There are not many classes that allow students to live beachside, wander tidal pools just outside of their lecture hall, take home their own dissected shark skull and crew an offshore research survey. Biology of Sharks and Rays is the exception.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Scott DeNeale studies in-conduit hydropower, a type of largely unutilized energy production that harnesses the water flowing through water pipes in municipal settings and industrial plants to make energy, no dam required.

Rather than simply recounting history as a linear narrative through lectures or displays, this experience lets players immerse themselves in a more nuanced, simulated past.

Boise State University marketing professors, Shikhar Sarin and Trina Sego, have coauthored two papers published in the Academy of Marketing Science Review that examine a long-debated issue in the tech sector: how companies can successfully secure early-mover advantages. Titled “Securing Early-Mover Advantage in Technology Markets: Insights from the Field on the Contingent Influence of Organizational Will and Skill” and “Contingent Influences of Innovation Characteristics and Firm Capabilities on Early-Mover Advantages: A Conceptual Framework for High-Tech Environments,” the studies analyze how factors such as organizational capabilities, strategic intent, and the nature of innovation shape whether being first to market leads to sustained competitive benefits.

At the University of Missouri, breakthrough discoveries are powered by cutting-edge tools, expert support and collaborative spaces.

Across campus, Mizzou’s advanced technology core facilities bring shared access to advanced technologies that help researchers quickly move ideas from concept to impact. These spaces allow scientists to tackle pressing challenges, develop better treatments, strengthen agriculture and drive the state’s economy forward.

AI analysis of facial features finds demographic differences, not mathematical ratios, shape perceptions of beauty, highlighting bias in training data.

What is data? How is it created? What does it consist of? Can it be objective? These are theoretical questions that interest Professor Miriah Meyer, who is originally from the US but now works in Sweden. But as AI development accelerates, she also wants to contribute practical knowledge that enables us, as humans, to shape a better future.

The new HiWHyV project will establish Sweden's first large-scale hydrogen valley, covering renewable hydrogen production, storage, distribution, and use at a commercial scale and in real-life conditions across Sweden.  

LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 28, 2026) — Coal has long been the fuel at the heart of energy production in the Commonwealth. Kentuckians often grow up with stories of their grandfather’s days in the mines. But researchers at the University of Kentucky are finding ways to repurpose coal for energy storage — in the form of lithium-ion batteries.
