When blind people share photos, there is an added risk they could unknowingly capture information considered private, such as a pregnancy test or a return address. To Assistant Professor Danna Gurari, this shouldn't have to be a concern.
The machine-learning systems that help your phone recommend music, movies, news and more can be biased in ways that leave out artists from underrepresented groups or foster polarization. Professor Robin Burke is working to change that.
A Department of Energy award will help accelerate research into flow batteries, which will help make the electricity grid more reliable and sustainable.
After a year when the nation experienced a shortage of mechanical ventilators to help treat patients with severe COVID-19 complications, Professor Mark Borden's company Respirogen presents another treatment option: oxygen microbubbles.
CIRES fellow and Associate Professor Jennifer Kay discusses the influence of Syukuro “Suki” Manabe, who this week was named a Nobel Prize laureate in physics.
