As the new school year arrives, Pennsylvania teachers are knee-deep in lesson planning while preparing for a major shift: implementing the state's STEELS standards—which emphasize science, technology, engineering, environmental literacy, and sustainability—in time for full integration into K-12 classrooms by the start of the 2025-26 school year. To support educators already stretched for time and resources, especially those new to teaching computer science, Lehigh University is introducing the Lehigh K-12 Computer Science STEELS Toolkit: a suite of flexible, free enrichment activities designed and tested by undergraduate students and partnering teachers at local schools for use in elementary and secondary classrooms.
Harvard researchers have created a soft, wearable robotic device that provides personalized movement assistance for individuals with upper-limb impairment, such as stroke and ALS patients.
Researchers have demonstrated a new technique for manufacturing strong magnetic materials that improves the quality of the magnets, produces the magnets quickly, uses less energy and is less expensive.
When SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, began spreading worldwide in 2020, many research teams immediately set to work developing a vaccine against it. Building on decades of previous work on mRNA technology and on other viral vaccines, including HIV, they achieved their goal within the year. The most widely used mRNA vaccine design contains the genetic instructions for the body to make the spike protein that the virus uses to enter cells. The resulting immune response protects against infection and, more importantly, disease and death. However, developing a vaccine for HIV has proven much more difficult.
