Students and faculty from four partner universities in the United States and Brazil participating in the 2026 Japan Cultural Exchange Program attended a lecture in Hiroshima by atomic bomb survivor (hibakusha) Satoshi Tanaka, Representative Director of Nihon Hidankyo, the recipient of the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize. Drawing on his own experiences, Mr. Tanaka emphasized that the effects of the atomic bombings continue even 80 years later and urged young people to take action toward a world free of nuclear weapons. The participants also learned about Nihon Hidankyo's international advocacy, including support for the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). Deeply inspired by the lecture, students reflected on the importance of peace and expressed their commitment to sharing its message worldwide.

Rutgers University oceanographers Joe Gradone and Corday Selden are preparing to step into the most consequential assignment of their careers so far.

On Aug. 7, they will board the research vessel Falkor (too) in Bridgetown, Barbados. Two days later, the ship will leave port, carrying Gradone and Selden into the Atlantic Ocean as co-chief scientists leading an international team of 19 scientists on a 25-day research expedition.

Seven students from across Iowa spent six weeks of their summer learning to design, build and test their own microelectronic devices. Iowa State's semiconductor workshop is part of a year-long effort to help students understand semiconductors and AI hardware.

As a recent Executive Order declares, “the United States stands at the cusp of a quantum revolution.” At the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) that future is already taking shape as researchers advance the Navy’s quantum research enterprise through groundbreaking science, technology development and strategic partnerships. The order identifies quantum information science and technology (QIST) as a critical driver of innovation, economic growth and national security, reinforcing the importance of work underway across NRL.

A developmental cognitive neuroscientist, Rachel Wu at UC Riverside studies how people learn and pay attention across their lifespan. Her research explores how lessons from child development can help older adults continue learning, improving cognitive health and independence as they age.

Alveolar bone defects and protrusive facial deformities affect a considerable portion of the population and may increase the risk of other complications. The proposed expert consensus aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for the treatment of these complications and offers strategies to improve adult orthodontic care.
