As a USC study highlights the influence of AI tools on linguistic variety in writing, faculty share how they teach students to engage with artificial intelligence in ways that stimulate — instead of stifle — their creativity.

With federal funding, the research team will collect detailed data on brain activity, sleep, smartphone use and more to build a picture of risks and protective factors among students with depression.

USC researchers developed a technique that uses focused ultrasound to temporarily “light up” solid tumors, giving cancer-fighting immune cells a target they can finally recognize.

“It is a really exciting time for robotics,” Yusuf Umut Ciftci says. “There are a lot of unknowns, a lot of room for improvement and a lot of room for impact.”

USC researchers found that exposure to common air pollutants was associated with different patterns of cortical thickness in two groups of older adults, pointing to a potentially complex relationship between pollution, aging and brain health.

USC offers unique opportunities for students to do hands-on, lifesaving research alongside faculty mentors.

USC-led research reveals what aspects of cellular function are measured by popular biological age assessments.
