Rice explores AI, ethics and innovation in health care at annual AI in Health Conference
As artificial intelligence rapidly advances, researchers and health care professionals are exploring new ways to apply AI tools and technology to the most complex challenges in health and medicine.
Rice physicists define new material blueprint for next-generation microchip encryption
In a study published in “Physical Review Letters,” a research team co-led by Rice's Jun-Jie Zhang and Boris Yakobson demonstrates a new class of materials. The research was conducted in collaboration with Shuai Dong, chair of the School of Physics at Southeast University in China. These materials are called autferroics and can speed up physical, true random number generators thousands of times while keeping signal clarity at full strength.
Rice’s Department of Materials Science and NanoEngineering at the George R. Brown School for Engineering and Computing convened academic leaders, department chairs and researchers from across the state for the inaugural Texas Materials Consortium Sept. 18.
