University of Copenhagen Establishes New Research Center for Quantum Technology's Societal Impact

University of Copenhagen Establishes New Research Center for Quantum Technology's Societal Impact

The University of Copenhagen’s Department of Sociology, in collaboration with the Copenhagen Business School, is co-leading a new research center dedicated to understanding the societal impact of quantum technologies. This initiative, named 'Crafting Quantum: From Scientific Promise to Societal Pathways,' has received a DKK 50 million grant from the Carlsberg Foundation. Professor Christian Borch of the University of Copenhagen will co-lead the center, focusing on the transition of quantum technologies from theoretical potential to practical societal application. The funding will support a six-year program designed to explore how coordination, valuation, and public acceptance influence the future of quantum technology in Denmark. Researchers will integrate historical analysis with studies in organization, management, and sociology, working closely with the existing Danish quantum ecosystem. Professors Christina Lubinski and Silviya Svejenova from Copenhagen Business School will also play key roles in leadi...

Penn State Research Startup Intel-E-Waste Selected for NSF Tech Metal Transformation Challenge to Boost Critical Mineral Recovery

Penn State Research Startup Intel-E-Waste Selected for NSF Tech Metal Transformation Challenge to Boost Critical Mineral Recovery

Intel-E-Waste, a startup founded on foundational research from Penn State, has been selected by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) through STRIDE Ventures as one of eight winners of the inaugural Tech Metal Transformation Challenge. This national program aims to strengthen domestic supply chains for critical and strategic metals. Intel-E-Waste's technology focuses on recovering critical and strategic materials from old electronics and solar panels, transforming them into a new domestic source. The company is currently in the first 10-month stage of the program, focusing on prototype development, technical validation, and establishing pathways for industrial deployment of its technology for complex electronic waste streams. The scientific basis for several elements of Intel-E-Waste's recovery approach originated from federally funded basic research at Penn State, supported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s REMADE Institute.

UAF Researchers Secure $6 Million NSF Grant to Extract Critical Minerals from Coal Waste

UAF Researchers Secure $6 Million NSF Grant to Extract Critical Minerals from Coal Waste

Researchers at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) are leading a $6 million project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to extract critical minerals from coal waste. This initiative involves using microorganisms and artificial intelligence to recover rare earth elements from coal ash, a byproduct of decades of coal mining and use in Alaska. The project aims to transform this waste into a valuable resource, reducing reliance on foreign sources for these essential minerals. Srijan Aggarwal, a UAF professor of environmental engineering and principal investigator, highlighted that the approach leverages natural metabolic processes of microorganisms to bind to and extract valuable minerals, avoiding harsh chemicals. Artificial intelligence will be used to predict optimal waste materials and harvesting conditions. The project is a collaborative effort involving UAF, the University of Alaska Anchorage, Montana Technological University, and the University of Wyoming, funded through NSF’s Establish...

U.S. Nuclear Industry Adopts Advanced Technologies for Enhanced Asset Management and Safety

U.S. Nuclear Industry Adopts Advanced Technologies for Enhanced Asset Management and Safety

The U.S. nuclear industry is undergoing a significant transformation by integrating advanced nondestructive evaluation (NDE) and repair technologies. This shift aims to improve outage performance, support long-term operation of nuclear assets, and maintain high safety and quality standards. Key advancements include the use of ultrasonic testing (UT) as an alternative to radiographic testing (RT) for weld inspection, AI-assisted analysis tools to streamline data review, and mixed-reality applications for consistent field execution. Laser ablation is also being explored for surface preparation and decontamination, while nonmetallic repair technologies are being evaluated for difficult-to-access components. A notable deployment at the Department of Energy’s Hanford Site involved a fully autonomous gas tungsten arc welding system for sealing high-activity capsules, demonstrating the practical application of these innovations in challenging environments. These technological adoptions are driven by the need to m...

Fermilab Physicist Awarded DOE Grant to Test Entanglement for Dark Matter Detection

Fermilab Physicist Awarded DOE Grant to Test Entanglement for Dark Matter Detection

Rakshya Khatiwada, a physicist at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and Illinois Institute of Technology, has received a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Early Career Award. This grant will fund her project to construct and operate a four-qubit entangled quantum sensing system at Fermilab. The primary goal is to expose this system to a simulated dark matter signal and empirically determine if quantum entanglement offers a measurable advantage in detecting dark matter compared to traditional, independent quantum sensors. Dark matter, which constitutes approximately 85% of the universe's matter, has eluded direct detection for decades, despite its gravitational effects being widely observed. Previous dark matter searches, particularly for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), have yielded null results, leading scientists to explore alternative candidates like ultralight bosonic particles such as axions and dark photons. These particles are hypothesized to produce extremely faint electromagnetic si...
