A joint research team led by Dr. Gyujin Song of the Korea Institute of Energy Research (President: Yi, Chang-Keun, hereafter “KIER”), Dr. Kwon-Hyung Lee of the University of Cambridge, and Professor Tae-Hee Kim of the University of Ulsan has successfully developed a new dry-process manufacturing technology for secondary battery electrodes that overcomes the limitations of conventional electrode fabrication processes.

EMBARGOED: A new study to be presented Dec. 6 at the 2025 American Society of Hematology (ASH) meeting reveals that even subtle disruptions in genome architecture can predispose individuals to lymphoma. This finding offers a new perspective on understanding and eventually treating blood cancers.

UNC-Chapel Hill researchers show that AI can rapidly and accurately georeference plant specimens, transforming the digitization of global biodiversity collections.

Since most people carry their phones with them every day, Shogo Takada is working on a way to use smartphone microphones to assist in locating disaster victims. The method combines two types of sound sources, monopole and dipole. In a disaster situation, a rescuer would emit two dipole sounds, which would be received by the microphone of a trapped victim, and then an electromagnetic wave would be sent from the victim’s phone to broadcast their location.

A major advancement in sustainable materials science: WPI researchers have engineered a new construction material that not only rivals concrete—it actually captures carbon during production. This breakthrough could change how we build homes, buildings, and infrastructure, offering a new pathway to low-carbon, resilient construction.

Scientists have made a nano breakthrough with a huge potential impact – one that puts printable electronics on the horizon. The scientists have solved a long-standing mystery governing the way layered materials behave, which has yielded a universal, predictive framework for the future of the 2D semiconductor industry.   

Imagine wearable health sensors, smart packaging, flexible displays, or disposable IoT controllers all manufactured like printed newspapers. The same technology could underpin communication circuits, sensors, and signal-processing components made entirely from solution-processed 2D materials.

But until now, finding and developing the 2D materials that could enable such devices was largely trial and error.

For his forward-leaning research into quantum sensing, U.S. Navy Cmdr. Jens Berdahl, a former naval aviator and F/A-18 pilot pursuing his doctorate at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) through the service’s Permanent Military Professor (PMP) program, was presented with the highly competitive Margaret Burbidge Award for Best Experimental Research by a Graduate Student by the American Physical Society, Far West Section.
