On April 28, Spain experienced a widespread power outage that left millions without electricity for nearly a full 24 hours. While power has largely been restored, the cause of the failure is still under investigation. Early reports suggest that the high percentage of renewable energy on the grid at the time may have played a role 鈥� but it鈥檚 more complicated than that.
Biotechnology researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) are working to further improve mRNA therapeutics, with the aim of reducing manufacturing costs and enabling additional therapeutic uses for mRNA technology. 聽The team鈥檚 work will focus on improving mRNA manufacturing. Synthetizing mRNA vaccines involves a series of complex chemical reactions.
A team of physicists from the University of Miami, with two collaborators, developed a new type of molecule that could offer a groundbreaking material for computer chips.
Traditional methods of studying human gene mutations are often laborious and costly. Now bioengineers at UC San Diego have developed a new simple approach to rapidly check on human gene changes and also screen chemicals as potential drugs by turning everyday bacteria into living test tubes.
A research team led by Dr. Sunghoon Hur of the Electronic and Hybrid Materials Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) and Professor Hyun-Cheol Song of Korea University has developed a biocompatible ultrasonic receiver that maintains its performance even when bent.
To address critical U.S. Air Force communications needs, FAU engineering鈥檚 Center for Connected Autonomy and Artificial Intelligence has received a $2.1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense Air Force Research Laboratory to establish the FAU Center of Excellence for Research and Education in Programmable Wireless Networks. The center will serve as a critical hub for innovation in dynamic spectrum operations, secure wireless systems and training the next generation of national defense engineers.
Led by Drs. Mijeong Han and Young Hun Kang at the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT), the team combined carbon nanotubes with Bi鈧�.鈧勨倕Sb鈧�.鈧呪倕Te鈧� (BST) in a porous foam structure to maximize thermoelectric performance.
The setting for the TV series "Paradise" is an idyllic small town, but it turns out this pleasant community exists entirely underground. Virginia Tech mining engineer Nino Ripepi and electrical engineer Ali Mehrizi-Sani look at just how realistic "Paradise" actually is.
For the first time, researchers can study the microstructures inside metals, ceramics and rocks with X-rays in a standard laboratory without needing to travel to a particle accelerator, according to a study led by University of Michigan engineers.
The UC San Diego campus is home to the largest electric vehicle (EV) charging network of any academic institution in the western world with a growing number of EV chargers expected to exceed 1,200 within the next year.
A new thermal treatment technique being developed by researchers at the University of Miami College of Engineering could help destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in soil, leading to the potential demise of 鈥渇orever chemicals.鈥�
Kaushik Jayaram, assistant professor at CU Boulder, recently received a $650,000 grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation and a $1.4 million grant from the Air Force Research Laboratory to design small, shape-shifting robots. His previous designs include mCLARI, a four-legged robot that fits on a quarter and weighs less than half a penny.
Introducing Kenall's new task light: the MedMaster KUE鈩�. Combining Kenall's expertise in behavioral health lighting with a sleek new contour, KUE's design aesthetic is as comfortable as it is stylish.
An $11.5 million sponsorship will launch a new research institute at Tufts focused on materials science and engineering. The Tufts Epsilon Materials Institute is a collaboration between manufacturer Epsilon Group and the university to advance innovations in materials that address global challenges in energy and sustainability.
A research team led by Dr. Ju-Yul Lee and Dr. Seil Kim from the Energy & Environment Materials Research Division at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) has developed the world鈥檚 first eco-friendly silver (Ag) plating technology using a phosphorus (P) compound as a key plating component.
The U.S. National Science Foundation National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NSF NRAO) and the University of Florida (UF) have announced a dynamic new partnership to advance science education and public outreach at a future Next Generation Very Large Array (ngVLA) antenna site in Florida. This collaboration, signed with a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at the debut of the ngVLA prototype antenna in New Mexico last week, brings together world-class scientific expertise and educational leadership to create unique opportunities for students, educators, and the public across Florida. If constructed, the ngVLA, a flagship project recommended by the Astro2020 Decadal Survey, would be the most advanced radio telescope of its kind, capable of probing the universe with unprecedented sensitivity and resolution
In a landmark advance in microsensor technology, researchers have unveiled an ultra-sensitive gas detection method using surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors enhanced by the physics of exceptional points (EPs). These EPs, phenomena from non-Hermitian systems where eigenvalues and eigenvectors converge, allow for amplified signal response.
Ismael Se谩帽ez鈥檚 lab develops brain wave decoder that may help in spinal cord injury rehabilitation
A computer scientist from Washington University in St. Louis developed a problem-solving architecture modeled on neurobiology that leverages quantum mechanical behavior to guarantee optimal solutions to complex problems.
Some plants produce oils with properties that are particularly good for biofuels, but not all of these plants are suitable for being grown on a large scale. To solve this dilemma, scientists modified the seeds of camelina and pennycress to produce the same type of oil made by the burning bush plant. The result is plants that produce nearly pure, high-quality oil with improved biofuel properties.
