A resounding victory for the University of Oldenburg, Germany: all three top-level research projects that submitted proposals to be Clusters of Excellence in the Excellence Strategy of the German federal and state governments have been approved and will receive funding for seven years. The topics of the Clusters are hearing research, animal navigation and marine sciences.

Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is an emerging technology for mechanical energy harvesting and self-powered sensing, which offers significant potential in intelligent sports by reducing battery dependency. This paper reviews the recent advancements in TENG applications for intelligent sports, toward the future application of artificial intelligence for sports.

Researchers from the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and the University of Iowa united insights from cellular biology, quantum computing, old-fashioned semiconductors and high-definition TVs to both create a revolutionary new quantum biosensor. In doing so, they shed light on a longstanding mystery in quantum materials.

University of Illinois Physics Professor Paul Kwiat and members of his research group have developed a revolutionary new tool for precision measurement at the nanometer scale in scenarios where background noise and optical loss from the sample are present. This new optical interferometry technology leverages the quantum properties of light—specifically, extreme color entanglement—to enable faster and more precise measurements than widely used classical and quantum techniques can achieve.
