University of California - San DiegoNew gamified tool helps defend satellite supply chains from cyber threats
University of South AustraliaAs the world’s reliance on satellites intensifies, so too does the risk of sophisticated cyberattacks targeting space-based systems and critical infrastructure, with almost 240 cyber hacks targeting the space sector in the past two years.
UCSF launches second neonatal transport to reach the bay and beyond
University of California - San Francisco— What’s New
In 2025, more than 400 critically ill infants were transported to UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals. UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals now have dedicated neonatal transport vehicles and teams in Oakland and San Francisco, reaching patients across the San Francisco Bay Area, the East Bay, Central Valley, and broader Northern California region. UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland serves the most patients for a freestanding pediatric trauma center in Northern California.
UTA physics grad sets sights on the stars
University of Texas at ArlingtonLike many kids, Shaan Patel spent nights staring at the sky in awe, wondering what existed beyond the stars. That curiosity has never faded.
Now, he’s turning it into a career, earning his Ph.D. in physics from The University of Texas at Arlington. Patel will walk across the graduation stage Friday morning at Globe Life Field, a defining moment for an out-of-state student who has become a standout example of what’s possible at UT Arlington.

Veterinary medicine research collaboration aims to reduce radiation threat to healthy soft tissue
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Cancer Center at IllinoisWhen delivering radiation therapy to a tumor, clinicians want to be as precise as possible, using imaging, such as CT scans, to ensure the radiation targets the right area. However, when a tumor is located within the chest cavity or within or near the lungs, it is difficult to know that the tumor is in the same place when it is treated as when it was imaged. Each breath can cause the tumor to shift in position, making it difficult for clinicians to accurately target cancer cells without harming nearby tissue. Researchers are working to combat this complex issue through their research project, Development and Translation of Data-Driven Four-Dimensional Radiotherapy.
