AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoMaterials Science: A nature-inspired “scale-rich” design using supports of varied sizes made metamaterials tougher in tests, challenging the usual preference for uniform structures. Brain Mapping: Researchers mapped about 8 million cells in the human basal ganglia, identifying 60 cell types and their spatial organization—an atlas that could aid research into Parkinson’s and other disorders. Structural Engineering: Tests found that thin jackets of ultra-high-performance concrete can strengthen damaged bridge columns under repeated loads while preserving flexibility. Photonic Computing: LightSolver plans the first public demonstration of an all-optical computer at SC26, using laser beams to solve equations and optimization problems. Space: NASA opened a $10 billion award pool for lunar deliveries, supporting transport plans for a future Moon base. Biotech Logistics: BioWraptor raised $1.5 million to develop room-temperature stabilization for fragile medicines and other biological materials, potentially reducing reliance on refrigeration.
