The road to opening a copper-nickel mine in Minnesota is long and uncertain, but it’s a path Twin Metals is exploring every day.
Their exploratory drilling brings them further below the surface than 16 stacked Statues of Liberty, all to refine a plan to mine out the copper and nickel on the land here, if they ever get the proper approvals.
Dirac Labs, a quantum-enabled navigation company, today announced its $1.8M pre-seed funding to prototype its quantum sensors and conduct field trials to further refine its technology to provide universal positioning where GPS is unavailable.
Quantum sensing offers a resilient, alternative method of positioning by measuring features of Earth’s magnetic field, which remains present in environments where GPS signals cannot reach.
A pacemaker that never needs a battery replacement could soon become reality, thanks to a device that generates its own electricity from the very heartbeat it regulates. University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers built a nanogenerator small enough to slip inside an existing leadless pacemaker, potentially letting a single implant last a patient’s entire lifetime.
Led by postdoctoral scholar Pengfei Chen under professor Xudong Wang, the team designed the device to fit inside the Medtronic Micra, the most widely used leadless intracardiac pacemaker on the market today.
Homestead High School in Mequon hosts a college admissions presentation every year, offering families general advice about the application process.

As visitors walk through the renovated Chazen Museum of Art this fall, their eyes might wander from a contemporary abstract painting on one wall to a 16th century ceramic dish and a Renaissance-era oil painting on another. Soon, they may notice that the art around them lacks a clear-cut organization that separates each gallery by time period, medium or geographic location. Rather, these artworks are organized by an innovative technique allowing for countless connections between items.
Violent outbursts are so common that they’ve been dramatized on the popular medical TV series The Pitt. “Emergency rooms right now are like a powder keg,” said Rachel Odes, an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Nursing.

University of Wisconsin-Madison student Elena Motonishi’s personal experience managing asthma became the basis of an entrepreneurial venture that offers support when medical professionals cannot.
Her web platform, called Lobelia, is an AI-powered personal asthma management platform that uses health data, environmental factors and more to provide users with personalized risk assessments and advice.
I first arrived at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2022 to help my sister move into her dorm room on the fifth floor of Witte Hall. It wasn’t until a couple years later that I finally got to experience UW–Madison as a student myself.
Even after what felt like hundreds of orientations, somehow, almost everyone I knew remained, completely and utterly — disoriented. But I was luckier than the rest, because I had my sister around to show me the ropes. Without her I’d likely still be lost on the fourth floor of the humanities building.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison is one of the country’s top party schools, according to a new USA TODAY ranking.
With college football season about to begin, USA TODAY ranked the top party schools across the United States by averaging the results of seven different online lists, including Niche.com and The Wall Street Journal.
UW-Madison ranked fifth, just ahead of West Virginia and just behind Georgia.
There’s only one training program in the state: the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s School of Veterinary Medicine, where roughly 2,500 students vie for 100 open seats yearly. About half of the graduates will stay and practice in Wisconsin.
The school isn’t churning out enough graduates to make a serious dent in the state’s shortage. And its lecture halls and laboratories don’t have enough physical space to expand enrollment.
“We are capped out at the number of students we can admit because … the facilities just literally cannot fit any additional folks,” said Dr. Jonathan Levine, dean of the vet school.
