The unanimous 1954 U.S. Supreme Court ruling declared that separating children in public schools by race was unconstitutional.This week marks the 70th anniversary of the ruling.
The DOE’s CyberForce Adventure Competition 2024 awarded [NAME] from [UNIVERSITY] as the winner, one of [0] students who competed in this event, as part of the CyberForce program aiming to bridge the growing cybersecurity workforce gap in the United States.
The Pacific Offshore Wind Consortium (POWC) is a joint effort between three university research centers: the Schatz Energy Research Center at Cal Poly Humboldt, the Pacific Marine Energy Center at Oregon State University, and the Center for Coastal Marine Sciences at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. These universities are housed in and support the coastal communities in California and Oregon which are anticipated to host floating offshore wind development.
University of Utah researchers document a close association between the pest’s spread and warming temperatures. Their study includes an online tool that forecasts the adelgid spread across the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest based on various climate scenarios.
Houston’s Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU), the first specialized ambulance for pre-hospital stroke treatment in the United States, has a new look and updated imaging and treatment capabilities.
A team led by researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory explored training strategies for one of the largest artificial intelligence models to date with help from Frontier, the world’s fastest supercomputer. The findings could help guide training for a new generation of AI models for scientific research.
Survey reveals nearly three-quarters of U.S. adults support using emerging technology to screen embryos during IVF for risk of developing certain health conditions or traits that arise from more than one gene. Only about one-third of respondents approved of using the technology to predict traits unrelated to disease. Nearly all expressed concerns about potential negative outcomes for individuals or society. Findings underscore need for public education about benefits, limitations, ethical hazards of polygenic risk scores for embryos.
Microtoroid resonators are one of the most sensitive biochemical sensors, capable of detecting single molecules. Light is most commonly coupled into these sensors using a fragile and vibration-sensitive tapered optical fiber, preventing translation to field-portable sensing. Scientists from the University of Arizona have achieved far-field coupling of light to ultra-high quality factor microtoroids using a single objective lens. This is the foundation of a fully on-chip multiplexed microtoroid sensing platform.
Understanding the solid target ultrafast phase transitions induced by a high-intensity ultra-short laser pulse is crucial to many applications as laser-induced ablation or laser-driven ion acceleration. Scientists from Germany and France have used a single-shot probing technique that reveals the transition dynamics of the target from cold solid to overdense plasma. The physical processes at play are elucidated by a unique combination of simulation models accounting for both solid and plasma states.
