Self-driving cars learn to share road knowledge through digital word-of-mouth
2025-02-27
An NYU Tandon School of Engineering-led research team has developed a way for self-driving vehicles to share their knowledge about road conditions indirectly, making it possible for each vehicle to learn from the experiences of others even when they rarely meet on the road.
The research, presented in a paper at the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence Conference on February 27, 2025, tackles a persistent problem in artificial intelligence: how to help vehicles learn from each ...
Medicaid extension policies that cover all immigrants in a post-COVID world reduce inequities in postpartum insurance coverage
2025-02-27
New York— A new study at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health reveals that Medicaid extension policies, which cover all immigrants in the post-COVID era, have led to a notable reduction in postpartum uninsurance, particularly in New York City. However, the study highlights that awareness gaps may have hindered the full benefit for Hispanic immigrants. The results are published in the American Journal of Public Health (AJPH).
Continuous Medicaid enrollment during the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) was associated with a 4 percentage-point decrease in postpartum uninsurance among immigrant populations in New York City. This led to a reduction, though not ...

Columbia’s Public Health School launches Climate & Health Center
2025-02-27
In response to the worsening climate crisis, Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health is launching the Center for Achieving Resilience in Climate and Health (C-ARCH) to be a global solutions lab for responding to and mitigating the manifold detrimental health impacts of climate change while building adaptive capacity.
C-ARCH’s team of climate and health scientists will forge partnerships with governments and communities worldwide to pursue rigorous research to identify the specific ways climate extremes harm health; design, deploy, and evaluate ...
$4.9 million grant enables test of psychedelic MDMA as enhancement for PTSD therapy
2025-02-27
SAN ANTONIO, Feb. 27, 2025 – Researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and their collaborators at Emory University have received a $4.9 million grant aimed at significantly improving treatment and recovery rates for individuals suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
The project was recently selected for funding by the U.S. Department of Defense through a call for studies to evaluate psychedelics as a treatment for PTSD in hopes of pushing the field forward. In this effort, the innovative clinical trial will use 3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine hydrochloride, or MDMA, commonly ...

Leading the charge to better batteries
2025-02-27
From laptops to electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries power everyday life. However, as demand for longer-lasting devices threatens to outstrip the energy that lithium-ion supplies, researchers are on the hunt for more powerful batteries.
A team led by Kelsey Hatzell, an associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment, has uncovered insights that could help power a new type of battery, called an anode-free solid-state battery, past lithium-ion’s limitations.
By understanding how ...
Consequences of overplanting rootworm-resistant maize in the US Corn Belt
2025-02-27
Widespread use of genetically engineered Bt maize, designed to combat rootworm pests, has led to overplanting and pest resistance, jeopardizing the crop’s long-term effectiveness, according to a new study. The findings – informed by data from ten U.S. “Corn Belt” states – estimate that this overuse has cost U.S. farmers $1.6 billion in economic losses, emphasizing the need for improved seed diversity, transparency, and farmer decision-making to sustain transgenic crop benefits. “If current and future related innovations are managed as Bt maize hybrids have been,” say the authors, “we risk entering ...
The distinct role of Earth’s orbit in 100-thousand-year glacial cycles
2025-02-27
The ebb and flow of Pleistocene glacial cycles is not random; it follows a predictable pattern dictated by the distinct and deterministic influence of Earth’s orbital geometry, according to a new study. The findings highlight the roles of precession, obliquity, and eccentricity – factors influencing the tilt and movement of Earth's axis, and the shape of Earth's orbit around the Sun – in glacial transitions. They also establish a predictive model for past and future glacial cycles based ...
Genome-based phylogeny resolves complicated Molluscan family tree
2025-02-27
From octopuses to snails, the complicated molluscan family tree has now been mapped in unprecedented detail, researchers report. This includes sequences for 13 new complete genomes from across the phylum. The genome-based phylogeny helps to resolve long-standing evolutionary debates and provides new insights into how the extraordinary diversity of species emerged from a single common ancestor. The phylum Mollusca is highly diverse with myriad morphological, ecological, and behavioral adaptions spanning both terrestrial and aquatic environments. The most well-known groups – bivalves, ...
