At Dartmouth, fluorescence tags cancer cells for surgical removal

This article highlights new research co-authored by Professor Eric Henderson and Samuel Streeter '13 Th'14 Th'21 who discovered a new fluorescent molecule that makes cancer cells "glow" during surgery. "Visually highlighting soft-tissue cancers so that they can be removed more reliably will lead to higher cure rates," Henderson said.

Scientists Sound Alarm as March Sea Ice Sets New Lows

Professor Don Perovich is featured in an article about plummeting Arctic sea ice levels. "Sea ice is acting like the old canary in the coal mine," Perovich said. "It's saying loud and clear that warming is occurring."

Towards Efficient Data Sharing in Platform Markets

Professor Geoff Parker is a co-author of this guest article on how platforms collect valuable data that they do not share, and welfare then suffers as information asymmetry produces market failures. The authors propose a novel solution that gives users privacy control yet allows third parties to create value with user permission.

Vulnerability of Complex Systems

Professor Peter Chin received a three-year, $1M award from DoD to work on the DARPA INGOTS program. He plans to use AI to better understand the vulnerability of a complex modern digital system (e.g. mobile phones) and develop new theories and tools for vulnerability research on these systems.

More Accurate Ice Sheet Models

Professor Hélène Seroussi is senior author of "Increased sea-level contribution from northwestern Greenland for models that reproduce observations" published in PNAS. The study uses observational data and time-dependent physics to inform an ice flow model of northwestern Greenland glaciers. The model better matches historical observations and shows that future sea-level rise contribution from this region may be significantly larger than projected over the coming century. The paper also suggests a path forward for making the method scalable to the entire Greenland Ice Sheet.

Research Prize: Metamaterials

PhD student Xiangbei Liu received third prize in the 2025 Neukom Outstanding Graduate Research Awards. Her research with Yan Li’s Group uses machine learning to efficiently design metamaterials with zero Poisson's ratio that maintain their shape in the transverse direction when stretched or compressed, making them ideal for soft robotics and biomedical devices.
