USC researchers have developed flexible MRI sensors that can be customized to individual patients and 3D-printed in less than 10 minutes for about $30. In testing, the sensors produced roughly four times greater image contrast than standard commercial versions.

Governor Kathy Hochul today announced a milestone in the partnership between the State University of New York at Stony Brook and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory to extend New York State's existing quantum communications network. The successful experiment by researchers at both institutions marks a key step in advancing this partnership and the cutting-edge quantum technology needed to expand the quantum network across the state. The expansion of the quantum communications network will enable new discoveries across various industrial sectors, bolster research and cybersecurity, improve computer operations including for large language models, and unlock new opportunities to improve New Yorkers’ lives.

In partnership with A.J. Tuck Company, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed a new manufacturing approach that could simplify production of critical components for advanced nuclear reactors and other energy and defense applications. The method combines 3D printing and electroforming to produce complex, leak-free hot isostatic pressing (HIP) cans, sealed containers used to form high-performance metal parts from powder materials under high heat and pressure. This approach for making HIP cans could speed up production and reduce reliance on constrained supply chains.

Researchers from the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture and collaborating institutions found that electron beam (eBeam) technology shows promise as a way to improve the safety of poultry products by reducing harmful foodborne pathogens while maintaining meat quality.

A new study from the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) and the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) has shown that redesigning India’s cereal cultivation patterns around nitrogen management could significantly reduce environmental damage while maintaining calorie production and improving agricultural sustainability.

Harvard engineers have developed Mobilio, a smartphone app that uses AI, built-in sensors and personalized audio beeps to give users with blindness or low vision continuous guidance and obstacle avoidance.
