Researchers at University of Chicago are developing some of the world’s most advanced biological sensors to better understand neurodegenerative diseases at the molecular level. These sensors can perform measurements of biological processes that are not accessible by current technologies and detect diseases before they manifest clinically.

A team of researcher at Goethe University Frankfurt, as part of the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration, used high-performance computing resources at the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) and the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) to create high-resolution models of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

The pandemic inspired an interest in how resilient our nation’s production and distribution systems are, against similar large-scale social disruptions as well as climate-related impacts. An INL research team interested in addressing these challenges identified food and agriculture as one sector to better understand. From there, they searched for an appropriate commodity to serve as their first official case study. For an Idaho-based team, the three most obvious options were milk, wheat and potatoes.

Creating a machine learning agent to ease interactions between participants in virtual and augmented reality environments —such as the metaverse— in order to help them achieve their goals and address conflict situations. This is the main objective of GuestXR, the European project under the coordination of professor Mel Slater, from the Faculty of Phycology and the Institute of Neurosciences of the University of Barcelona (UBNeuro).

A new control system shows promise in making millions of homes contributors to improved power grid operations, reaping cost and environmental benefits.
