Green technology requires mined materials — and a workforce to meet demand
Virginia Tech

The mining industry is booming, but the industry is digging deep to find highly trained mining engineers. Across all sectors, from consumer electronics to the defense industry and from automotive manufacturing to aerospace, mineral needs are increasing. In particular, green energy technologies such as electric vehicle batteries, solar panels, grid energy storage, and wind turbines require such metals as copper, lithium, cobalt, rare earths, and manganese.

Research aims to improve data quality in manufacturing, seeking 'golden data'
Virginia Tech

If artificial intelligence (AI) was a car, data would be the fuel. But what if there was no way to ensure that fuel wasn’t full of waste? How would this fuel be filtered, and how would that information reach consumers? Ran Jin, associate professor in the Grado Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, is determined to fuel AI models in the Manufacturing Industrial Internet with high-quality data.

Superconducting Electronics Show Promise for Future Collider Experiments
Department of Energy, Office of Science

When superconductors encounter too much current, they can become resistive. Researchers can design microscopic electronic components that use this effect to create a switch, like a transistor. The resulting nanowire superconducting switching devices (called nano-cryotrons, or nTrons) show promise for future superconducting electronics or particle detectors.

Cell’s ‘Garbage Disposal’ May Have Another Role: Helping Neurons Near Skin Sense the Environment
Johns Hopkins Medicine

The typical job of the proteasome, the garbage disposal of the cell, is to grind down proteins into smaller bits and recycle some of those bits and parts. That’s still the case, for the most part, but, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers, studying nerve cells grown in the lab and mice, say that the proteasome’s role may go well beyond that.

American Academy of Dermatology Association Statement on Reports on Counterfeit Injectables
American Academy of Dermatology

ROSEMONT, Ill. (Apr. 11, 2024) — The American Academy of Dermatology Association is alarmed by reports of patients suffering from illnesses resembling botulism after undergoing procedures that use possible counterfeit botulinum toxin, also known as botox. The concerning rise in counterfeit injectables poses a grave threat to patient safety, potentially resulting in severe complications such as visual impairment, blindness, infection or even stroke.
