Doganyigit, K. (BMEB) – Reimagining the petri dish, automated incubator-free organoid culture system for long term organoid maintenance and disease modeling

Organoids offer strong in vitro models for studying development and disease; however, traditional incubator-based culture methods hinder environmental regulation, elevate evaporation rates, and limit imaging and instrumentation access—restricting their effectiveness for prolonged, physiologically relevant research. To address these challenges, we created a compact, automated culture system that eliminates the need for an incubator by integrating […]

Lydon, S. (SciCAM) – Magnetic Buoyancy Instabilities in Deep, Twisted Magnetic Layers

In observing the solar magnetic field, possibly the most prominent features visible on the surface are sunspots, which emerge at different latitudes as the solar cycle progresses. Sunspot pairs are believed to be formed by concentrated bundles of mainly toroidal magnetic field (flux tubes) looping through the surface. These regions exhibit surprisingly ordered patterns of […]

Van Duker, N. (AM) – A Random Choice Hybrid Method for Resolving Shock Placement Errors in 1D Relativistic Hydrodynamics with Transverse Velocities

Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA

This report presents a one-dimensional Random Choice-based hybrid method for simulating special relativistic hydrodynamics (SRHD) flow problems. The proposed scheme combines a high-order accurate method and a random choice method, selectively applying the first to smooth flows and the second to shocks and discontinuities. This hybrid approach addresses the issue of incorrect wave placements in […]

Lei, K. (CM) – Designing for meaningful large-scale online communication, connection, and collective insight

Digital technologies have made large-scale online interaction a central part of how people communicate, connect, and work together. Yet scaling often comes at the cost of depth, and interactions can become superficial and chaotic, drifting away from the richer interactional contexts of small-scale or in-person settings that support trust and meaningful exchange, and that make […]
