As robots become increasingly integrated into our daily lives, the need to make them transparent has never been more critical. Yet, despite its importance in human-robot interaction, a standardized measure of robot transparency has been missing until now. This paper addresses this gap by presenting the first…

Transparent wood (TW) is a type of bio-based optical composite that combines wood’s hierarchical microstructure with polymers’ tailored optical properties to achieve high transmittance and controlled light scattering. TW is developed by removing lignin or modifying lignin chromophores and infiltrating a polymer whose…

The current healthcare system often feels confusing and fragmented for patients, with unclear costs, repeated tests, and delays in care. The traditional fee-for-service (FFS) model in healthcare, which reimburses providers for each individual service regardless of necessity or outcome, has long fostered inefficiencies…

Title: Summary As artificial intelligence (AI) applications demand substantial computational power, their energy consumption and the attendant carbon footprint of data centers are accelerating at an alarming rate. Due to increasing demand, data centers could consume 9% of global electricity demand by 2030. However, the…

Freedom of Information (FOI) laws aim to increase government transparency, yet existing assessments focus mainly on legal compliance and procedural outcomes, leaving organizational behavior underexamined. As FOI processes are increasingly mediated through digital information systems, public response data offer traces…

Opaque objects reconstructed by 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) often exhibit a falsely transparent surface, leading to inconsistent background and internal patterns under camera motion in interactive viewing. This issue stems from the ill-posed optimization in 3DGS. During training, background and foreground Gaussians…

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems increasingly mediate decisions affecting individuals and societies. Existing data protection frameworks address certain privacy-related harms, particularly those arising from data leakage, re-identification, and profiling. However, they inadequately capture a more fundamental risk…

The disposition effect describes investors’ irrational behavior of selling profitable assets too soon while holding onto losing assets for too long. This study examines the impact of transparency at the firm level on the disposition effect of individual investors who hold that company’s stock. Our results show that an…

This study deciphers the exquisitely timed cellular and molecular symphony orchestrating corneal development in mice, revealing how neural crest cells (NCCs) transition from multipotent progenitors to architects of a light-transmitting, mechanically robust stroma. Between embryonic day 10 until birth, NCCs undergo…

The U.S.–China rivalry has placed frontier dual-use technologies, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI), at the center of global power dynamics, as techno-nationalism, supply chain securitization, and competing standards deepen bifurcation within a weaponized interdependence that blurs civilian–military boundaries.…

Transparent microelectrode arrays that enable multimodal investigation of spatiotemporal electrophysiological activity are critical tools for advancing the understanding of excitable tissues such as the brain, heart, and peripheral nerves. Traditional implantable devices are engineered for chronic use but require…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming ubiquitous, and across domains, increasingly autonomous systems are carrying out tasks which raise significant ethical and legal challenges which demonstrate a need for strong human-machine teams rooted in trust. In this article, I argue that within highly impactful areas (such…

Gallium oxide (Ga2O3) is an ultrawide bandgap semiconductor with promising applications in power electronics and UV-photodetectors. Herein, we present thermal atomic layer deposition (ALD) of Ga2O3 thin films using tris(1,3-diisopropyltriazenide)gallium(III) precursor and water. The deposition process shows saturation…

Despite the promise of self-driving laboratories to accelerate discovery, their widespread implementation is hindered by prohibitive cost and technical complexity. We introduce BrickSDLab, a fully functional self-driving lab platform built entirely from LEGO® components, designed to bridge this accessibility gap.…

Integrating elements that belong to a single object while segregating overlapping objects is a fundamental challenge for the visual system, exemplified by the phenomenon of motion transparency. While the middle temporal (MT) cortex is central to motion processing, the role of V1 in motion transparency remains…

Transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) with diverse band alignments are essential for next-generation optoelec- tronic devices, where precise energy level matching and carrier type control are critical for efficient performance. In this work, we computationally predict that Y-doped Cd2Sb2O7 is a promising new n-type TCO…

AI-enabled systems are seeing increasing deployment across numerous domains, with many being "black boxes" with respect to core functions and capabilities. I.e., many systems take inputs and give outputs, but without users having any ability to see how the former lead to the latter. AI-enabled systems are also being…

Precise post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression is essential for vertebrate lens development. Disruption of the gene encoding the RNA-binding protein CELF1 leads to early-onset cataract in mice. Here, using iCLIP-seq in lenses, we mapped transcriptome-wide CELF1 binding sites, revealing interactions with the…

Transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) play an indispensable role in modern optoelectronic technologies. However, industry primarily relies on a limited range of n-type oxides, severely constraining the design flexibility and optimization of optoelectronic device architectures. Expanding the range of known TCOs would…

Tartrazine dye (FD&C Yellow No. 5) been demonstrated to reduce optical scattering and improve the penetration of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in ex vivo ocular tissues. However, previous reports have used high concentrations of tartrazine that are hyperosmolar to healthy ocular tissues including cornea. Higher…

Optimizing treatment plans based on an individual’s drug concentration can significantly improve therapeutic outcomes, as drug efficacy is closely linked to its plasma levels. This motivates the development of precise tools for measuring drug concentration in situ. To address this, a minimally invasive optical sensing…
