What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Boise State University received a $2.7 million award through NextFlex, the Department of Defense’s flexible hybrid electronics manufacturing institute. This funding establishes the Reconfigurable Analog van der Waals Engines for Non-von-Neumann Sensing (RAVEN) center. The 15-month project is a partnership with Air Force Research Laboratory.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The project aims to develop 2D quantum materials for sensors used on uncrewed aircraft. These sensors are designed to perform computation at the point of collection, which reduces power consumption and reliance on data links. This research targets the bottleneck of high data generation from advanced sensors.
