Researchers tested new nanoink and printing technologies on the "roller coaster" of NASA microgravity flights. They demonstrated that electronic circuits can be printed in zero gravity. That could lead to astronauts printing electric circuits for spacecraft and equipment repairs. The technologies could also lead to manufacturing high-value electronics in the special environment of space.

The integration of large language models and neuro-symbolic cognitive architecture within self-improving adaptive instructional systems is proposed for educational support. The developed never ending open learning adaptive framework (NEOLAF) and its hosting platform, the open learning adaptive framework (OLAF), exemplify advanced AI implementation. Proof of concept testing has been conducted to enhance mathematical problem-solving abilities and evaluate interactive agent deployment in learning environments.

Entangled quantum bits per second (ebps) indicates a quantum network’s throughput. In this study, researchers collected ebps measurements over a suite of fiber connections on a quantum network testbed. They then compared these measurements with capacity estimates for a conventional fiber-optic network at a range of distances. The study finds that ebps throughput decays sharply with distance in ways that differ from conventional networks.

Fungal contamination of cereal grains poses a substantial threat to food security and public health while causing hundreds of millions of dollars in economic losses annually. In a new study, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign evaluated far-ultraviolet C (far-UVC) light as a safe way to alleviate fungal contamination of corn and wheat and found this technology to be effective.

A new study has discovered that siderophores, molecules produced by certain bacteria, are instrumental in the microbiome's defense against Ralstonia solanacearum, a pathogen causing severe crop losses. 

Groundbreaking material technology from the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology effectively prevents lithium dendrite growth, tackling the main cause of reduced lifespan in lithium-metal batteries. This innovative material, easily produced through a streamlined process, is set to become a game-changer for next-generation lithium rechargeable batteries.

A research team has leveraged cutting-edge noninvasive phenotyping technologies to monitor plant stress across multiple vegetative organs.

A research team reveals how a low-cost imaging phenotyping system successfully uncovers the mechanisms of quantitative disease resistance (QDR) in wild tomato species.

We conducted research to integrate international drug-drug interaction (DDI) information by mapping Japanese and international drug terminology. In this study, we developed a method of mapping the YJ code to RxNorm and compared the Japanese and international DDI information. The results indicated that the DDI information needs to be adjusted to be internationally consistent. It is expected that this study will facilitate the sharing and analysis of healthcare-related global data including DDI information.
