UAB team is developing AI digital twins for building retrofit planning. The University of Alabama and UAB are undertaking a three-year NSF-supported digital-twin project for building audits and retrofit simulations.
University of Nebraska researchers received a three-year, $496,722 NSF award to study whether organic nitrogen in deep soils can affect groundwater nitrate years later.
UT San Antonio model aims to improve dementia imaging predictions across groups. A model reported by UT Health San Antonio researchers weights class probabilities to improve generalization when neuroimaging data are uneven across demographic groups.
The University of Nebraska’s Husker Produce Farm harvested about 15,000 pounds across 15 crops in its first commercial growing season. Produce went to campus dining and local food organizations.
Cornell wins $7.5 million for research into visual computing with light. The Cornell-led Deep Nanophotonic Inference Systems project will study foundations for optical-electronic systems that could perform some AI image-analysis computations using light.
Cornell team develops an ultrasound-directed microbubble chip. The Cornell researchers’ chip forms hydrogen microbubbles at electrodes within a three-millimeter area; ultrasound-driven oscillations then direct fluid flow.
Italy’s ENEA outlined its role in SUPER on October 14. The three-year project aims to help Alpine local authorities evaluate fragmented data on buildings, energy consumption and planned investment through shared digital methods.
Concentrates from three mineral types averaged 67.7% iron in laboratory tests; pilot-plant work is under way.
The Letter of Support is not a signed financing commitment; any EXIM financing remains subject to due diligence and internal review.
Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign reported a laboratory demonstration coupling traveling spin waves in a magnetic material to a superconducting resonator. Argonne’s October 13 announcement describes a hybrid approach to one-way microwave signal control.
USDA awarded $298,476 to expand Binghamton University’s ongoing lawn research site. The project studies water stress in turf plots with different plant mixtures, not food crops.
Argonne National Laboratory announced five startup founders for the 2026 cohort of Chain Reaction Innovations. The two-year program will embed the entrepreneurs full time at the laboratory with access to researchers, facilities and commercialization support.
