PNNL's new AI model for materials science can identify patterns in electron microscope images without human intervention. It also removes a barrier for autonomous experimentation on electron microscopes. Typically, to train an AI model to understand a phenomenon like radiation damage, researchers would painstakingly produce a hand-labeled dataset, manually tracing the radiation-damaged regions. Labeling datasets by hand is not ideal.

Professor FUJIMOTO Ryo, director of an international joint research project titled “Building the Foundation for International Joint Research in Agricultural Science Aiming for Implementation of Sustainable Food Production” talks about his career as a researcher and the significance of this project. Prof. Fujimoto: In high school, I was better at biology than physics. I chose the Faculty of Agriculture because I thought my studies would be more closely related to practical applications and social implementation.

In a new educational video, scientists are using a Rutgers-led experiment to illustrate the creativity involved in real-life scientific investigations. They have put together a short film showing how biologists, chemists, physicists and engineers converge and brainstorm at every stage of the scientific effort to better understand the carbon cycle in the ocean. The video is the eighth in the series, aimed at middle school, high school and early college students.

Both authors are Christians, and they seek to present a Christian view that supports the uniqueness and dignity of human persons. They do not pretend that there are simple answers that can ignore the problems and possibilities that are opened up by modern science. In a world filled with simplistic slogans and misleading claims, they provide authoritative and trustworthy accounts of the issues that they discuss. The authors have chosen to write on eight main areas.
