Anika Puri, a 17-year-old from Chappaqua, NY, created low-cost machine learning ( ) software to spot elephant poachers in India in real time by analyzing the movements of humans and elephants in thermal infrared (IR) videos. Puri said her ElSa (elephant savior) machine-learning-driven software is four times more accurate than state-of-the-art detection systems, and does not require costly high-resolution thermal cameras.

ElSa, which took Puri two years to develop, employs a $250 thermal camera that interfaces with an iPhone 6, which are both affixed to a drone; the system infers the presence of humans or elephants as the drone flies over parks.

Stanford University Purvi Goel and Doug James have developed a new approach for browsing physics-based . The researchers designed the technique, Unified Many-Worlds Browsing, to refine searches by simulators or solvers for the most promising animations. The method lets animators create queries to narrow options and more easily identify specific outcome options.

Solvers are controlled by input parameters, and Goel and James used their browser to animate a simulated bowling alley, using parameters including the ball's starting velocity and position. James says Unified Many-Worlds Browsing can yield unexpected creative outputs, and increase the probability of finding the "needle in the haystack" option that might be impossible using the solver alone.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) have demonstrated that hackers can exploit computer processors' on-chip interconnect to launch side-channel attacks.

The researchers formulated such attacks by reverse-engineering the on-chip interconnect to build an analytical model of traffic flow between the processor cores, then developed two mitigation strategies. One strategy would have the system administrator apply the model to identify the most vulnerable cores, then schedule sensitive software to run on less susceptible cores. The second strategy involves the administrator reserving cores located around a vulnerable program, and running only trusted software on those cores. Neither strategy demands altering the physical hardware, says MIT’s Miles Dai.

This fall, students at 10 U.S. universities will attend metaversities, (VR) platforms where educators and students wear VR headsets and interact synchronously. Advocates claim VR increases student engagement, achievement, and satisfaction, but some scholars worry about metaversity licensors putting revenues above academic freedom, exploiting students' data, or replicating biased narratives in . Many such challenges can be addressed by aligning educational best practices, commercial incentives, and political resolution, while students may find metaversities better than engagement via remote, two-dimensional screens.

Last year, Morehouse College tested a proof-of-concept metaversity with courses in world history, biology, and chemistry, and participating world history students improved their grade point averages 10% compared to grades in the same class facilitated through Zoom and face-to-face. The University of Massachusetts Nir Eisikovits believes on-campus will ultimately supplement metaversities, not vice-versa.
