A new data visualization illustrates how an experimental NASA technology can provide extra lead time to communities in the path of a tsunami. Called GUARDIAN (GNSS Upper Atmospheric Real-time Disaster Information and Alert Network), the software detects slight distortions in satellite navigation signals to spot hazards on the move.. The animation breaks down a real-life […]

The intersection of higher education and national security involves the consideration of how educational institutions manage foreign students and researchers in the context of national interests. This can include concerns about intellectual property, research security, and the potential for espionage.
A conflict of interest occurs when an individual or organization has multiple interests, one of which could potentially corrupt the motivation for an act in another. In research, this can lead to biased results and undermine trust in scientific findings.
Aging research focuses on understanding the biological processes that lead to aging and developing interventions to slow down or reverse these processes. This field encompasses various disciplines, including genetics, cellular biology, and biochemistry.
Research independence is the ability of a PhD student to conduct their research autonomously, making decisions about their project direction and methodology. This skill is essential for developing critical thinking and problem-solving abilities in a scientific context.
Cognitive Computing refers to systems that simulate human thought processes in complex situations. It combines elements of AI, machine learning, and data analytics to create systems that can learn from data, reason, and interact naturally with humans.
International student policies refer to the regulations and guidelines that govern the admission and enrollment of students from other countries in educational institutions. These policies can be influenced by political, economic, and social factors, and can vary significantly from one country to another.
