Materials with enhanced thermal conductivity are critical for the development of advanced devices to support applications in communications, clean energy and aerospace. But in order to engineer materials with this property, scientists need to understand how phonons, or quantum units of the vibration of atoms, behave in a particular substance.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory is teaming up with partner laboratories, minority serving institutions (MSIs), and a key industry partner, FedTech, to launch a pilot fellowship program that will connect top entrepreneurial talent within the MSI community with opportunities to commercialize DOE technologies.
Nidhi Sahni, Ph.D., associate professor of Epigenetics and Molecular Carcinogenesis at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, has been awarded the 2024 Mary Beth Maddox Award and Lectureship in cancer research from the Texas Academy of Medicine, Engineering, Science and Technology (TAMEST).
Prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart defects – the most common birth defects in the United States – is associated with improved outcomes. Despite its importance, however, overall prevalence of prenatal diagnosis is low (12-50 percent). A recent multi-center study surveyed caretakers of infants who received congenital heart surgery in the Chicago area and found that social determinants or influencers of health constitute significant barriers to prenatal diagnosis from the patients’ perspective.
Nabsolute Co., Ltd., a startup from the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Science, Chulalongkorn University, developer of Hy-N, an innovative biopolymer delivery system that improves the efficiency of cosmeceuticals, medicines, and vaccines, received the 2023 National Innovation Award in the economic category as a small and micro-enterprise from the National Innovation Agency (NIA).

It also identifies the regions in which these strategies could best benefit future populations.
Nature Communications today published research by an international team from Wits and ICFO- The Institute of Photonic Sciences, which demonstrates the teleportation-like transport of “patterns” of light – this is the first approach that can transport images across a network without physically sending the image, and a crucial step towards realising a quantum network for high-dimensional entangled states.
