Study quantifies satellite brightness, challenges ground-based astronomy
The ability to have access to the Internet or use a mobile phone anywhere in the world is taken more and more for granted, but the brightness of Internet and telecommunications satellites that enable global communications networks could pose problems for ground-based astronomy.
DOE Announces $264 Million for Basic Research in Support of Energy Earthshots™
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $264 million in funding for 29 projects to develop solutions for the scientific challenges underlying DOE’s Energy Earthshots™ Initiative to advance clean energy technologies within the decade. The funding will support 11 new Energy Earthshot Research Centers led by DOE National Laboratories and 18 university research teams addressing one or more of the Energy Earthshots™ that are focused on six different areas, including industrial decarbonization, carbon storage, and offshore wind. The Department launched the Energy Earthshots Initiative to spur decarbonization efforts that will help the United States meet President Biden’s ambitious climate and clean energy goals, including a 50% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030 and a net-zero carbon economy by 2050.
Milenkovic gaining biological insights by analyzing data embedded in non-Euclidean spaces
Olgica Milenkovic’s group has been developing machine learning approaches that can tell revealing new stories about biological phenomena—but her work has very old roots.
University of Illinois Professor Rakesh Kumar – expert on semiconductors, issues at the intersection of technology, policy, and society
Rakesh Kumar is professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with research and teaching interests in computer architecture. Kumar can serve as a source for articles at the intersection of technology, policy, and…
Demon hunting: Physicists confirm 67-year-old prediction of massless, neutral composite particle
In 1956, theoretical physicist David Pines predicted that electrons in a solid could form a composite particle called a demon. It’s eluded detection since its prediction….until now.
Study observes sudden acceleration of flow, generates new boundary layer
In an experiment on how turbulent boundary layers respond to acceleration in the flow around them, aerospace engineers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign observed an internal boundary layer that fundamentally changed the behavior of the flow from what would have been expected without it.
UIUC, U.S. Army ERDC sign agreements to enhance STEM collaborations
The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has announced the signing of an Educational Partnership Agreement and a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the United States Army Engineer Research and Development Center, the premier research and development center for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Predicting Future Flames
Wildfires can destroy homes, businesses, communities, infrastructure, and most importantly, lives. Researchers at CIRI are working on models to not only track wildfires, but also predict where they could spread to next.
A Cocktail Party of 3D-Printed Robot Heads #ASA184
Imagine a cocktail party full of 3D-printed, humanoid robots listening and talking to each other. That seemingly sci-fi scene is the goal of the Augmented Listening Laboratory at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. With precise control over the simulated subjects, the researchers can adjust the parameters of the experiment and even set the machines in motion to simulate neck movements. They will describe the talking human head simulators, and their work investigating how humans receive sound and developing audio technology, at the 184th ASA Meeting.
Composition of Joint Lubricant Potential Culprit Behind Osteoarthritis
The exact mechanism of cartilage breakdown in osteoarthritis is unknown, but damage from mechanical stress with insufficient self-repair is believed to be the main culprit. The composition of synovial fluid, or joint lubricant, changes significantly: The concentration and molecular weight of hyaluronic acid tends to decrease. In Biointerphases, researchers explore the disease-driven breakdown of hyaluronan and the mechanistic implications of these changes on the lubrication and subsequent wear of joints.
Como as formações geológicas rochosas estão revelando novos tratamentos para cálculos renais na Mayo Clinic
Os cálculos renais nos humanos são tão antigos quanto as pirâmides de Gizé no Egito. O cálculo renal mais antigo foi encontrado em um tecido mortuário egípcio de 4.400 a.C. No ano passado, a Mayo Clinic processou e analisou aproximadamente 90 mil cálculos renais de todo o mundo.
