Utah State University is working to test and hopefully commercialize a new ground sensor that can measure water flow in soils — an instrument that would be critical to helping water managers understand water supply and act as a more efficient alternative to other instruments. Scott Jones, professor of environmental soil physics, and Logan-based Apogee Instruments are using funding from the Utah Science Technology and Research initiative to compare their sensors to heat flux plates, underground instruments that measure water and soil activity.

The University System of Maryland plans to establish a $25 million fund to invest in startup companies created by students, faculty and graduates. Multiple news organizations report that the Board of Regents committee approved the fund on Thursday. The fund would require the system to invest $10 million over the next four years, and the remainder would be raised from venture funds, state funds and other sources. That fund is intended to offer investments between $50,000 and $500,000.

NEXT Pittsburgh
At a recent gathering called Opt412 about optimizing the potential for Pittsburgh, an engaged crowd of several hundred listened to thoughtful conversations about various aspects of the city. When former Pittsburgh Mayor Tom Murphy got to the microphone, following several other speakers early in the day, he made an interesting observation. "You know I find it ironic, in the discussion I've heard so far today, that we're at the University of Pittsburgh but it’s never been mentioned," he said. "The conversation has been about Carnegie Mellon University. Why is that?"
Good question. It's not unusual for Carnegie Mellon to steal the spotlight, with its stellar reputation for startups and technology, robotics and innovative ways.
