Researchers from the Smart Management of Infrastructure Laboratory (SMILab), located in the Center for Advanced Research Computing at The University of New Mexico, have developed a new strain sensor as a part of the Low-Cost Efficient Wireless Intelligent Sensors (LEWIS) project. The new sensor, called the LEWIS-S, is easy to use, wireless, and can be offered at about 5% of the cost of standard commercial strain sensing equipment. SMILab director and assistant professor Fernando Moreu noted, “Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has been receiving significant attention in the community as a m...

by Stephen Chapman A £3.8m supercomputer has arrived at Durham University to accelerate research and development projects. The high performance computing platform (HPC) known as Bede, has been made by the N8 Research Partnership and its technology is already being user to better understand Covid-19 and how to recover from the pandemic. “The launch of Bede marks a significant milestone for the research and academic communities across the North and indeed the wider UK and beyond. It will help our researchers to undertake work that incorporates experimental activities underpinned by large dat...

Daryl Domman, assistant professor at The University of New Mexico Center for Global Health, and Darrell Dinwiddie, assistant professor in the UNM Department of Pediatrics, have discovered a novel variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus among COVID-19-positive samples in New Mexico. The two have been working with the New Mexico Department of Health and other health officials to sequence the genomes of coronavirus samples from across the state, as well as those from other regions of the Rocky Mountains. A new variant named the “Pelican Lineage” has been observed in New Mexican samples dating back t...

Ideas, Inventions And Innovations Study: X-Rays Surrounding ‘Magnificent 7’ May Be Traces of Sought-After Particle Researchers say they may have found proof of theorized axions, and possibly dark matter, around group of neutron stars. An artistic rendering of the XMM-Newton (X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission) space telescope. A study of archival data from the XMM-Newton and the Chandra X-ray space telescopes found evidence of high levels of X-ray emission from the nearby Magnificent Seven neutron stars, which may arise from the hypothetical particles known as axions.  A new study, led by a t...

A new study, led by a theoretical physicist at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), suggests that
