Congratulations to Anish Thukral on receiving a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Young Faculty Award!

The award supports Thukral's work on new nanocomposite laminates that could shield stretchable electronics and batteries from moisture and oxygen, without sacrificing flexibility. The project builds on SRI’s Linked Particle Network tech.

DARPA’s highly competitive Young Faculty Award program supports early-career researchers whose work could address national security needs.

SRI Education is studying how literacy instruction plays out in real classrooms.

Across four large urban districts, researchers found that teachers are delivering strong, explicit phonics instruction. The opportunity now is to strengthen the “bridging processes,” vocabulary and reading fluency, that connect decoding words to understanding them.

Their new brief offers practical recommendations that teachers can put into practice right away, with no new curriculum required.

What can your wearable really tell you about menopause?

Fiona Baker, director of our human sleep research program, spoke with the The New York Times about how the devices report estimates, how metrics like heart-rate variability can show that something changed without explaining why, and what that looks like for the wearer.

In littoral waters, conditions change fast. Ground-based sensors and once-a-day satellite snapshots can’t always keep up.

To provide a clearer of the ocean, the U.S. Office of Naval Research tasked the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and SRI's PEARL Drifters to provide the insights necessary for the mission objectives at NATO's latest REPMUS exercise.

Join us to celebrate SRI history! On November 13, IEEE is honoring SRI with two milestones: the computer mouse and the first robotic telepresence surgeon.

The IEEE designations recognize technical achievements of lasting historical significance.

We're thrilled to celebrate these huge milestones — not just as SRI, but for everyone who's used a mouse or underwent surgery with the aid of the Da Vinci system.

Can 0.2% of your brain control how you sleep?

SRI’s Thomas Kilduff is a co-author on a new paper in Nature, led by Renata Batista-Brito of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The study identifies Sst-Chodl neurons, which make up just 0.2% of cortical neurons, as active promoters of sleep.

Kilduff first proposed that these cells may sense sleep pressure, the need for sleep that builds the longer we stay awake.

How is AI is shaping the future of scientific discovery?

SRI CEO David Parekh and insitro CEO and co-founder Daphne Koller sat down with World Economic Forum CTO Stephan Mergenthaler to talk where AI is already making a measurable difference, from drug discovery and modeling to faster iteration and scientific review, and how those gains add up to one of the biggest prizes in science: getting breakthroughs to market sooner.
