The Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities (ABRF) is pleased to announce the selection of David Deamer, Ph.D., Research Professor of Biomolecular Engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz as the next recipient of the ABRF Award, which recognizes Outstanding Contributions to Biomolecular Technologies. Over his scientific career, Deamer has focused on biological and synthetic membranes. In 1989, Deamer proposed that it may be possible to sequence a DNA molecule by passing it through a nanoscopic pore embedded in a lipid bilayer membrane.
Stents to treat various blockages in the human body can themselves become blocked, but a new sensor developed at the University of Michigan for stents that are used in the bile duct may one day help doctors detect and treat stent blockages early, helping keep patients healthier.
Researchers at Binghamton University, State University of New York have developed artificial plants that purify indoor air and generate electricity.
The research team, led by Dr. In-Deok Park at KIMM, successfully developed an underwater laser cutting technology.
Chandrasekhar Putcha, Cal State Fullerton professor emeritus of civil and environmental engineering, has used math to answer the question on everyone’s minds every four years since 2008: Who will be the next U.S. president?
A Korean joint research team has developed a technology to produce high-value-added plastic raw materials called dicarboxylic acids (α,ω-diacids) by recycling mixed waste plastics.
The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) has become the first in the world to observe the structural evolution of solute molecules in extremely supersaturated aqueous solutions, revealing that changes in molecular symmetry impact on the formation of new metastable material phases.

Researchers reporting in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology Letters explored whether wildfire suppressants could be a source of elevated metal levels sometimes found in waterways after wildfires are extinguished. Several products they investigated contained high levels of at least one metal.
Tayia Oddonetto, a doctoral student at The University of Texas at El Paso, developed electrodialysis metathesis, a novel approach to the desalination of brine, or salt, water that can convert over 90% of salt water to fresh water. The research earned Oddonetto first place and funding from the NSF Engineering Research Centers Perfect Pitch Competition.
Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign explore how a multimode propulsion system that integrates both a chemical high-thrust mode and an electric low-thrust mode—while using the same propellant—can succeed.
Argonne develops a breakthrough material for the cathode in lithium-ion batteries. It enables an across-the-board improvement in battery performance, supporting widespread adoption of electric vehicles and grid batteries.
The research team led by Dr. Jeong Min Park from the Nano Materials Research Division at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) has successfully developed a new high-performance metal 3D-printed alloy tailored for space environments.
Professor Sir John Pendry, an HKIAS Senior Fellow and a distinguished figure in physics known for his pioneering work on metamaterials, visited City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) from October 20 to October 26, 2024. His visit featured a series of engaging sessions and lectures.
Dr. Avimanyu Sahoo, a researcher at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), has been awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) award totaling $299,969 to characterize the vulnerability of the learning-based intelligent cyber-physical systems (CPS) and defend them. The CPS represents a symbiotic integration of physical systems, sensors, actuators and learning-based intelligent controllers through communication networks such as smart grids, robotic swarms and autonomous vehicles.
An engineer with decades of experience in industry and higher education will serve as the CEO of the Upstate New York Energy Storage Engine led by Binghamton University, State University of New York.
The Johns Hopkins University and Johns Hopkins Medicine, together with descendants of Henrietta Lacks, broke ground today on the future site of the building named in honor of Mrs. Lacks, the Baltimore County woman whose HeLa cells have contributed to medical advancements around the world.
Chulalongkorn University extends its congratulations to Associate Professor Dr. Ronnapee Chaichaowarat, a lecturer from the International Engineering Program at the Faculty of Engineering, for reaching the final round of the 2024 Young Technologist Award, organized by the Foundation for the Promotion of Science and Technology under the Patronage of His Majesty the King.
Tulane University will host the Tulane Future of Energy Forum in New Orleans on Nov. 13-15. The forum, which is free and open to the public, will bring together global leaders to discuss innovative strategies for meeting energy demands while transitioning to a lower-carbon future. This year’s theme, Can Energy Pragmatism Secure Our Energy Future?, will focus on practical solutions, featuring high-caliber speakers, cutting-edge research and opportunities to engage with key decision-makers across the energy sector.
The research team of Dr. Byeongjin Park and Dr. Sang Bok Lee at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS), has developed the world's first ultra-thin film composite material capable of absorbing over 99% of electromagnetic waves from various frequency bands (such as 5G/6G, WiFi, and autonomous driving radar) using a single material.
