Indoor air quality in modern buildings is increasingly difficult to maintain without high energy costs, and while vertical green walls offer a natural solution, their inconsistent performance and complex maintenance have limited widespread use. VertINGreen, developed by researchers, solves this by using AI, remote sensing, and plant data to both predict how green walls will perform before installation and monitor their health in real time, making them a reliable, efficient, and scalable tool for improving air quality and reducing energy consumption.

The American Association for the Advancement of Science has named four New York University faculty as 2025 AAAS Fellows: Eray Aydil, Anirban Maitra, André Fenton, and Liina Pylkkänen.

At the University of Missouri, research moves with purpose. Across campus, faculty, staff and students are digging into the kinds of challenges that shape daily life — from public health and education to agriculture, technology and community well‑being. Their work advances what we know and creates practical solutions that help people in Missouri and beyond. Each new finding adds momentum to a long-standing tradition of curiosity, collaboration and service that defines our mission. In recognition of those contributions, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has named three Mizzou researchers 2025 AAAS Fellows.
