Scaffolding the Scaffolder: How Artificial inteligence Can Support Parents Without Replacing Them
When people hear about AIs and children, they imagine robots teaching, chatbots tutoring, or systems that try to replace human instruction. Our research began in a much more ordinary place, yet extraordinary for early development: a caregiver sitting with a child, reading a picture book together.
Toward a sustainable megalopolis by reconciling power system decarbonization and urban health resilience
Climate change is intensifying heatwaves, increasing outage risks and potentially deadly heat exposure when cooling is disrupted. Our study examines how decarbonization may amplify these risks and proposes a health-aware planning pathway to reduce heatwave-related excess deaths.
A bendable low-frequency mechanical antenna for cross-medium communication in unmanned missions
Conventional radios fail in seawater, underground, or behind rock; high-frequency signals attenuate so quickly. We developed a flexible, magnet-based low-frequency mechanical antenna that provides a robust, low-rate link for cross-medium coordination among unmanned systems, even when RF breaks down.
