In an impressive display of creativity, collaboration and global impact, undergraduate students from around the world gathered at Rice University’s Bioscience Research Collaborative July 24 to present the results of their seven-week Summer Experience in Engineering Design (SEED) internship. This unique program, hosted by the Oshman Engineering Design Kitchen (OEDK) and the Rice360 Institute for Global Health Technologies, offers students the chance to work on real-world engineering problems in multidisciplinary teams.

A 2024 viewpoint led by researchers at Tohoku University’s AIMR reveals a strong correlation between hardness and ionic conductivity in NASICON-type solid electrolytes. By analyzing literature data, they identified relative density as a key factor, offering a practical strategy to enhance both properties for safer, high-performance sodium-ion batteries.

On July 29 (Tuesday), KIMM signed the MoU with NRCan in Montréal, Canada, to collaborate on technologies related to resource recovery and environmental sustainability. NRCan is a key science and technology department within the Canadian federal government, responsible for developing national policies and strategies as well as conducting innovative science and research in the areas of energy, critical mineral recovery, natural resources, and the environment.

A professor at the Indiana Univesity Luddy School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering has co-authored a paper in Cell detailing a decade-long effort to develop PhysiCell, a powerful open-source cancer modeling tool that democratizes biological simulation by allowing researchers to run complex virtual tissue experiments without writing code.

Across Kenya and Uganda, a transformative movement is reshaping the agricultural landscape, driven by the dynamic partnership between rural youth and established cooperative societies.

 

Through the CABI-led PlantwisePlus programme, young people are not just finding employment; they're becoming vital service providers and agri-entrepreneurs, dramatically improving farmer productivity, produce quality, and rural livelihoods.

A student-developed Augmented Reality project brings the marvels of Islamic art and heritage directly to our mobile phones

The vagus nerve, which takes a long, winding path from the brain to the large intestine and branches out to several organs along the way, is increasingly viewed as a potential key to the treatment of multiple medical and mental health conditions.

Space City Weather, a trusted source for the Gulf Coast, has published a new version of the Space City Weather Flood Scale with help from two psychologists at the University of Houston who examined what kind of language would be more user friendly and helpful in the time of a storm. 

A project led by the CU Department of Emergency Medicine turns a conference hotel into a hospital. ‘This could save countless lives during a crisis,’ a project leader says.

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) scholars harness the University’s multidisciplinary strengths to specialise in research on material synthesis, characterisation, and device fabrication for applications in lasers, photosensors and photothermal technologies. With a focus on synthesizing, processing and characterizing low-dimensional materials, the research led by Prof. Yuen Hong TSANG, Professor of the Department of Applied Physics and his team drives impactful applications across various fields of optics and photonics.
