A workshop led by scientists at ORNL sketched a road map toward a longtime goal: development of autonomous, or self-driving, next-generation research laboratories. 

Have you ever felt lost when trying to pronounce or understand a Chinese name? Well, you’re not alone. It’s a challenge many of us face, and it stems from the way Chinese names are romanized using Pinyin, the standardized system for Mandarin pronunciation. The transliteration can create ambiguity, losing important cultural context and making it harder to infer details like gender. Even native Chinese speakers can find it tricky to recognize names when written in this way. Check out the insightful visualization Not My Name, created by CSH researcher Liuhuaying Yang, exploring the complexity of Chinese names and the challenges of Pinyin transliteration.

A medical student at UC Riverside is conducting a clinical trial to explore the therapeutic benefits of art for elderly patients. The study, being done at a rehabilitation and long-term care facility, aims to examine the impact of art therapy on the mental and physical health of elderly individuals, particularly those dealing with chronic illnesses or life-limiting conditions.

Rotating detonation rocket engines (RDRE) are being developed with potential to be more efficient and safer than traditional rocket systems. Supercomputer simulations are helping guide their design. RDRE could potentially improve aircraft, spacecraft, and other transportation systems.
