D nanofabricated biomimetic surface that simulates the key components of an antigen-presenting cell.
Collaborative Planning to Save Coastal Property from Rising Seas
Climate scientist Radley Horton is bringing the effects of sea level rise to the attention of decision-makers and fostering discussions to help society more effectively confront climate change.
U.S., UK Scientists Join to Study Possible Collapse of Massive Antarctic Glacier
An international collaboration will study the wasting of the Thwaites glacier, which already accounts for around 4 percent of current global sea-level rise, and could collapse within decades or centuries.
