Just this past week, Virginia Tech, for example, said it had moved its admissions deposit deadline for first-year college students to May 15. More than 17 million students use the FAFSA every year to receive financial aid for their college education. Rachel Reniva of Dothan, Alabama, said the financial aid decision will affect not only her son’s future but also her entire family’s. Although Jaramillo lives in Toronto, he is a U.S. citizen and thus eligible for financial aid.

☆ What is the LK-99 superconductor? Everyone is talking about how it could change the world, but experts say we're still a long way off
  + stars: | 2023-08-04 | by ( Sindhu Sundar | Jenny Mcgrath | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +8 min
South Korean scientists claim to have made a superconductor, LK-99, that works at room temperature. But electricity that travels along a superconductor barely loses energy along the way. That's the premise behind LK-99, a possible superconductor material that scientists in South Korea say they have devised, which has been dominating headlines and social media posts in the past week or so. To that end, some experts are trying, but this holy grail has eluded scientists for many years, so the prospects are still a long way off, experts told Insider. "So low power energy chips is one major area in chip design."

CNN —A university janitor who turned off a freezer after hearing multiple “annoying alarms,” ruined more than 20 years of research, according to a lawsuit filed against his employer by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in upstate New York.

The college does not believe the janitor is at fault but instead blames Daigle Cleaning Systems for failing to properly train and supervise him, according to the suit. CNN reached out to attorneys for Daigle Cleaning Systems and the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute for comment. A warning was posted on the freezer, according to the court filing.
