Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) developed a smart monitoring system that applies digital sensing technology to maintain and manage small- and medium-sized aging bridges.
Dr. Hyang-Tag Lim's research team at the KIST has implemented a quantum computing algorithm that can estimate interatomic bond distances and ground state energies with chemical accuracy using fewer resources than conventional methods, and has succeeded in performing accurate calculations without the need for additional quantum error mitigation techniques.
Algorithms that can detect subtle changes in a person’s voice are emerging as a potential new diagnostic tool for Parkinson’s disease, according to researchers from Iraq and Australia.
Small modular reactors could play key role in rebuilding a clean economy in post-war Ukraine. Argonne scientists will assess the emerging technology in new research.
University of Washington researchers developed a system for detecting subtle biases in AI models. They found seven of the eight popular AI models they tested in conversations around race and caste generated significant amounts of biased text in interactions — particularly when discussing caste. Open-source models fared far worse than two proprietary ChatGPT models.
In a new study, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign evaluated far-ultraviolet C (far-UVC) light as a safe way to alleviate fungal contamination of corn and wheat and found this technology to be effective.
Entangled quantum bits per second (ebps) indicates a quantum network’s throughput. In this study, researchers collected ebps measurements over a suite of fiber connections on a quantum network testbed. They then compared these measurements with capacity estimates for a conventional fiber-optic network at a range of distances. The study finds that ebps throughput decays sharply with distance in ways that differ from conventional networks.
The recent boom in artificial intelligence technology, such as ChatGPT, has raised many questions about the real potential of these tools in the business world. In a new paper, Felipe Csaszar, professor of strategy, explores several ways AI can be used to make critical strategic decisions.
Alessandro Vasciaveo, PhD, joined Sanford Burnham Prebys as an assistant professor in computational biology and artificial intelligence in fall 2024. He uses his training and experience as a scientist and engineer to advance knowledge of human biology through research, and to identify novel treatments and cures for diseases.
Adapted from Smith’s existing 14-credit graduate certificate program, the self-paced new course is designed to prepare participants to “think like a chief technology officer, chief innovation officer or government technology program executive in any size organization.”
Four summer undergrad fellows conducting research at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory talk about their work developing quantum technologies and how they’re excited to be a part of a burgeoning field.
Research by Lixian Guo at the University of Canterbury may make it possible to keep electronic devices powered with another piece of equipment you’re likely to bring with you while exploring the great outdoors: camping stoves. Guo’s work focuses on using the excess heat produced by stoves to create a thermoacoustic engine, which converts thermal energy into acoustic energy.
GNOMX Corp. has been awarded a $749,700 contract by the Division of Research, Innovation, and Ventures (DRIVe) within the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The contract will support the development of an immune dysregulation host-based assay on a CLIA lab-compatible PCR instrument to predict risk of post-discharge deterioration and hospitalization readmission of sepsis patients.
A research team led by Dr. Choi, Young-chan from the Clean Air Research Laboratory at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has successfully converted cashew nut shells, discarded during cashew nut food product manufacturing, into an eco-friendly biofuel.
A groundbreaking review article delves into the critical challenges facing electric vehicle (EV) battery technology, offering insights into current research trends and future advancements. The study examines the performance, safety, and environmental impact of various battery types, including lithium-ion and solid-state batteries. It also explores innovative management techniques and highlights the importance of developing cost-effective, sustainable, and safe battery solutions to support the growth of electric mobility.
Traditional police training lacks practical tools for handling mental health crises, leaving officers underprepared. New research provides a promising avenue for addressing this gap using VR training by immersing officers in realistic scenarios.
A new study unveils a breakthrough approach to detecting fatigue cracks in Orthotropic steel bridge decks (OSDs) using advanced robotics and deep learning. By automating the identification of internal cracks that are critical to bridge safety, this technology marks a significant leap forward in structural health monitoring.
The Uniformed Services University’s (USU) Consortium for Health and Military Performance (CHAMP) is creating a comprehensive holistic health approach program tailored for the U.S. Space Force.
A recent study emphasizes the critical role of entrepreneurship education within universities as a catalyst for addressing urgent global challenges. By integrating the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into their curricula, higher education institutions are uniquely positioned to foster innovation and cultivate the skills necessary for students to become effective change agents. This research underscores the potential of university-wide entrepreneurial initiatives to drive societal progress in areas such as climate change mitigation, poverty reduction, and technological advancement.
