Tulio Sulbaran, MD Sarder, and Chad Miller from the Center for Logistics, Trade, and Transportation (CLTT) at The University of Southern Mississippi were invited to Panama to continue strengthening relationships with the Universidad Marítima Internacional de Panamá (UMIP) and representatives of the Logistics and Transportation Industry in Panama. The trip was sponsored by SENACYT, which is the Panamanian equivalent of the National Science Foundation (NSF), as part of a national effort to improve the country's transportation and logistics workforce. In addition to the sponsorship of SENACY, this collaboration was possible due to a Memorandum of Understanding with UMIP signed by Southern Miss President Martha Saunders in 2009.  LEARN MORE 

 A Stanford University research team has designed a high-efficiency charging system that uses magnetic fields to wirelessly transmit large electric currents between metal coils placed several feet apart. The long-term goal of the research is to develop an all-electric highway that wirelessly charges cars and trucks as they cruise down the road.

The new technology has the potential to dramatically increase the driving range of electric vehicles and eventually transform highway travel, according to the researchers. Their results are published in the journal Applied Physics Letters (APL). LEARN MORE
