Through a partnership with the University of Pittsburgh’s NSF Center for Space, High-Performance & Resilient Computing (SHREC) and Lockheed Martin, two undergraduates engineering students at Pitt had a unique opportunity to develop and deploy applications to a satellite in geosynchronous orbit (GEO), 22,236 miles above the earth.

Scientists are testing nanoparticle imaging to monitor how immune cells target and attack cancer.

Now mandated by law, Lincoln Laboratory's blackout drills are improving national security and ensuring mission readiness for over 33 installations. 

The University of Rochester’s 110-year-old chemical engineering department recently changed its name to the Department of Chemical and Sustainability Engineering, signaling the disciplines are closely intertwined and central to delivering affordable, reliable, and secure technologies with lower impacts on air, water, land, and communities. 

Fall is in the air and thoughts turn to pumpkins, cider and brightly colored leaves. According to experts at the University of New Hampshire’s Extension, despite drought conditions in the Northeast there should be plenty of leaf peeping opportunities this year, it is just happening a little earlier.

Georgia State researchers are joining a bold global mission: to build a revolutionary telescope that could detect life beyond our solar system. An "audacious" leap that might change how we see our place in the universe.

SAN ANTONIO — October 1, 2025 — Surface features on asteroid 52246 Donaldjohanson, as identified by the Southwest Research Institute-led Lucy Mission, have been given official names by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The surface features of the carbonaceous asteroid will be named for significant paleoanthropological sites and discoveries. The NASA Lucy spacecraft flew past the asteroid on April 20, 2025.

Proper maintenance of underground infrastructure is crucial for a city’s sustainable development. However, with its high-density underground utilities, such maintenance work is particularly challenging in Hong Kong. A research team from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has leveraged advanced underground exploration technologies to develop underground utilities inspection systems that support early detection of urban infrastructure anomalies, including voids and pipe leakages, for enhanced urban management.

Using an advanced method, researchers at TU Graz and the Centre for Electron Microscopy have detected plastic in the roots of wheat plants. Whether the particles reach the ears of grain will be shown by further tests.
