Thousands of school students, including eight schools from Northern Ireland, are about to descend upon the RDS in Dublin this week to participate in the 2025 BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition (BTYSTE). The BTYSTE, which is one of the leading school science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) exhibitions in the world, annually showcases incredible STEM focused ideas in project entries from secondary school students aged 12-19 years. The 61st exhibition is a particularly significant milestone for BT Group, as the organisation celebrates 25 years as custodian and organiser of the Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition (YSTE). https://lnkd.in/eq59ZHDk

👏 Thanks to Jens Trommer for sharing with the community the first great results from our project! 🏃♂️ Being able to speed-up the development cycles of emerging devices is of fundamental importance in their industrial adoption. We showed how machine learning can help generating empirical compact models directly from electrical measurements. 📣 Stay tuned with us for the next and exciting results of our project!

Looking forward to discussing future R&D needs for the combustion community in a net zero society. This plenary session will be held at the 40th International Symposium on Combustion in Milan, Italy this summer. I’ll highlight the evolution of fuels from their current role as primary energy sources, to their future primary role as energy carriers. I will also survey the intersection of combustion science and technology with other societal considerations, including regulatory, environmental justice, geopolitical, and economic drivers. Finally, I will highlight implications for researchers, engineering executives, and regulatory/certification oversight bodies. Lots of important combustion R&D needs remain due to needs to increase thermal efficiency, high operational flexibility, low particulate and NOx emissions, and fuel flexibility.

The 6th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Smart Environment (ICAISE'24) is a leading international conference for researchers, academic faculty, students, and industry practitioners to share their new ideas, original research results and practical development experiences from all computer systems, applications and technologies related areas

Georgia State University continues to lead in groundbreaking research, earning $185.72M in awards in 2024 and advancing innovations across fields like health, clean energy and STEM education. From exploring how movement and language intersect for infants with Down syndrome to developing cosmic ray detectors, GSU researchers are making a real-world impact. Stay tuned for more research stories and follow #12DaysofImpact this December! https://t.gsu.edu/4fhkP3v

I just finished this webinar with SAICE on using AI in industry. We looked at AI playing a key role with humans versus taking away jobs from humans, but then the new technology of the robot taxing was being tested, and our speaker Brian Downie asked what happens when the AI takes over its code. Then Kim Timm introduced 3D concrete fresh off the international conference. I am currently doing Design 2 and wonder how the 3D Printed concrete would hold up to failers in slab-to-column connections in multi-story buildings where these conditions get tricky 🤔 Lastly, Ricardo Lopes stole the show with Lidar technology and showed its power to map its surroundings accurately. It is super interesting, and I would like to explore the technology side of civil engineering more. 👨🎓 Super Informative!

Last week, the United Nations proclaimed 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology - a year-long global initiative to recognize the importance of quantum S&T and strengthen national capacities for science education and research. This mirrors calls from myself and others for the U.S. to prioritize quantum. "While the U.S. stands at the precipice of groundbreaking technological advancements, it is crucial for Congress to collectively champion the cause of QIST, ultimately shaping a future defined by innovation, security and global competitiveness.

Indigenous and Native American representation in STEM and aging research is essential for advancing diversity and inclusion in science. The National Institutes of Health/National Institute on Aging (NIA)-sponsored programs led by Dr. Gerald Schatten, Magee-Womens investigator, address this need by creating pathways for Native students from nations such as Comanche, Cherokee, Navajo, and Lumbee to pursue careers in research. The programs integrate culturally relevant approaches that provide students with hands-on experience in Alzheimer’s and aging research. Through daily lectures, advanced workshops, and mentorship, participants gain technical skills and explore biological, clinical, and behavioral dimensions of aging research. By fostering long-term mentorship, career development strategies, and opportunities for collaboration, these programs empower students to succeed in STEM while amplifying Indigenous perspectives in aging research.
