Alzheimer’s disproportionately affects our community. A special report by the Alzheimer’s Association indicates that 19% of Black adults aged 65 and older have Alzheimer’s dementia compared with 10% of white older adults. Alzheimer’s is a brain disease that is the predominant cause of dementia, a general term for memory loss and other cognitive abilities that are serious enough to interfere with daily life.

Obesity is a global pandemic and a significant public health concern in the United States. The World Health Organization estimated that one in eight people is now living with obesity. Just two years ago, in 2022, 43% of adults were overweight; the stats about worldwide obesity amongst adults have nearly tripled since 1990. In the U.S., four out of five Black women are living with obesity, according to the Office of Minority Health.

Engineers have developed microscopic robots, known as microrobots, capable of swimming through the lungs to deliver cancer-fighting medication directly to metastatic tumors. This approach has shown promise in mice, where it inhibited the growth and spread of tumors that had metastasized to the lungs, thereby boosting survival rates compared to control treatments.

Researchers have demonstrated miniature soft hydraulic actuators that can be used to control the deformation and motion of soft robots that are less than a millimeter thick. The researchers have also demonstrated that this technique works with shape memory materials, allowing users to repeatedly lock the soft robots into a desired shape and return to the original shape as needed.

Researchers are breaking through the difficulties of robotic recognition of various common, yet complex, items. Their layered sensor is equipped with material detection at the surface and pressure sensitivity at the bottom, with a porous middle layer sensitive to thermal changes. An efficient cascade classification algorithm rules out object types in order, from easy to hard, starting with simple categories like empty cartons before moving on to orange peels or scraps of cloth.

Neuroscientists found that brains display distinct neural activity when experiencing emotions such as bitter-sweetness. The advance could help solve a longstanding scientific debate: whether 'mixed emotions' arise from unique activity in the brain, or if we're just flip-flopping back and forth between positive and negative feelings.
