DeMarco and Johnson join Governor Pritzker to announce the Illinois DARPA Quantum Proving Ground
Illinois Grainger Engineering physics professor Brian DeMarco stood on stage in Chicago on Tuesday when Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker announced the new federal- and state-funded Quantum Proving Ground (QPG), which promises to combine scientific rigor with industry and academic expertise to design the future of quantum computing.
ASU receives $4.5M grant to educate the next generation of cybersecurity professionals
The American Cybersecurity Education Initiative will develop a master’s degree in cybersecurity systems at the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University.
DARPA projects designing microelectronics platforms for the future
The recipient of grants from the U.S. Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, totaling $22.4 million, ASU Professor Daniel Bliss is now working on two advanced computing projects, both of which are producing reimagined “chips,” or microprocessors, that are the foundation for most of today’s electronics — from supercomputers to smart devices to the technology that makes autonomous vehicles self-driving.
Researchers Leverage Pathogen “Fingerprints” in Blood to Accelerate Infection Diagnosis
MEDIA ADVISORY UNDER EMBARGO UNTIL DECEMBER 21, 2022 in Cell Systems Corresponding Authors: Elena Zaslavsky, PhD, Associate Professor of Neurology, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai; Steven H. Kleinstein, PhD, Anthony Brady Professor of Pathology at Yale School of…
Study Explores Sex Differences in the Effects of SARS-CoV-2 in Young Adults
Suggests a more proactive, innate immune response among females
DARPA project to give satellites a shared, optical language
ASU’s WISCA Research Center awarded finding for DARPA’s Space-Based Adaptive Communications Node program, known as Space-BACN. Space-BACN. The initiative aims to create a low-cost, reconfigurable optical communications terminal that adapts to most optical intersatellite link standards.
Solving algorithm ‘amnesia’ reveals clues to how we learn
A discovery about how algorithms can learn and retain information more efficiently offers potential insight into the brain’s ability to absorb new knowledge. The findings by researchers at the University of California, Irvine School of Biological Sciences could aid in combatting cognitive impairments and improving technology.
It’s Only Natural: Separation And Purification Of Rare-Earth Elements By Microorganisms
Using naturally occurring and engineered proteins and bacteria, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists and collaborators will separate and purify rare-earth elements so they can be used in the defense sector.
PNNL AI Expert Harnesses Open-Source Data to Understand Human Behavior
PNNL researchers used natural language processing and deep learning techniques to reveal how and why different types of misinformation and disinformation spread across social platforms. Applied to COVID-19, the team found that misinformation intended to influence politics and incite fear spreads fastest.
Researchers create robots that can transform their wheels into legs
A team of researchers is creating mobile robots for military applications that can determine, with or without human intervention, whether wheels or legs are more suitable to travel across terrains. The adaptable Wheel-and-Leg Transformable Robot can traverse over varying surfaces, including staircases, more efficiently.
$13.48M Awarded To Johns Hopkins Scientists To Develop Implantable Ultrasound Devices For Patients With Spinal Cord Injury
A team of Johns Hopkins neurosurgeons and biomedical engineers has received $13.48 million from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop implantable ultrasound and other devices that could revolutionize care for people suffering from spinal cord injuries. The results could benefit thousands of U.S. service members and civilians who sustain spinal cord injuries every year.
From Plastic to Protein Powder
Michigan Tech researchers have been selected for a $7.2 million DARPA cooperative agreement award to turn military plastic waste into protein powder and lubricants.
S&T Transitions Next-Generation Explosives Trace Detection Technology to DARPA
DHS S&T transitioned technology to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that is representative of S&T’s deep body of work in cataloging, detecting and thwarting explosive threats.
OU Researcher Receives Department of Defense Young Faculty Award
Justin Metcalf, assistant professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Gallogly College of Engineering at the University of Oklahoma, has received a Young Faculty Award from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
“One-Way” Electronic Devices Enter the Mainstream
Columbia engineers are the first to build a high-performance non-reciprocal device on a compact chip with a performance 25 times better than previous work. The new chip, which can handle several watts of power (enough for cellphone transmitters that put out a watt or so of power), was the leading performer in a DARPA SPAR program to miniaturize these devices and improve performance metrics.
Penn State engineer receives DARPA grant to strengthen cybersecurity
A parser, the element in a computer system that converts data inputs into an understandable format, is the first line of defense for cybersecurity. A multi-institute group of researchers that includes Gang Tan, assistant professor of computer science and engineering in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Penn State, has received an $8 million grant that allots $1 million for Penn State’s part of the research to increase computer security by developing more secure parsers.
