Engineers at USC created a breakthrough memory chip that works at temperatures hotter than molten lava, opening new possibilities for space exploration and dramatically faster artificial intelligence. The device operates flawlessly at 700°C, far beyond what any electronics could previously survive.
Homeless shelters that welcomed pets helped nearly 900 people move into permanent housing. When people don't have to choose between shelter and their animal companions, they're more likely to get the help they need.
A USC student helped AI master a programming language 10,000 times rarer than Python by simply letting it learn from its mistakes. The breakthrough could transform how AI helps us solve problems in medicine, engineering, and beyond.
Scientists are testing a groundbreaking treatment that implants lab-engineered stem cells into the brain to rebuild dopamine production in Parkinson's patients. If successful, the therapy could restore motor function and slow disease progression for over one million Americans living with the condition.
Scientists discovered how sea stars walk without a brain, and it could revolutionize how we build robots for extreme environments. Each of the creature's hundreds of tiny feet makes its own decisions based on what it feels.
Doctors at USC are implanting lab-grown stem cells into the brains of Parkinson's patients to restore dopamine production and potentially reverse symptoms. The therapy could offer hope to over one million Americans living with this progressive disease.
