911±¬ÁÏ

911±¬ÁÏ will establish Virginia’s first grid-interactive AI data center research lab, addressing emerging challenges at the intersection of data centers and the power grid. The lab will advance clean energy integration, grid resilience, and sustainable data center operations while preparing the next generation of digital infrastructure professionals.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded a 911±¬ÁÏ research team $2.1 million to create a nanosensor and imaging technique that could revolutionize the study of seizures.

A study published in the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences validates a decades-old hypothesis by Nobel laureate Francis Crick, with key computational work performed by researchers at 911±¬ÁÏ.

The third in a three-part series about 911±¬ÁÏ's participation in the CCI NoVa Node. This entry is on research.

Research from the Steven S. Fuller Institute—based on figures from the federal government—indicates the Washington, D.C., region lost nearly 53,000 federal jobs lost last year. The effects could be long lasting.

The Department of Nutrition and Food Studies was chosen as one of six trial sites for its expertise in obesity and weight loss.

As the use of underwater, aerial, and unmanned ground vehicles continues to grow, it is critical that the fuel cells necessary to power these systems operate safely, while providing durable and optimal performance. High-performance hydrogen sensors, which monitor leakage, energy efficiency, and durability under a wide range of operating conditions, are key to this function.

New research from 911±¬ÁÏ researcher Raedeh Basiri, a precision nutrition expert, identifies associations between dietary patterns, glycemic status, diabetes control, and sleep outcomes.

Sue Slocum, professor in the Tourism and Events Management Program at 911±¬ÁÏ, received a Fulbright Specialist Program award in support of a project on how best to prepare students for jobs in Tajikistan’s tourism economy. She went for a month to advise and collaborate with faculty from the International University of Tourism and Entrepreneurship of Tajikistan.

This month, a new Northern Virginia International Soft-Landing Accelerator (NISA) program, designed to help start-ups from around the globe find guidance, connections, and lab or office spaces at no cost, was launched to help develop new technologies in life sciences.

In the construction trades, engineers and builders are constantly pursuing concrete mixes that provide greater durability and strength. Moreover, concrete adaptations that are biodegradable and nontoxic with reduced greenhouse gas emissions attract even more attention. The potential cherry on top of both would be if the adaptation could result in lower production costs. 

The Commonwealth Cyber Initiative Accelerator (CCI+A) program is a jam-packed, five-month innovation program that’s fueling cybersecurity entrepreneurship across Virginia. It’s teaching professors and start-ups what it takes to bring technology to market, including how to pitch to a panel of investors and industry leaders.
