A new study has detected inaudible sounds of volcanic mudflows, showing that with infrasound sensing technology, these dangerous lahars can be identified more than 20 minutes before disaster strikes. New engineering designs could come from high resolution imagery of sandgrouse feathers. Researchers were able to see how the African bird is able to store large amounts of water and could lead towards improved water bottles and water collection methods. The NSF announced the creation of 44 new Regional Innovation Engine program, aimed at helping universities, nonprofits, and businesses work together to create economic, societal and technological opportunities for their local areas.
