If humans could enter the spider s world, they could learn about web construction, arachnid behavior and more. Today, scientists report that they have translated the structure of a web into music, which could have applications ranging from better 3D printers to cross-species communication and otherworldly musical compositions.

Policy decisions will affect coastal communities risk more than climate change

Coastal communities face increasing danger from rising water and storms, but the level of risk will be more closely tied to policy decisions regarding development than the varying conditions associated with climate change.

Machine learning at speed

Inserting lightweight optimization code in high-speed network devices has enabled a KAUST-led collaboration to increase the speed of machine learning on parallelized computing systems five-fold. This in-network aggregation technology, developed with researchers and systems architects at Intel, Microsoft and the University of Washington, can provide dramatic speed improvements using readily available programmable network hardware. The fundamental benefit of artificial intelligence (AI) that gives it so much power to understand and interact with the world is the machine-learning step, in which the model is trained using large sets of labeled training data. The more data the AI is trained on, the better t

Centrifugal multispun nanofibers put a new spin on COVID-19 masks

This new technique, which has shown up to a 300 times higher nanofiber production rate per hour than that of the conventional electrospinning method, has many potential applications including the development of face mask filters for coronavirus protection.

Sustainable Construction : Austrian Stones & Ceramics Association endows TU Graz professorship

 E-Mail IMAGE: The sustainability of buildings as an independent scientific discipline: The Stones and Ceramics Association supports the endowed professorship Sustainable Building at the TU Graz. view more  Credit: Lunghammer - TU Graz Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) and the Austrian Association for Building Materials and Ceramic Industries (Stones and ceramics association) have contractually agreed on the establishment of an endowed professorship for sustainable construction. The association will fund the professorship according to Section 99 of the University Act for a period of three years, with the option of an extension. TU Graz will contribute scientific positions, administrative support and infrastructure for research and teaching.
