How one of the coldest, darkest towns on Earth is trying to get more energy from the sun
Professor Mary Albert Th'83 is featured in this article about her energy transition project in Qaanaaq, Greenland. "It's cogeneration of knowledge, so they can continue to live where they want to live and how they want to live," said Albert.

Camera on a Chip: Eric Fossum's Invention of the CMOS Image Sensor
On this podcast about "pioneers of photography and digital imaging," Professor Fossum is a featured guest discussing "the invention of the CMOS active-pixel image sensor as part of his work for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory [and] the transfer of the CMOS sensor's 'camera-on-a-chip' technology to industry."

Do Antibodies Help Vaccines Protect Against Herpes
Research from Professor Margie Ackerman's lab is cited in this article about the role of antibodies in fighting herpes simplex virus infections. "These findings, published in Cell Reports Medicine, could pave the way for new treatments or vaccines for neonatal herpes ... their results point to a better way to design herpes vaccines and may help explain why many vaccine candidates have failed to be protective in clinical trials," they report.

Research Quick Takes
SPIE Medical Imaging Conference
At the SPIE Medical Imaging conference, PhD students Yuan Shi (Halter Lab), Chengpei Li, Haley Stoner, and William Warner Th'17 Th'19 (Paulsen Lab) presented their work on image-guided surgery, including talks on "A surgical navigation framework for image-guided transoral robotic surgery" and "Intraoperative stereovision cortical surface segmentation using fast segment anything model," and posters on "Large MRI specimen submersion phantom design" and "Smart line detection and histogram-based approach to robust freehand ultrasound calibration."
Materials for Hydrogen Storage
Professor Geoffroy Hautier is a co-author of "Small-pore hydridic frameworks store densely packed hydrogen" published in Nature Chemistry. The study reveals a way of achieving high volumetric gas storage in nanoporous materials. "Transforming water to hydrogen is a promising way to store energy, but hydrogen gas takes up a lot of space. Developing materials that can absorb reversibly and 'pack' this hydrogen in a tighter space would reduce the volume needed for storage," says Hautier.
Embracing Ethical Research
First-year PhD student Amritha Anup Th'23 is first author of "Embracing ethical research: Implementing the 3R principles into fracture healing research for sustainable scientific progress" published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research. Anup and her international co-authors, as well as professor Katie Hixon, explore recent advances "to replace, reduce, and refine [3R] animal experiments in musculoskeletal, bone, and fracture healing research."
Multiplex Ultrasound Imaging
Austin Van Namen Th'21, Sid Jandhyala Th'22, Catalina Spatarelu Th'22, and Professors Kim Samkoe and Geoff Luke are coauthors of "Multiplex Ultrasound Imaging of Perfluorocarbon Nanodroplets Enabled by Decomposition of Postvaporization Dynamics" published in Nano Letters. The paper describes a method to use phase-changing nanodroplets as ultrasound contrast agents for imaging multiple biomarkers simultaneously.
A Better, Safer Surgical Stapler
Professors Ethan Murphy and Ryan Halter, and PhD student Harsha Devaraj, along with Medtronic collaborators, coauthored "Development of an Electrical Impedance Tomography Coupled Surgical Stapler for Tissue Characterization" published in IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering. The featured article investigates the incorporation of electrical impedance tomography into a surgical stapler to improve outcomes. Further studies are planned based on the promising results.
3D-Printed Tissue-Integrated Biosensors
Researchers Anand Tiwari and Sreejith Panicker, PhD students Julia Huddy and Md Saifur Rahman, and Professors Will Scheideler and Katie Hixon coauthored "Biocompatible 3D Printed MXene Microlattices for Tissue-Integrated Antibiotic Sensing" published in Advanced Materials Technologies. The study developed new electrode materials for 3D-printed porous electrochemical biosensors to monitor antibiotic release in tissue engineering scaffolds.
AI for Open Science
PhD students Gregory Hyde, Chase Yakaboski, and Clement Nyanhongo '17 Th'18 (pictured) presented on "AI for Open Science: A Multi-Agent Perspective for Ethically Translating Data to Knowledge" at the 37th Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems in New Orleans. "There were over 10,000 attendees, and some of the most accomplished researchers in our field. It was an inspiring week, and we're hopeful to continue Dartmouth's presence there next year," said Yakaboski.
Advancing Magnet Manufacturing
Thomas Keller Th'23 and Professor Ian Baker, in collaboration with Professor Wen Chen and Wuxian Yang at UMass Amherst, co-authored "Additive manufacturing of Mn-Al permanent magnets via laser powder bed fusion" published in Materialia. "We produced rare-earth-free permanent magnets with enhanced performance and a novel microstructure—a great step toward more sustainable electric motors," said Keller.
