The inherent differences in epistemologies and research methods in electrical engineering and earth science hinder interdisciplinary collaboration. In the context of climate change, this divide affects the shift towards long-term sustainability in global energy systems, prompting dialogue between the disciplines to enable effective interdisciplinary collaborations.

Current human–machine interfaces for controlling assistive devices fail to offer direct, arbitrary control over multiple degrees of freedom. Based on the implantation and tracking of small magnets in the residual muscles, the myokinetic interface could enable biomimetic, direct, independent and parallel control of artificial limbs.

Networking is an essential skill that offers several perks, from improving the visibility of research by effective communication with peers and scientific editors to advancing careers and building a lasting reputation.

The way in which researchers, scientists and engineers apply for jobs is very inefficient. Creating free online databases of candidates with filtering, ranking and video features could help to maximize reach and identify the most suitable person for each job offer much faster.

An article in IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications proposes algorithmic solutions to dynamically optimize MIMO waveforms to minimize or eliminate interference in autonomous machine-to-machine communications.

An article in Nature Machine Intelligence presents a neural signal-based speech decoding framework comprising interchangeable architectures for the electrocorticography decoder and a differentiable speech synthesizer.
