UW researchers deployed a robotic feeding arm in a pair of studies outside the lab. In the first, six users with motor impairments used the robot to feed themselves a meal in a UW cafeteria, an office or a conference room. In the second study, a community researcher and co-author on the research used the system at home for five days.
A new study by researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign describes a breakthrough in the field of organic solar cells, bringing the technology one step closer to commercial viability. Lightweight, transparent OSCs can turn any surface into a power generator.
Irvine, Calif., March 4, 2025 — For the first time, researchers at the University of California, Irvine have demonstrated that multicolored stickers applied to stop or speed limit signs on the roadside can confuse self-driving vehicles, causing unpredictable and possibly hazardous operations. In a presentation at the recent Network and Distributed System Security Symposium in San Diego, researchers from UC Irvine’s Donald Bren School of Information & Computer Sciences described the real-world implications of what previously was only theorized: that low-cost and highly deployable malicious attacks can make traffic signs undetectable to artificial intelligence algorithms in some autonomous vehicles while making nonexistent signs appear out of nowhere to others.
For patients undergoing nerve transfer surgery for facial palsy, Botox injections can improve facial symmetry by reducing overactivity of the muscles on the unaffected side, suggests a study in the March issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). The journal is published in the Lippincott portfolio by Wolters Kluwer.
