Unprecedented Underwater Storms Accelerate the Collapse of Key Glaciers in Antarctica

Professor Yoshihiro Nakayama is quoted about his research into storm-like ocean circulation patterns beneath Antarctic ice shelves that are causing glaciers to melt. "We are observing the ocean in very short time scales, similar to those of the weather. This is unusual for Antarctic studies," Nakayama said.

Why Do We Trust ChatGPT? The science of how AI chatbots captivate, entertain, and influence us.

Professor Eugene Santos Jr. is quoted in Mother Jones about why people trust AI chatbots and advises developers to better define how chatbots should be used and set guidelines, rather than leaving it open-ended. "We need to be able to lay down, 'Did I have a particular goal? What is the real use for this?'" Santos says.

We've Wiretapped the Gut-Brain Hotline to Decode Signals Driving Disease

Alexander Boys, an assistant professor of engineering, is quoted in an article about research he co-led to develop a device that can capture neural signals sent between the brain and the enteric nervous system located in the gut, which processes neural information locally. "The gut's nervous system has been historically difficult to access, and we show here not only that it can be done, but that we can extract fairly intricate information," Boys said.
