Civil and environmental engineering researchers provide a roadmap to simplify PFAS destruction in water resources using heterogeneous catalysis, a more sustainable and cost-effective approach.

Forever chemicals, made simple

Carnegie Mellon researchers are using high-density surface electromyography (HD-sEMG) with spatial filters and ultrasound to reduce crosstalk and enhance muscle activity localization. This approach aims to achieve precise mapping of muscle activity, particularly in complex structures like the forearm.

Improved muscle mapping could aid neurological treatment

A new computer aided design tool from the labs of Jon Cagan and Rebecca Taylor enables scientists to rapidly generate and manufacture novel DNA origami structures within designer-defined constraints.
