Upper Valley Schools That Spent Years Adding Tech Are Starting to Take It Away

Professor Rafe Steinhauer and his team's work with the Lebanon School District in addressing AI and screentime, are featured in an article about how Upper Valley schools are reconsidering the role of technology in classrooms. "AI is the future of software," said Steinhauer. "That doesn’t mean it’s the future of education. And it shouldn’t be, in my opinion."

The Cat-And-Mouse Game Over 3D-Printed Guns Has Begun

Professor Solomon Diamond comments on efforts to block 3D printers from producing firearms and says a proposed workaround would likely defeat hash-based detection systems. Diamond adds that hash matching could still have value by deterring less motivated users from downloading gun files.

Europa's Interior Ocean Could Be Harder to Reach Than We Thought

Professor Jacob Buffo suggests that Europa's icy shell may pose a greater barrier to accessing its subsurface ocean than previously believed. Using computer simulations, the researchers found that water rising through fractures in the ice would likely cool rapidly and freeze, potentially limiting future efforts to sample material from the moon's ocean.

The fight over 3D printed guns

Professor Sol Diamond participated in a discussion about the pros and cons of a new California bill that would require 3D printer companies to equip their printers with technology to stop the printing of gun parts. “We can take an already deployed technology from [geometric identification] and bring it to bear on this particular problem,” said Diamond.

Advancing HDR Brachytherapy

PhD student Kevin Willy, and Thayer co-authors Megan Clark Th'25 and professors Petr Brůža and David Gladstone, were Science Council Session Winners at the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) Annual Meeting in Vancouver. Their paper, "Advancing HDR Brachytherapy: Real-time optical in vivo dosimetry with source tracking," focuses on measuring treatment and dose parameters for high-dose-rate brachytherapy. The topic was identified by AAPM as being "at the frontier of medical physics."

IEEE PES Prize Paper Award

Professor Junbo Zhao won the IEEE Power & Energy Society Technical Committee Prize Paper Award for "A topology-based edge computing framework for digital power system small-signal stability analysis," published in IEEE Transactions on Power Systems. The proposed framework leverages the computation and communication capabilities of Intelligent Electronic Devices to reduce the burden on the control center and facilitate the digital transition.
