Computer science and robotics professor Adrien Treuille and doctoral student Jeehyung Lee are two of the main minds responsible for creating eteRNA, an online game in which users build RNA strands and then predict how they will synthesize or fold. Rhiju Das, the other co-creator responsible for the original idea of trying to predict RNA synthesis using models, is a biochemistry professor at Stanford. This project can help researchers uncover properties about RNA behavior.

RNA synthesis research assisted by users in eteRNA

This project can help researchers uncover properties about RNA behavior.

In this age of the Internet, with so many options for news sources and types of media, this so-called “information overload” can cause us to miss the big picture on various important issues.

Tool developed to help with information overload

Some researchers at Carnegie Mellon are developing a tool to help us overcome "information overload."

How Things Work: Solar technology could power hazard-free ‘smart’ roads

The focal points of this new research are “smart” roads, which would utilize heat energy to melt snow and ice on the roads.
