Agricultural innovation requires more than ideas — it demands acres of land, barns full of livestock, fleets of equipment, and teams of specialists who keep it all running. Few research enterprises are as complex or costly as agriculture. For nearly 140 years, the Hatch Act of 1887 has helped shoulder that burden, providing stable federal funding that fuels discovery across the land-grant system.

Representatives from the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center, UC Health, Champlin | EOP and Skanska are sharing lessons learned and best practices for designing and constructing comprehensive health care facilities following the opening of the Cancer Center’s Blood Cancer Healing Center.

Researchers at AIMR demonstrated that the quantum metric, a hidden property of electronic states, can be measured and controlled under ambient conditions. Using a Mn₃Sn/Pt heterostructure with engineered interfacial spin textures, they revealed a robust second-order Hall effect, opening new pathways for topological electronics and quantum-geometry–based devices.

Research by Assistant Professor Jacob S. Suissa at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, is revealing complexity in how ferns have evolved. 

A new dataset of pre- and post-hurricane first-floor elevation for homes and buildings in a Southwest Florida city was awarded a 2025 DesignSafe Dataset Award, which recognized the dataset's diverse contributions to natural hazards research.

UCF is welcoming two internationally known aerospace medicine experts to help expand its research, clinical and education efforts to keeping the galaxy’s travelers healthy and bringing those medical technologies back to patients on Earth. 

Researchers presented new results on maternal mental health and addiction treatment.

For many researchers, inspiration doesn’t just come from curiosity—it’s born out of personal struggle and lived experience. Professor Shoko Miyauchi of Kyushu University’s Faculty of Information Science and Electrical Engineering is one such researcher. Motivated by the frustrations and anxieties she encountered during her own parenting experience, she has developed systems to support families with childcare needs. We sat down with Miyauchi to hear about her current research and future goals.
