Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 15 million people suffer a stroke each year. Of these, 5 million die and another 5 million are left permanently disabled. It is also estimated that someone suffers a stroke every two seconds, and dies from it every six seconds.

A team of researchers at the University of California San Diego developed an AI tutor designed to give students an alternative to off-the-shelf AI tools, so that students not only get help but actually learn course-relevant information at the same time. The hope is that students will find this experience more fulfilling than simply relying on large language models like Google Copilot or ChatGPT. 

As volcanic magma ascends through the Earth’s crust, it releases carbon dioxide and other gases which rise to the surface. Trees that take up the carbon dioxide become greener and more lush. These changes are visible in images from NASA satellites such as Landsat 8, along with airborne instruments flown as part of the Airborne Validation Unified Experiment: Land to Ocean (AVUELO).

LJI Assistant Professor Miguel Reina-Campos, Ph.D., uses new tools to capture immune cells, hormones, and prostate cancer cells in action.

Research on off-season berry production is bearing fruit at the Simon Fraser University (SFU) Biotech Greenhouse. A team led by biological sciences professor Jim Mattsson has successfully grown a crop of blueberries indoors during the winter.

There are researchers who define their field, and then there are those who, by force of intellect and persistence, redefine what is possible. Harri Pennanen, a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Oulu's Centre for Wireless Communications (CWC), belongs to the latter category. His recent work, the most comprehensive survey of 6G technology to date, not only pushes the boundaries of wireless communication but also embodies resilience, the disciplined pursuit of knowledge despite constraints, and the refusal to accept imposed limitations. Diagnosed with ALS, a disease that strips away physical ability with ruthless inevitability, Pennanen refused to withdraw. Instead, he adapted. The world in which he operates has become smaller in a physical sense, but his intellectual reach has continued to expand. His latest achievement, 6G: The Intelligent Network of Everything, an IEEE Access paper that came out in January 2025, distils years of inquiry into the evolution of wireless networks. It is a milestone in 6G research. It tracks the transition from 5G to 6G and interrogates the very premise of connectivity itself.
