University of Texas at Dallas researchers and their international colleagues have found a way to create detachable micro LEDs that can be folded, twisted — and even cut. The wearable LEDs can attach to almost any surface.
Research from UT Dallas, which was published in the journal Science Advances in June, is expected to transform the wearable technology industry.
Vancouver Film School, a distinguished entertainment arts school that offers yearlong programs for 1,500 students across eight campuses, faced quite the debacle when the school pivoted to remote learning in the spring.
VFS students must create hundreds of high-tech projects every year, ranging from 3D animation and game design to virtual and augmented reality design and development. How were students going to access the graphics-intensive technologies they needed from home computers?
The National Science Foundation has awarded the University of Arizona a five-year, $26 million grant to develop quantum networking technologies. The technologies are expected to transform medicine, finance, data security, artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and smart devices.
Responding to a growing interest in collegiate esports, top North American esports organizations are teaming up to advance esports in higher education.
In late June, Williams College, Bowdoin College, and Morehouse College were among the first colleges to reverse their decisions to restart college sports in the fall.

While other campuses may have a room with a dozen computers set aside for esports, Ottawa University, located in Ottawa, Kan., provides its esports team with a fully outfitted arena in its Larry D. Peters Auditorium. The university set up the stadium with a state-of-the-art video production system and broadcasting capabilities, in addition to stocking it with computer power through a build-out with Horizon AVL and CDW.
The arena supports the university's goal of training students for careers in esports after graduation.
Women remain underrepresented in the science, technology, engineering, arts and math areas of the workforce. Nationally, despite increases in women pursuing degrees in STEAM areas, statistics from the National Girls Collaborative Project continue to show low carryover for women into the workforce in these areas.
Textbook publishing company Pearson announced it will be taking all future updates to its existing textbooks online before releasing them in print, the company announced.
Hewlett Packard Enterprises has donated $10.5 million in research equipment for a state-of-the-art computer engineering school at Texas A&M University, according to a recent announcement from the Texas A&M Engineering Experimen
