Vascularized Hearts — Biomedical Engineering At Its Finest
Biology | Medicine
Julia Jade

Scientists have made a major breakthrough in regenerative medicine by creating vascularized heart organoids—lab-grown, mini heart tissues that can beat and develop networks similar to blood vessels. Unlike earlier organoids, these models can survive longer and more accurately mimic real human heart function, making them valuable for studying disease and testing drugs. They also open the door to personalized medicine by allowing treatments to be tested on patient-specific tissue, while reducing the need for animal testing. Although challenges remain, this advancement brings researchers closer to growing functional human heart tissue for medical use.

Designing Energy-Efficient Data Centers in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Environmental Sustainability | AI
Valentina Ríos

The need for new AI technologies depends on expanding data centers, and the need for new data centers poses serious environmental and energy issues. This article approaches the problem of designing energy efficient data centers from the perspective of system-level infrastructure optimization, low-power IT hardware and software, integration of renewble energy sources, and intelligent real time monitoring systems. Data centers consume and intensively work with information, so efficient workload management in conjunction with advanced cooling techniques and the use of renewable energy sources is crucial in reducing power and carbon footprints. AI-driven autonomous optimization technologies to develop data centers sustainably are the main focus of future work.

Comprehensive Review and Analysis of the Single Electron Hypothesis: An In-Depth Examination of Its Viability and Limitations
Physics
Samuel Okoye

This paper provides a critical review of the Single Electron Hypothesis (SEH), which proposes that all electrons are manifestations of a single particle moving through space and time. By examining its theoretical foundations, mathematical consistency, and experimental evidence—such as particle collisions and the double-slit experiment—the study demonstrates SEH's inability to reconcile with quantum field theory and observed phenomena like pair production. The analysis highlights key contradictions, including violations of charge conservation and Dirac’s time-reversal symmetry, ultimately concluding that modern quantum mechanics offers more robust frameworks. The work underscores the importance of empirical validation in theoretical physics while guiding future research toward viable alternatives.

3D Printing and Sustainable Building Materials
Mechanical Engineering | Sustainability
Mia Stubbins

3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is a rapidly growing technology that builds objects layer by layer using digital designs. Since its invention in the 1980s, it has expanded into industries like construction, where methods such as material extrusion and powder-based systems enable efficient, low-cost production. As the construction sector contributes heavily to global emissions, 3D printing offers a more sustainable alternative by reducing waste and material use. In particular, the use of recycled polymers—especially plastics—enhances environmental benefits by lowering pollution, conserving resources, and supporting greener building practices.
