An investigator at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has received international recognition for innovative imaging research that may help physicians identify patients at increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) before they undergo surgery for kidney tumors. Mira Liu, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow at the Mount Sinai BioMedical Engineering and Imaging Institute, received the prestigious W.S. Moore Award for Original Clinical Research at the 2026 International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine & International Society for MR Radiographers & Technologists Annual Meeting & Exhibition.

GNSS-A positioning, which combines satellite positioning of a sea-surface platform with underwater acoustic ranging, is essential for monitoring seafloor tectonic movements and improving global reference frames. 

At the 2026 Engineering Project Showcase, hundreds of student teams gathered in the Zachry Engineering Education Complex to present the results of months of work tackling current industry challenges. But for one team and one family, the event was a celebration of a life-changing medical advancement.

Chemical engineering graduate student Cassie Duclos has earned the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship, one of the nation’s most prestigious awards supporting graduate students conducting research in STEM disciplines.

Xiaowei Yue and colleagues propose a physical-mechanism-aided, transformer-based model capable of producing reliable predictions of wind shear. Wind shear, a sudden change in wind speed or direction, is a major cause of aviation incidents; it was responsible for 18% of aviation accidents in 2022. Predicting wind shear events is a priority for aviation safety, as it would allow pilots to avoid areas where wind shear is likely. 

A new study from Virginia Tech's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences pitted ordinary pets, trained by their owners, against experienced human searchers in a hunt for spotted lanternfly egg masses. It was the first test of community dog-handler teams in real-world conditions, where egg masses occur naturally, scents compete, and target locations are unknown. The dogs outperformed the people by more than 2 to 1 in densely vegetated areas.
