Material coming from a Princeton research lab is full of holes — but that's a good thing. Designed to mimic bone, wood, and other natural materials, the porous objects are lighter than traditional products and can be strategically inserted into structures to provide higher stiffness in areas with high demand. These porous structures, created by…

Ban evasion is a problem for users, moderators, and platforms alike. Evaders torment users on popular websites and get banned by moderators, only to return under a new account to continue their malicious behavior. Students and faculty at Georgia Tech’s College of Computing published a study that can help online moderators stop…
