Estuaries across the United States are facing the same trends of warming water, algae growth, and declining oxygen concentrations that threaten water quality and fish populations, regardless of geographic location, according to new research led by a Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) faculty member.

For RPI alumnus Doug Mercer ’77, helping prepare the next generation of electrical engineers to excel in the workforce has been a personal crusade for decades.

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) researchers will contribute to two projects selected by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for Phase I awards under the inaugural Genesis Mission, a national initiative designed to accelerate scientific discovery through artificial intelligence.

Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) have found that today's leading artificial intelligence tools for predicting protein structures routinely generate results that are physically and chemically impossible, exposing critical blind spots in how AI is being applied across scientific research.
