        <description><![CDATA[ Distractions are everywhere. How can we stay focused as we get older? To answer the question, Associate Professor of Human Development Ben Katz is fusing social science with neuroscience as part of a $750,000, NIH-funded research project. Katz leads the project alongside co-PIs Tae-Ho Lee, an associate professor of psychology at Virginia Tech, and University of Tennessee researcher Il Hawn Kim. Graduate research assistants Elayna Seago and Marrium Mansoor have played an integral role in achieving Katz&#39;s portion of the project. The Virginia Tech Cognitive Aging and Translational Science Laboratory (CAATS) studies issues like how distraction, focus, and social factors affect the brain across the lifespan. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ Yang “Cindy” Yi has received a grant from Meta Research Lab to work on hardware for their augmented reality (AR) glasses. Yi and her students aim to push the boundaries of high-speed, low-power optoelectronic systems, with a focus on advancing Avalanche Photodiodes (APDs), Trans-impedance Amplifiers (TIAs), Mixers, and Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs). The goal is to make these components function better, while using very little power, in converting eye movement data into electrical signals in future AR glasses. ]]></description>

        <link>https://news.vt.edu/videos/k/2025/02/1_b6h4sef4.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[ On this episode of Engineering Explains… What is histotripsy? Where is histotripsy available? What are the side effects? Is it only for the liver? Can it be used in other applications? Eli Vlaisavljevich provides his expertise on the fascinating field of non-invasive cancer therapy! While bubbles, clouds, and funny looking speakers may sound imaginary, histotripsy is the real deal. By using targeted ultrasound frequencies, it provides a friendlier alternative to the traditional radiation or surgical counterparts, creating a safe, highly precise tool for treating more than just cancer. Want to know more about what histotripsy is? See Eli&#39;s lab below: https://ultrasound-lab.beam.vt.edu/ ]]></description>
