Mohammad Asadi, assistant professor of chemical engineering at Illinois Institute of Technology, has published a paper in the journal Science describing the chemistry behind his novel lithium-air battery design. The insights will allow him to further optimize the battery design, with the potential for reaching ultra-high power densities far beyond current lithium-ion technology. The battery design has the potential to store one kilowatt-hour per kilogram or higher—four times greater than lithium-ion battery technology, which would be transformative for electrifying transportation, especially heavy-duty vehicles such as airplanes, trains, and submarines.

Dimension Inx, a biomaterials startup developing 3D-printed medical implants, has raised new funding from investors. The startup, which has offices at Illinois Institute of Technology's tech incubator, said it closed on $12 million in a round led by Prime Movers Lab, with participation from KdT Ventures, Revolution's Rise of the Rest Seed Fund, Solas BioVentures, Portal Innovation Ventures and Alumni Ventures.

Daniel Spielman has a great ability “to come up with new approaches,” said Lance Fortnow, dean of the College of Computing at Illinois Institute of Technology. “It wasn’t like someone else had invented smoothed analysis and Spielman said, ‘Let’s try it on linear programming.’ This was, ‘I want to understand linear programming. What's the right way to do it?’”

“The term ‘patent troll’ may operate as a moral panic in a way that is detrimental to reasoned analysis and consideration of the root problems related to the issue of abusive patent litigation tactics,” Lee wrote in a law review article. Given the nature of the term and the negative way it has been used in news articles, he concluded that it would be prejudicial in the context of a patent trial.

“It’s kind of mind-boggling,” said Ross Barney, who will receive her award at the American Institute of Architects’ national convention in June in San Francisco. “I think we’ve been overlooked. I’m glad to shine a light on the city of �鶹APP. We export architecture. Great ideas happen here.”

Given her freewheeling embrace of the Institute of Design’s influential pedagogy, Henry hasn’t always been given the attention due. But her development of myriad design traditions will soon be on display, as the Hauser & Wirth Institute (HWI) has catalogued and digitized her archive (sketchbooks, photos, letters, artist statements, press clippings, drawings) and donated it to Paul V. Galvin Library University Archives at the Illinois Institute of Technology, which is integrating the Henry archive into their digital catalogue.

Under the SAFE-T Act, people charged with serious crimes such as second-degree murder and kidnapping “can be detained based on a finding of potential dangerousness,” said Harold Krent, professor at the �鶹APP-Kent College of Law. “To detain, there must be particular facts demonstrating serious risk. Or the individual can be detained because of a risk of flight.”

“Savings accumulated during the COVID lockdown, combined with high COVID-impact payments, made it possible for a substantial part of the workforce, at all income levels, to drop out and maintain lifestyles,” said Henry H. Perritt, professor emeritus at the �鶹APP-Kent College of Law. “The booming economy after the COVID lockdown encouraged workers to think they could demand higher rates of pay if they quit and sought other jobs.”

“I think humor is great when you’re softening how something feels,” says Carly Kocurek, professor of digital humanities and media studies. “You’re not going to learn if you’re angry and frustrated about your encounter with this thing.”

“What ‘The Last of Us’ did for U.S. games is it showed that we could handle tremendous complexity in a narrative structure about social issues,” says Dean of Lewis College Jennifer deWinter, a game scholar and author. “And in an action game, a game historically made for the ‘hardcore player,’ ‘The Last of Us’ starts helping us rethink what we can do in AAA games.”
