CMOS Inventor Eric Fossum Helps Us Explain LOFIC
Professor Eric Fossum explains LOFIC, or Lateral OverFlow Integration Capacitor, a new sensor design that allows pixels to capture more light. Fossum, who is highlighted as the inventor of the CMOS 'camera-on-a-chip' sensor that is the core tech behind cellphone cameras, likens capturing light to collecting rainwater in a series of buckets.

A Windmill in Malawi
William Kamkwamba '14 is featured in a retrospective on how he built a windmill from scrap materials as a 14-year-old in Malawi, an achievement that later led him to Dartmouth and inspired his bestselling memoir, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, and a 2019 Netflix film.

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.

Detecting Life in Icy, Extreme Environments
This past summer, PhD student Paulina Umansky, who works with Professor Ian Baker on Antarctic ice microstructure and Professor Jacob Buffo on life detection in planetary ices, lived on the Taku Glacier in Alaska for three weeks as a participant in the Juneau Icefield Research Program. "The Juneau Icefield serves as an analog for environments across the solar system such as Mars and Europa. I conducted a pilot study on 'Life Detection Across Taku Glacier,' collecting subglacial and supraglacial samples. In the field, I learned several assays and applied them to analyze these samples, quantifying biosignatures present across the icefield," says Umansky.

Early Career Program Award
Professor Colin Meyer received an Early Career Program (ECP) Award from the DEVCOM Army Research Lab. ECP awards support creative basic research in science and engineering; enhance early career development of outstanding young investigators; and increase opportunities for young investigators to pursue research in areas relevant to the US Army. "As climate change drives sea‑level rise and amplifies hazards in mountain regions, I’m excited to launch a multidisciplinary effort that links the physics of frozen soils with societal needs. Our work will focus on frost heave, permafrost‑related hazards, and the dynamics of subglacial environments. By integrating laboratory experiments, mathematical models, and thermosyphons technology, we aim to develop actionable solutions for infrastructure resilience through adaptation," says Meyer.

Expanding Cardiovascular Disease Screening
PhD student Spencer Bertsch Th'19 and Professor Vikrant Vaze are co-authors of "FIND Lp(a) Machine Learning Model: Targeted Screening Enrichment of Elevated Lipoprotein(a) in Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease" published in JACC: Advances. The study used data from deidentified medical records to "Flag, Identify, Network, and Deliver (FIND)" adults with likely elevated Lipoprotein(a). "By combining state-of-the-art machine learning with relevant clinical information from electronic health records, we demonstrated that the effectiveness of Lipoprotein(a) screening can be more than doubled," said Bertsch.
