Newswise — The Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (KFE) announced that they have experimentally verified that KSTAR’s superconducting magnets maintain maximum performance even after 16 years of continuous operation. KSTAR’s superconducting magnets are composed of bundles of 0.8 mm superconducting wires, each coated with a 2-micrometer-thick layer of chromium to ensure insulation. However, with repeated…
Newswise — President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will visit Tulane University today to announce that the university will be awarded up to almost $23 million to create an imaging system that will give doctors the ability to scan a tumor during surgery and determine within minutes whether any cancer tissue has been…
Newswise — As the demand for energy storage diversifies, the limitations of lithium supplies drive a shift towards alternative technologies. Sodium, potassium, magnesium, and zinc-ion batteries emerge as promising contenders, yet face challenges in capacity, charge-discharge rate, and stability. This backdrop underscores the need for innovative approaches like carrier pre-intercalation to elevate the electrochemical performance…
Newswise — University of Hartford students will have the opportunity for advanced training in biomedical research, thanks to a more than $1.6 million award from the National Institutes of Health secured by Department of Biology faculty, Department Co-Chair and Professor Aime Levesque and Assistant Professor Cindy Thomas-Charles. The U-RISE Program (Undergraduate Research Training Initiative for…
Newswise — The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has won a three-year, $1 million ADVANCE grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to mitigate barriers that impede the advancement of underrepresented STEM faculty across the Urbana-Champaign campus. Those barriers were identified in an institutional self-study conducted by the Institute for Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Access (IDEA Institute) in The Grainger College of Engineering….
BYLINE: Lindsey Byars Newswise — Apple unveiled the iPhone 16 on Monday, a device designed around Apple Intelligence, the company’s generative artificial intelligence (AI) offering. This new feature promises a highly personalized experience that goes beyond AI, but what does that mean for avid iPhone users? As AI continues to appear in our everyday lives,…
Newswise — The cost effectiveness of wind farms could be significantly improved by reducing the speed of wind turbines that are clustered together, which could improve their longevity and also reduce noise pollution. A team of researchers from the University of Adelaide led by Dr Rey Chin looked at the operation conditions of wind turbines,…
Newswise — An innovative “energy harvester,”* capable of continuously producing electrical energy by utilizing the movement of the sodium ions contained in seawater, has been newly developed. This technology is anticipated to find applications as a source technology in a wide range of sectors including water-based energy harvesting and eco-friendly energy technologies.* Energy harvester: An…
Newswise — New concepts for nuclear reactors vary in their fuel types and configurations, but each concept will have to undergo a rigorous safety analysis and evaluation before it can even begin to be built. To that end, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory are working to help develop new…
Newswise — Irvine, Calif., Sept. 9, 2024 — University of California, Irvine scholars, scientists and physicians continue to blaze new paths to help improve the world. In fiscal 2023-24, which ended June 30, UC Irvine received the most research funding in campus history: $668 million in grants and contracts. Awards from federal and state agencies,…
