Meetings

Scientists from around the world specializing in motor control and neuroscience will travel to the University of Rhode Island this summer as the university hosts the international XV Progress in Motor Control Conference.

The university’s Department of Physical Therapy, its George & Anne Ryan Institute for Neuroscience, and the Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Program at URI, will host the biennial meeting of the International Society of Motor Control (ISMC) June 30 to July 2. This year’s conference will be held in the Center for Biotechnology and Life Sciences on the Kingston Campus, after previous meetings took place in Rome, Auckland, Amsterdam, Miami, and Budapest.

Advancing scalable solid-state quantum computing from materials to quantum processors and simulators—this is the ambitious project goal of the joint European project SPINUS. During their annual meeting, which took place in February in Trento, Italy, the project partners gathered to assess their latest scientific achievements and to align on strategic objectives for the upcoming project phases. During two days of intensive discussions, including a quantum technologies networking session with external participants, the consortium showcased decisive milestones and lived up to SPINUS’ role in advancing European quantum research.

Research by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope collaboration has put the standard model of cosmology through a rigorous new set of tests and show it to be remarkably robust. The new images of the early universe, which show both the intensity and polarization of the earliest light with unprecedented clarity, reveal the formation of ancient, consolidating clouds of hydrogen and helium that later developed into the first galaxies and stars.
