Could There Ever Be a Worldwide Internet Outage?
Professor George Cybenko is quoted in an article about the possibility of a worldwide internet outage. "It is possible but would require significant resources and/or huge coincidences, which makes it a highly unlikely, but possible, event," Cybenko said.

Eric Fossum earns the prestigious Draper Prize for pioneering the CMOS image sensor
Professor Eric Fossum, director of the PhD Innovation Program, has been named the recipient of the 2026 Charles Stark Draper Prize for Engineering, one of the most prestigious honors for engineering achievement. "Eric Fossum is a pioneering semiconductor device physicist and engineer whose invention of the CMOS active pixel image sensor, or 'camera on a chip,' has transformed imaging across everyday life, industry, and scientific discovery," the NAE said in announcing the prize.

We study glaciers. ‘Artificial glaciers’ and other tech may halt their total collapse
Professor Colin Meyer co-authors an opinion piece about technology advancements that can help stop total collapse of the world's glaciers. "Technologies we can bring to bear include satellite-based radar, solar-powered drones, robot submarines, lab-based 'artificial glaciers,' and advanced computing technologies, including artificial intelligence," he writes.

Better Metamaterial Design Via Transfer Learning
PhD students Xiangbei Liu, Ya Tang, and Huan Zhao, and Professor Yan Li, are co-authors of "A transfer learning–enabled framework for rapid property prediction toward scalable and data-efficient metamaterial design" published in Results in Engineering. When faced with new requirements, conventional machine-learning approaches require substantial new datasets for retraining—basically starting from scratch. Transfer learning can significantly reduce the required amount of training data while maintaining high accuracy and stability. "This approach provides a foundation for building a scalable, data-efficient knowledge base for future applications," said Li.

Diagnosing Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer
Professor Arthur Pétusseau (far right) has teamed up with Research Fellow Dylan Parker, MD, and professors of dermatology Shane Chapman, MD, and Brian Simmons, MD to launch a clinical study focused on the diagnosis of non-melanoma skin cancer. The study, titled "Assessment of Skin Lesions Using a Tissue Oxygen Imager Based on Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) Fluorescence," will enroll 120 patients to investigate whether oxygen dynamics following gentle palpation can serve as an early marker to distinguish malignant from non-malignant lesions. "Information from this study could help dermatologists better determine when surgical resection is truly necessary, potentially reducing unnecessary procedures, particularly in cosmetically-sensitive areas such as the face," said Pétusseau who developed the imager called, Pressure-Enhanced Sensing of Tissue Oxygenation (PRESTO).

Top Biophotonics Device
Professors Petr Brůža and Brian Pogue—along with former Thayer professor and now CTO of DoseOptics, Venkat Krishnaswamy—attended the Prism Awards Celebration at SPIE's Photonics West conference where DoseOptics' Clinical Cherenkov Imaging was listed in the top three biophotonics devices of 2025. (See Pogue's recent Commercialization Report published in Biophotonics Discovery) "What a treat to be at the world's largest biomedical optics conference with my brilliant colleagues, designers of the BeamSite Cherenkov Imaging camera. In only one year, with over 40 installations in place and planned worldwide, this technology will help keep radiation therapy advances safe for all patients," said Pogue.
