The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) has appointed Stephen Welby as the new Deputy Director of Research for the Sensors and Intelligent Systems Directorate (SISD), effective April 1, 2025.
The Solar Wind Electrons Alphas and Protons (SWEAP) instrument suite developed by researchers at The Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) and the Marshall Space Flight Center for NASA’s Parker Solar Probe (PSP) has helped the PSP earn the coveted 2024 Robert J. Collier Trophy.
According to a new study published in Journal of Mammalian Evolution, two newly unearthed fossil specimens add important information to our collective knowledge of carnivorous mammals.
Many particle accelerators rely on superconducting radiofrequency components made of niobium. Nuclear physicists found that dissolving oxygen atoms a few micrometers into niobium greatly improves the performance of components made of the metal. Now, the researchers are perfecting a model using different processes for adding oxygen. The model helps to predict and optimize component performance.
More mammals were living on the ground several million years before the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs, new research led by the University of Bristol has revealed.
Can concrete canoes float, or will they sink? That’s what hundreds of college students will discover during one of the signature competitions of the American Society of Civil Engineers’ Mid-Ame
A modified manufacturing process for electric vehicle batteries, developed by University of Michigan engineers, could enable high ranges and fast charging in cold weather, solving problems that are turning potential EV buyers away.
In Physics of Fluids, researchers present gum tragacanth as a plant-based alternative to gelatin for creating edible films. The team developed films containing different concentrations of gelatin and gum tragacanth and monitored their survivability in water and saline solutions.
Five scientists from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory — Ho Nyung Lee, David Graham, Andrew Sutton, Roger Rousseau and Troy Carter — have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, or AAAS.
An international team led by Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers has merged two lab-synthesized materials into a synthetic quantum structure once thought impossible to exist and produced an exotic structure expected to provide insights that could lead to new materials at the core of quantum computing. The work, described in a cover story in the journal Nano Letters, explains how four years of continuous experimentation led to a novel method to design and build a unique, tiny sandwich composed of distinct atomic layers.
A recent study introduces a triangular inverse shell element, referred to as iKS3, offering an accurate yet computationally efficient approach to Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of thin-walled structures.
Urbanization is reshaping soil microbial communities worldwide, driving an unexpected homogenization of bacterial populations while fungal communities remain more resistant to change. A groundbreaking study reveals that urban environments favor bacterial generalists, which adapt to diverse conditions, whereas fungi maintain specialized ecological roles.
A cutting-edge study has made significant advancements in battery lifetime prediction by utilizing transfer learning, a sophisticated approach that transfers knowledge across different data domains. This innovation enhances the accuracy of battery life predictions, a critical factor for ensuring product quality and accelerating progress in energy storage technologies.
Scientists have achieved a significant leap in aqueous Mg-ion battery technology by engineering a breakthrough cathode material (nickel oxide hydroxide (NiOOH)), and systematacially reveal the stable Mg-storage mechanism in NiOOH nanosheets. This innovative design significantly enhances aqueous Mg-ion battery performance, resolving long-standing challenges of balancing high voltage and high capacity.
The shape of nanoparticles depends on the choice of solvent and temperature during their growth, but the seed particles that form first are too small to measure accurately. Researchers have developed a new approach to successfully model seed particles with 100 to 200 atoms.
Van Andel Institute’s Hui Shen, Ph.D., has been elected to the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) College of Fellows, a prestigious appointment that represents the top 2% of medical and biological engineers.
A $5 million gift from the Springer-Lu Family Foundation of Massachusetts will establish an endowment to support the Aspirnaut program at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Supporters are invited to match this lead gift through a collective fundraising effort to secure Aspirnaut’s future.
Recognizing their outstanding contribution to Canada or on the international stage, the medal commemorates the crowning of the former Prince of Wales in 2022.
