Using data collected by citizen scientists, researchers have developed new, open-source algorithms to automatically detect bat echolocation calls in audio recordings.

UBC forestry professor Phil Evans is leading a project that uses an algorithm to design a cricket bat that’s cheaper to produce but just as powerful as the one used by professional cricketers.

The algorithm, written by Evan's colleague Sadegh Mazloomi, went through 200 stages in the manufacturing process, each one inching closer toward a point on the bat's surface that produces maximum ...
