Serious fireworks: BYU students celebrating 4th of July with explosive win at collegiate rocket competition
For the BYU Rocketry Team, celebrating the Fourth of July this year with fireworks just isn’t going to cut it. After all, fireworks that might shoot a few hundred feet in the air pale in comparison to the 10,000 feet their BYU rocket reached while winning the 2023 Spaceport America Cup.

New BYU-developed AI technology could benefit future Super Bowl opponents
New artificial intelligence technology being developed by engineers at Brigham Young University could significantly cut down on the time and cost that goes into film study for Super Bowl-bound teams (and all NFL and college football teams), while also enhancing game strategy by harnessing the power of big data.

Antarctic icebergs still exist today where 1700-era sailors spotted, tracked them
A new study comparing observations of large Antarctic icebergs from the 1700s with modern satellite datasets shows the massive icebergs are found in the same areas where they were pinpointed three centuries ago. The study shows that despite their rudimentary tools, the old explorers truly knew their craft, and it confirms that the icebergs have behaved consistently for more than 300 years.

BYU researchers create world's most power-efficient high-speed ADC microchip
A BYU professor and his team have built the world’s most power-efficient high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) microchip. An ADC is a tiny piece of technology present in almost every electronic piece of equipment that converts analog signals (like a radio wave) to a digital signal.

BYU hologram experts can now create real-life images that move in the air
They may be tiny weapons, but BYU’s holography research group has figured out how to create lightsabers — green for Yoda and red for Darth Vader, naturally — with actual luminous beams rising from them.

New BYU algorithm making ID verification more secure by tracking facial movements
Like every other human biometric identification system before it, there are still significant security flaws in some of the most advanced identity verification technology. BYU computer and electrical engineering professor D.J. Lee has decided there is a better and more secure way to use your face for restricted access.
