Using Keck Planet Finder on Maunakea, UH astronomers fixed the age of HR 7672 and turned its brown dwarf into a high‑precision benchmark for cooling models.

Two recent acquisitions and state programs show Hawaii is keeping tech talent and building startups at home.

A Honolulu team used mRNA to produce PD‑L1‑blocking nanobodies that shrank colorectal tumors about 50% in mice, suggesting a cheaper alternative to pricey antibody drugs.

The Hawai‘i PUC approved a 43 MW solar‑plus‑storage project on Kaua‘i. KIUC and AES say Kaawanui will supply about 17.5% of the island’s power and deliver long‑term savings.

A Honolulu summit this week will link startups, allied partners and military sustainment officials to fast track dual use technologies for Indo Pacific resilience.

A UH-led global study maps zoantharians and finds weak genetic differences across oceans; researchers warn these reef relatives can displace corals in stressed habitats.

Hawaiʻi will tap about $149.5M in federal BEAD funds to connect roughly 7,100 unserved locations through Connect Kākou, pairing subsea and last‑mile work with digital inclusion programs.

A SmileHub ranking puts Hawaiʻi 4th for cancer research output but 41st for funding — strong science, spotty resources. What that split means for patients and policy.

Aloha Pacific FCU is underwriting a decade-long sponsorship that will fund scholarships, travel and a new on-campus UH Esports arena opening in August 2027. The move aims to scale UH's program into a sustained varsity-style operation.

The 10th Annual Hawai‘i Code Challenge concluded with teams presenting tech solutions to local issues, competing for a $18,000 prize. The event highlighted tech innovation and its role in modernizing government services.

Hawaiʻi's Connect Kākou initiative received federal approval to use Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program funds to improve state internet connectivity.

A UH Mānoa team won a top ASRU hackathon prize for Aurion, an AI co‑pilot that flags hidden distress in speech and trims CHW paperwork. The project hopes to free time for frontline care.
