The Science and Technology Park of the Universitat Jaume I makes a annual monitoring of companies linked to Espaitec through a series of indicators, which detail data related to billing, investment in R&D&I, employability, knowledge transfer and collaboration between university and company, among other aspects.

A total of 557 people carry out their professional activity in the companies located in the Park, being 396 men and 161 womenAmong them, 166 workers carry out skilled employment tasks directly related to research, development and innovation, representing 29,8%.

Regarding the integration of university talent, in 2025 companies linked to Espaitec hosted 101 students for curricular internships. As for the hiring of graduates from Universitat Jaume I, a total of 57 graduates joined the companies in the Park.

A new genomic approach is helping improve crop resilience.

From a reusable surgical stapler designed for low-resource hospitals to an AI-powered tool that helps mothers detect neonatal jaundice early, student innovators from across the globe gathered at Rice University’s BioScience Research Collaborative to tackle some of the world’s most urgent health challenges. The 16th annual Rice360 Undergraduate Global Health Technologies Design Competition, held April 24, brought together 22 teams from seven countries to present low-cost, scalable solutions aimed at improving care in resource-limited settings

From the skies over Ukraine to the southern U.S. border, drones are transforming the nature of global conflict and domestic security. Unauthorized unmanned aerial systems, and efforts to detect, track, identify and mitigate them, shape homeland security operations daily.

Dr. Hanim Ecem Diktas, a postdoctoral researcher in Pennington Biomedical’s Ingestive Behavior, Weight Management and Health Promotion Laboratory, has been named the Center’s Outstanding Postdoctoral Fellow for 2025. Nominated by Dr. Corby Martin and Dr. John Apolzan, Dr. Diktas has quickly distinguished herself through a strong record of scholarly achievement, including 11 peer-reviewed publications, 22 abstracts and poster presentations, and service as a peer reviewer for five scientific journals.

Her research focuses on understanding children’s eating behaviors in real-world settings and leveraging innovative, technology-based tools to support healthier outcomes for families. In the following Q&A, Dr. Diktas shares insights into her academic journey, her current work and her advice for those pursuing a career in research.

Hole structures in advanced components are common sites of fatigue crack initiation. A new hole-strengthening method, Hertz contact rotation expansion processing (HCR-EP), improves surface integrity in Inconel 718 superalloy while avoiding the trade-offs of conventional techniques. Interrupted fatigue tests reveal that compressive residual stress relaxation is the dominant factor governing fatigue life improvement under high-temperature service conditions.

Ten high-frequency “Kuma Sonic” bear deterrent devices were installed in April 2026 in Shirakawa Village, Gifu Prefecture, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its gassho-style farmhouses. The initiative follows a sharp rise in bear sightings, which nearly quadrupled in one year, alongside growing tourism. Developed by T.M.WORKS and studied by Okayama University of Science, the devices aim to prevent human–bear encounters by emitting sound unpleasant to bears. The installation is part of a broader strategy including habitat management and public safety measures.

Using artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance transportation safety. Revolutionizing data centers to shape a sustainable AI future. Here are just a few ways Maryland is engineering the future of AI.

If it wasn’t for a typo, Dr. William Schpero, a health economist and an assistant professor in population health sciences at Weill Cornell Medicine, may have taken a very different career path.
