Closer to radiation-free screening for breast cancer

An international research team develops ultrasound screening for breast cancer. The method is especially relevant for dense tissue where traditional mammography has shortcomings. The collaboration involves DFN, the NREN of Germany.
 

Latin America gears up for high-energy physics

In just five years, nine universities in Latin America and Europe have jointly established infrastructure enabling local physicists to contribute to some of the world’s most advanced scientific experiments.
 

ICYMI: USA: streaming science in real-time

American ESnet - the Department of Energy’s Energy Sciences Network – and partners have managed to transmit raw physics data at a blazing 100 Gps (Gigabit per second) 3,000 miles across the country from Virginia to California.
 

Academic roaming keeps Kenyan hospital online

KENET, the NREN of Kenya, has implemented the eduroam roaming service at AIC Kijabe Hospital, providing doctors, nurses, and medical students with instant internet connection.
 

ICYMI: First spaceborne measurement of vertical cloud motion

A Japanese radar carried by the Hakuryu (White Dragon) satellite has made the world’s first measurement of vertical cloud motion from space. The radar developed by The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) gives meteorologists a new tool.

ICYMI: Momentum for quantum tech in Denmark

With traditions rooted in physicist Niels Bohr’s pioneering works on quantum mechanics, Danish scientists are active in a range of quantum technology developments. In response has DeiC, Denmark’s national research and education network, set up a new unit for quantum tech.
