World’s first realistic simulated driving environment based on ‘crash-prone’ Michigan intersection
Real-time data collected at the two-lane roundabout will be used to efficiently test the safety of autonomous vehicles.

Visualizing nanoscale structures in real time
Open-source software enables researchers to see materials in 3D while they’re still on the electron microscope.
-
Emulating impossible “unipolar” laser pulses paves the way for processing quantum information
Quantum materials emit light as though it were only a positive pulse, rather than a positive-negative oscillation.

Resurrecting quasicrystals: Findings could make an exotic material commercially viable
Self-healing phenomenon could reduce defects that rendered quasicrystals impractical.
-
Strong magnetic fields change how friction works in plasma
Rather than just slowing down a charged particle moving through a plasma, friction can also push from the side in a strong magnetic field.
-
‘Doomsday Glacier’ may be more stable than initially feared
Study sheds light on the future of the massive Thwaites Glacier.
-
Designing lightweight glass for efficient cars and wind turbines
Lighter, stiffer glass fibers could make composite materials thinner without sacrificing strength.
-
Toward protein nanomachines: just add charge
Added electrical charges can harness a protein’s shape and chemical properties to build interesting structures.
-
An upgrade for open-source, 3-D nanoscale imaging software
Tomviz 1.5 dramatically reduces the time it takes to create a 3-D visualization.
-
Memory-processing unit (MPU) could bring memristors to the masses
AI, weather forecasting and data science would all benefit from computers that store and process data in the same place. Memristors could be up to the task.
-
A breakthrough for large scale computing
New software finally makes ‘memory disaggregation’ practical.
