Background
Modern compression systems use a set of fixed mathematical tools to remove unnecessary information from each video frame. While these tools work well, they treat most video content in the same way and cannot adapt to the unique characteristics of each scene. As video resolutions, frame rates, and streaming demands continue to increase,...

Background
Many advanced materials and molecular systems require precise, reversible control over molecular interactions. Applications for responsive materials, biomedical systems and adaptive surfaces need on-demand, localized, and reversible control of binding interactions. There is a clear need for small molecule platforms that can be controlled...

Background
Electron sources used in free-electron lasers, advanced microscopy, and next-generation particle accelerators suffer a trade-off between brightness, efficiency, operational lifetimes, and average current. The current systems give strong emission and improved electron multiplication, but they do not meet operational standards. A more robust...

Background
Carbon fiber prepregs are widely used in aerospace and high-performance manufacturing since they can produce lightweight, high-strength composite structures. However, prepregs have a limited storage life, and an estimated 30–50% of prepreg material used is ultimately discarded due to expiration or manufacturing scrap. A recycling solution...

Uses steady-state visually evoked potentials (SSVEPs) as endogenous reference signals for cross-session EEG calibration.
Creates a subject-specific linear mapping that aligns raw EEG recordings to a common neural baseline.
Reduces the impact of session dependent recording differences to support consistent longitudinal EEG analysis.

Reprograms cancer-associated fibroblasts to dismantle tumor barriers and improve immune-cell access to solid tumors.
Innovation
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) create a physical and immunosuppressive barrier that limits the effectiveness of CAR-T and other immunotherapies in solid tumors. This technology uses transcription factor-based...

Background
Wearable motion tracking technology has the potential to revolutionize injury rehabilitation, sports science, and virtual reality, but widespread adoption has yet to be realized due to limitations of the conventional camera- or accelerometer-based technologies. Current systems are bulky, power-hungry, and require line-of-sight or suffer...

Background
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is an essential tool for detecting and analyzing radicals and substances with unpaired electrons, with applications spanning biomedical diagnostics, materials science, and chemical analysis. However, conventional EPR instruments are constrained by their bulky size, high cost, and substantial...

Background
Current battery management systems, such as those in electric vehicles, grid storage and consumer electronics, can only estimate bulk metrics like capacity and resistance, which miss key degradation mechanisms. While electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) provides detailed insight into battery health, it requires specialized hardware...
