Scientists uncover link between the ocean’s weather and global climate
Using mechanical rather than statistical analysis, an international team of scientists offers a new framework for understanding the climate system.
Machine learning boosts search for new materials
Rochester scientists have developed deep-learning models that can sift through the massive amounts of data generated by X-ray diffraction techniques.
Straining memory leads to new computing possibilities
“We’ve combined the idea of a memristor and a phase-change device in a way that can go beyond the limitations of either device,” says Stephen Wu, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering and of physics.
