Researchers at the University of Arizona are developing a visualization system to detect suspicious network activity in real-time, using a geographic map metaphor to facilitate human analysis. The system aims to provide quick high-level information to non-experts and comprehensive data to experts, while also offering customization opti...
A UA systems engineering doctoral student has developed a simulated operations system to increase mining efficiency, which earned him the IIE research award. The system can coordinate scheduling decisions in near-real time and has been demonstrated with real-world coal mines.
The new spectral imager will enable scientists to expand research in medical imaging, detecting explosives, and studying metamaterials. It will also be used to analyze materials, detect pathogens, and inspect pharmaceutical products.
Researchers at the University of Arizona have developed a new active metamaterial that demonstrates both power gain and negative refraction properties. This breakthrough enables the potential for high-performance microwave circuits and antennas with improved wireless communication and sensing capabilities.
The University of Arizona space systems engineer Roberto Furfaro and his colleagues have designed an autonomous guidance system that will fly the privately-funded Moon Express lander to the lunar surface. The $30 million X Prize is won by landing a spacecraft on the moon, deploying a robot, and sending back an image and data to Earth.
The University of Arizona College of Engineering has been awarded grants from the US Department of Defense to develop high-tech measuring equipment for real-world applications in chemical and civil engineering. Armin Sorooshian's project aims to study cloud droplets and their effect on precipitation, while Jennifer Duan's project focus...
The University of Arizona has been named a CUDA Teaching Center by NVIDIA, focusing on leveraging GPU power for scientific discovery and training the next wave of parallel programmers. Ali Akoglu, assistant professor, aims to integrate GPU computing into mainstream computer programming curriculum.
Researchers from the University of Arizona and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed graphene ceramic composites that exhibit new fracture resistance mechanisms, increasing toughness by over 200%. This breakthrough discovery could enable widespread use of ceramics in high-temperature applications.
Researchers at the University of Arizona have developed a new hand-held instrument to detect glaucoma earlier and with greater accuracy. The device uses micro-force sensors and math-based procedures to gently rub the eyelid, measuring intraocular pressure without the need for painful eye drops or sterilized sensors.
Dr. Paul Anastas, known as the 'Father of Green Chemistry,' will discuss the importance of sustainability principles in business operations. The conference focuses on sustainable technologies and practices, including water reuse, natural resource management, and product life cycle assessment.
