This research investigates why supersonic aircraft engines fail under turbulent atmospheric conditions. Using high-performance supercomputer simulations, the study models airflow disruptions around supersonic engines to identify early warning signs…
This research examines how different sea turtle species uniquely shape marine ecosystems through their feeding behaviors. Studying green, loggerhead, and Kemp’s ridley turtles along Florida’s Gulf Coast, the work reveals species-specific ecological…
This research investigates compassion fatigue among preschool educators, particularly those working with children exposed to trauma and adversity. Through surveys and statistical analysis, the study examines links between empathy, workplace…
This research investigates how SUMO protein labeling regulates DNA repair after damage caused by sunlight and other stresses. Using yeast as a model organism, the study shows that SUMO helps recruit and remove repair proteins at damaged DNA sites.…
This research investigates how glioblastoma brain cancer cells invade healthy brain tissue. Using patient-derived tumor organoids and traction force microscopy, the study measures how cancer cells generate and apply forces to move through the brain…
This research improves weather and climate forecasting by studying how dry air mixes into thunderstorm clouds, a process called entrainment. Using satellite observations, radar data, and interpretable machine learning, the work refines outdated…
Glass lenses are essential for space missions but can’t currently be manufactured or repaired in space. This research engineers E. coli to grow silica-based “living glass” inspired by sea sponges, then tests bacterial growth and lens-like…
This research explores how generative AI can create personalized reading materials based on autistic children’s special interests. Using AI-generated stories tailored to individual passions, the study examines effects on engagement and story…
