Dallas-Based Jacobs to Design Systems for World’s Largest Fusion Experiment Backed by 35 Countries
by David Seeley | Apr 25, 2023
Fusion—the nuclear reaction that powers the sun and stars—may one offer a solution to sustainable, carbon-free energy for everyone on earth. To drive that goal, 35 countries have supported the ITER nuclear fusion research center in Provence, France. The world's largest and most powerful fusion device is currently being built there—and Dallas-based engineering giant Jacobs has signed on to help advance it.

AI Can Detect Early Signs of Alzheimer’s in How People Speak, New Study Shows
by David Seeley | Apr 17, 2023
Subtle changes in the way people speak could help doctors diagnose cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease—even before symptoms begin to show. That's according to a new study led UT Southwestern researcher Ihab Hajjar, M.D., working with a research team at Emory University in Atlanta. After being given standard cognitive assessments, 206 participants were asked to talk about an art work. Here's what happened next.

Sensor tech that allows concrete to “talk” is now being tested on a stretch of I-35 in Hillsboro—and if the test is successful, it could change testing methods the construction industry has used for over 100 years. A team led by Purdue researcher Luna Lu has developed the tech since 2017. When it's embedded into a concrete pour, the sensor can send data about the concrete’s strength and potential repair needs more accurately than methods that are now being used, "accelerating the construction schedule to about 30 to 35%," Lu says.
