Rice and Houston Methodist are partnering to solve clinical problems with neurorobotics at the new Center for Translational Neural Prosthetics and Interfaces, a collaboration that brings together scientists, clinicians, engineers and surgeons.
Charles Sidney Burrus — "Sid" to almost everyone — whose boyhood fascination with electricity set him on a path to become a pioneer in digital signal processing during a long and influential career at Rice University, died April 3.
Carbon Hub, Rice University's zero-emissions research initiative, has awarded seed grants for seven projects that will rapidly advance its vision for transforming the oil and gas sector into a leading provider of both clean hydrogen energy and solid carbon products that can be used in place of materials with large carbon footprints.
Rice engineer Yingyan Lin has won a National Science CAREER Award to help close the gap between fast “deep learning” algorithm advances and slow accelerator development.
Researchers from Rice University and MD Anderson Cancer Center have created a microscope that uses artificial intelligence to quickly and inexpensively image large tissue sections at high resolution with minimal preparation. If clinically validated, the DeepDOF microscope could allow surgeons to inspect tumor margins within minutes.
Nanomaterials researchers in Finland, the United States and China have created a color atlas for 466 unique varieties of single-walled carbon nanotubes.
Ashutosh Sabharwal, the Ernest Dell Butcher Professor and chair of electrical and computer engineering and a pioneer in two areas of wireless and health technologies has been elected a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors.
Richard Baraniuk, the Victor E. Cameron Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and a professor of computer science, is co-author of the introduction to “The Science of Deep Learning,” a special issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The lab of physicist Junichiro Kono will share in a $1 million grant from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to improve imaging of proteins, cells and tissues.
Researchers from Baylor College of Medicine and Rice University have developed artificial intelligence models that help them better understand the brain computations that underlie thoughts.
