Irrigation canal maintenance in western Nebraska is taking a giant step forward thanks to an innovative, non-invasive method by Husker geoscientist Mohamed Khalil to check canal integrity. His sophisticated time-lapse analysis pinpoints canal seepage and structural settlement far more accurately and efficiently than traditional approaches — using a technology that can have wide-ranging uses statewide for agriculture, industry and natural resources management. 

In just a few short years, artificial intelligence has rapidly evolved from a futuristic computing concept to a major part of everyday life. As AI tools become increasingly popular and broadly used for a wide variety of purposes, computer scientists continue to expand their research endeavors to explore new possibilities and solutions. 

The latest project in the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s School of Computing proposes that the biological systems that initially inspired the development of AI could be expanded toward bio-hybrid systems that use intelligence directly from living cells.

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln research community is invited to attend Nebraska Research Days, scheduled for Nov. 17-21 with both virtual and in-person offerings.

Representatives of education, nonprofit organizations, government and business got a sampling of University of Nebraska-Lincoln research Oct. 23, an opportunity to acknowledge existing partnerships and collaborations and potentially set groundwork toward future ones.

The University of Nebraska–Lincoln added 21 weather stations to the Nebraska Mesonet network this year through $1.48 million in funding from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency and Lower Loup and Upper Elkhorn Natural Resources Districts.
