Building curious machines
For the first time, controlling the degree of twist in nanostructure particles
Being able to decide not only whether a micron-scale particle twists but also how much could open new avenues for machine vision and more.
U-M researchers aim to bring humans back into the loop, as AI use and misuse rises
The study aims to help society, including regulators considering AI safety regulations and organizations considering adopting AI, understand the societal implications of ever-smarter machines.
Senior hires stand out in an impressive year for faculty hiring
The cohort of 36 new tenured and tenure-track faculty includes 11 faculty hired at the rank of professor or associate professor.
How evolution overshot the optimum bone structure in hopping rodents
Bones that are separate in small jerboas are fully fused in large ones, but the bone structures that are best at dissipating the stresses of jumping are only partially fused.
Walking and slithering aren’t as different as you think
New mathematical model links up slithering with some kinds of swimming and walking, and it could make programming many-legged robots easier.
