- ORNL-led research supporting materials science for neuromorphic computing and neurological disorders shows lipid bilayers are an integral part of biological memory and learning - Latest findings are the result of a decades-long collaboration between two Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists. - To study membrane properties under electrical stimulation, the researchers used water droplets suspended in oil, known as a droplet interface bilayer.

Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) is co-engineering key infrastructure to create a deep-sea neutrino telescope that will transform vast stretches of deep ocean into a massive neutrino detector. The technology innovation will give scientists a glimpse into the universe from under the sea. 

The emergence of brain-inspired (neuromorphic) computing offers a promising route to overcome the limitations of conventional von Neumann architectures in artificial intelligence (AI). While traditional systems separate memory and computation—resulting in high energy consumption—the human brain integrates these functions efficiently within a compact structure. Addressing this gap, the research from Prof. HAN Suting, Associate Professor of Department of Chemistry at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, focuses on memristor-based neuromorphic hardware, enabling AI systems that more closely emulate biological intelligence.

A record-breaking bloom of sargassum seaweed is blanketing South Florida’s shores this summer. But inside a lab at the University of Miami Rosesntiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science, researchers see something else entirely: an opportunity hidden within the intrusive and ubiquitous weed.

One year ago, Savannah River National Laboratory opened the doors to the Advanced Manufacturing Collaborative, a facility built with a bold purpose and a clear vision as a nexus of innovation. Today, the AMC stands proudly as a place where industry, academia, and government come together to pioneer technologies that advance national security, environmental stewardship, and energy resilience. It has quickly become a home where collaboration thrives, integration drives impact, and ideas are transformed into purposeful solutions for the nation.

Researchers at Michigan State University and their conservation partners have helped pull one of the world’s rarest butterflies back from the brink of extinction. Working alongside many partners including John Ball Zoo, Minnesota Zoo, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, the team transformed one of North America’s most vulnerable butterflies into a growing conservation success.
