AI-Enhanced Imaging Devices
AI is reshaping medical imaging by helping clinicians interpret complex visual data faster, more accurately, and closer to the point of care. In surgical settings, AI-enabled imaging may support real-time decisions while the patient is still in the operating room, potentially reducing uncertainty and follow-up procedures.

Accelerating Electric Race Car Development Through Multiphysics Simulation
A technical collaboration between COMSOL and Formula E brings multiphysics simulation, digital twins, and AI-assisted modeling to electric racing.
Car racing is as much a simulation challenge as a speed challenge. Long before a race car reaches the track, engineers optimize vehicle design, predict performance, analyze crash scenarios, and evaluate how complex systems such as batteries, electric motors, thermal management, and aerodynamics interact.

New Robot Hops Over Obstacles Using Snapping Elastic Rods
The snapping mechanism could also help robots move across uneven terrain, on land and in water.
Roboticists at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and the University of Michigan have shown that elastic rods can be bent and twisted to repeatedly snap between shapes, releasing built-up energy that enables small robots to hop, flip and swim.
