Evidence Shows How the Right Use of Technology Can Increase Math Learning
SRI researchers published a series of studies that examine whether technology is effective and how it helps. Our findings show that technology can increase students’ understanding of math concepts, but only as part of a more comprehensive learning approach—one that also includes curricular content and teacher professional development.

SXSW: Sharing SRI’s Secrets to Successful Innovation
This past weekend, I had the pleasure of speaking at SXSW. My session on “commercialization secrets at SRI” was over-subscribed, with a few hundred attending, and many being turned away. This was a pleasant surprise, given the time of the talk was 9:30am on a Saturday morning! Anthony Ha of TechCrunch was a superb interviewer, and for…

Flexible, large-area sensor circuits fabricated by additive printing
Organic materials have been demonstrated as good candidates for large-area flexible sensors, because they allow wide tolerance of sensor geometry and thickness, which would ease fabrication problems such as strain induced cracking on deformable platforms.

Growing the Bay Area Robotics Scene: Nine Companies to Watch
Silicon Valley Robotics (SVR) recently held its first Investor Breakfast at SRI headquarters in Menlo Park, with kudos from attending investors and the 10 participating early-stage companies. Part of SVR’s mission is to help nurture early-stage robotics companies in the greater Silicon Valley area. Both a growing list of start-up robotics companies in the Bay Area…

Proteolytic Enzymes as Biomarkers of Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis
Here, the library was utilized to map the global proteolytic specificities of plasma samples obtained from patients with the nephrotic syndrome, known as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).

The Characteristics of the O-2 Herzberg Ii and Chamberlain Bands Observed with Virtis/Venus Express
Recent observations with the VIRTIS instrument on board Venus Express allowed us to re-examine the Herzberg II system of O2 and to further study its vertical distribution, in particular the (0–m00 with m00 = 7–13) bands.

Ferritin and Ferrihydrite Nanoparticles as Iron Sources for Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
The ability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to acquire iron from exogenous ferritin was assessed; ferritin is an iron-concentrating and antioxidant protein complex composed of a catalytic protein and caged ferrihydrite nanomineral synthesized from Fe(II) and O2 or H2O2.
