The American Meteorological Society (AMS), in partnership with the National Weather Association (NWA), today released a statement regarding the proposed elimination of NOAA Research. It reads in part, "If enacted, [the administration's 2026 budget passback plan] would close all of NOAA’s weather, climate, and ocean Laboratories and Cooperative Institutes. ... In effect, the scientific backbone and workforce needed to keep weather forecasts, alerts, and warnings accurate and effective will be drastically undercut, with unknown — yet almost certainly disastrous — consequences for public safety and economic health."

The University of Texas at Arlington, with 23 patents granted in 2024, helped propel The University of Texas System to No. 3 in the National Academy of Inventors’ prestigious top 100 ranking of U.S. universities awarded utility patents. The UT System’s 14 institutions are collectively ranked as a single entity in the National Academy of Inventors’ (NAI) annual report. UT Arlington’s 23 patents is a 15% jump from the previous year. 

ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, the world’s largest computing society, has joined India’s One Nation One Subscription (ONOS) initiative through a transformative new read-and-publish agreement with the ACM Open program.

Three investigations funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and sponsored by the International Space Station (ISSInternational Space Station) National Laboratory are launching on SpaceX’s 32nd Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) mission, contracted by NASANational Aeronautics and Space Administration. These experiments leverage the microgravityThe condition of perceived weightlessness created when an object is in free fall, for example when an object is in orbital motion. Microgravity alters many observable phenomena within the physical and life sciences, allowing scientists to study things in ways not possible on Earth. The International Space Station provides access to a persistent microgravity environment. environment to advance fundamental science that could lead to improved pharmaceutical manufacturing, new materials with valuable industrial applications, and the next generation of soft active materials with lifelike properties.

The World Cocoa Foundation (WCF) and the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT have assessed the most commonly used maps for environmental compliance.

Onboard the International Space Station (ISSInternational Space Station), the Extant Life Volumetric Imaging System, dubbed ELVIS, is not about resurrecting rock-n-roll legends but pioneering scientific discovery. Using innovative holographic technology to deliver detailed 3D views of cells and microbes, the system allows scientists to study the adaptability and resilience of life under extreme conditions. Knowledge gained could reveal how life might persist on distant moons and planets, significantly enhancing our search for life outside Earth.

FAU has been recognized as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Research (CAE-R) by the National Security Agency (NSA) and its partners in the National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity (NCAE-C). This prestigious designation, awarded through the academic year 2030, affirms the university’s leadership and innovation in the field of cybersecurity research at the doctoral level.

The 6G Test Center at the University of Oulu Finland has commenced testing services for corporate clients. The first client is the Finnish glass processing factory Tambest which also has export operations.

 

In dual-use products, innovation can arise from the intersection and combination of traditional products and features that meet future needs. The 6G Test Center already enables simulation of wireless communication scenarios of the 2030s. With the first client, various bulletproof glasses with signal interference protection were tested. The focus of the 6G Test Center's research is on dual-use technologies utilized in both civilian and defense sectors. The center is part of NATO's DIANA research network.
