  • Counseling & Testing Center

    Posted11/4/2020 5:48:00 AM

    As of March 23 the Counseling and Testing Center is no longer offering in person visits. All services will be via remote (i.e., Zoom, phone) appointments. If you already have a scheduled appointment your clinician will contact you with further information via the email address we have on file. If you wish to schedule a new, remote appointment, have questions or need additional assistance, please call 208-885-6716 between 8 am - 5 pm Monday through Friday.
    The impact of COVID-19 has been deeply felt and experienced across the global, national, local and individual levels. In particular, we share our concerns about different expressions of microaggressions, racism, and xenophobic remarks and threats directed at people who are or appear to be of Asian descent. All of us at CTC would like to reach out and pledge our unwavering commitment to co-creating a community of support, care, and safety for all University of Idaho students.

  • Carbon nanotube implants could help diagnose medical conditions

    Posted10/20/2020 7:45:22 AM

    Scientists have long been on the lookout for more efficient ways to identify particular molecules in the body, because their levels can be indicative of dozens of different health conditions. Now a team of researchers has developed implantable carbon nanotubes that light up in the presences of specific molecules, as the scientists announced last week at the meeting of the American Chemical Society and reported in Nature News. That could lead to faster—or even automated—diagnoses of diseases that currently take several days.

    Carbon nanotubes are minuscule cylinders made of graphene and coated with another type of polymer—they are flexible and easy to modify for different purposes, which is why researchers have found uses for them in bringing molecules in and out of cells or checking to see if meat has gone bad.

  • Blades of Grass Inspire Advance in Organic Solar Cells

    Posted10/12/2020 2:51:15 AM

    Using a bio-mimicking analog of one of nature’s most efficient light-harvesting structures, blades of grass, an international research team led by Alejandro Briseno of the University of Massachusetts Amherst has taken a major step in developing long-sought polymer architecture to boost power-conversion efficiency of light to electricity for use in electronic devices.
    Briseno, with colleagues and graduate students at UMass Amherst and others at Stanford University and Dresden University of Technology, Germany, report in the current issue of Nano Letters that by using single-crystalline organic nanopillars, or “nanograss,” they found a way to get around dead ends, or discontinuous pathways, that pose a serious drawback when using blended systems known as bulk heterojunction donor-acceptor, or positive-negative (p-n), junctions for harvesting energy in organic solar cells.

    Students at Tesla STEM High School in Redmond, WA and Thomas A. Edison High School in Fairfax, VA work to address the National Academy of Engineering's 14 Grand Challenges and engineer a better world.

    Working with schools to incorporate STEM education in order to address these grand challenges is one of the goals of the 2017 Global Grand Challenges Summit.

    The 2017 Global Grand Challenges Summit (GGCS), jointly organized by the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, the U.K. Royal Academy of Engineering, and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, will be held July 18-20, 2017, on the campus of George Washington University in Washington, D.C. The GGCS series aims to spark global collaborations that lead to innovative ways of addressing critically important engineering challenges and opportunities and inspiring the next generation of change makers.

  • AI algorithm detects and identifies brain lesions

    Posted10/2/2020 4:50:25 AM

    Researchers from Cambridge University and Imperial College London developed an AI algorithm that detects and identifies different types of brain injuries.

    The researchers said they have clinically validated and tested the AI on large sets of CT scans, and found that it could detect, segment, quantify and differentiate different types of brain lesions.
    The results could be useful in large-scale research studies, for developing more personalised treatments for head injuries and, with further validation, could be useful in certain clinical scenarios, such as resource-limited areas with few radiologists.

  • Physicists develop ‘most sensitive strain sensor ever made’

    Posted10/2/2020 4:34:10 AM

    Physicists have created what they claim is the most sensitive strain sensor ever made, an advance said to bring new levels of sensitivity to wearable tech.
    The sensor, developed by the Materials Physics Group at Sussex University, can reportedly stretch up to 80 times higher strain than strain gauges currently available and show resistance changes 100 times greater than the most sensitive materials in research development.
    The research team believe the sensors could bring new levels of sensitivity to wearable tech measuring patients’ vital signs and to systems monitoring buildings and bridges’ structural integrity.

    In a statement, Marcus O’Mara, from the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at Sussex University, said: “The next wave of strain sensing technology uses elastic materials like rubber imbued with conductive materials such as graphene or silver nanoparticles, and has been in development for over a decade now.
