ENG: Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering have developed a new skin-like computing patch that can analyze health data directly on the body using artificial intelligence. Unlike current wearable devices, which usually send collected data to an external server for processing, this patch performs computations locally and in milliseconds. This could be especially important in medical situations where even a short delay can be dangerous, such as detecting and responding to ventricular fibrillation.

ENG: Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, led by L. Mahadevan and Ph.D. student Lucy Liu, studied how groups of robots behave in crowded spaces. Their work focused on a common problem in swarm robotics, where adding more robots can first improve performance, then reduce efficiency when the space becomes too crowded. The goal of the study was to find how many robots can work efficiently in a limited area and how their movement can be adjusted to avoid traffic jams.
