Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, are advancing robotic perception capabilities by using artificial intelligence (AI) to equip autonomous agents with the capacity to make sense of unstructured environments and make plans like humans.
While Joy Morin was an undergraduate intern at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL), she discovered her interest in developing nuclear fuels and technology.
Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) announced that it has developed an accelerator system-on-chip (SoC) named ‘K-AB21’. The accelerator chip developed by the researchers measures 77mm x 67mm, and is fabricated through the 12-nanometer process.
Argonne National Laboratory recently hosted the Climate Smart Women Energy Leaders (CSWEL) training program, part of the Net Zero World Initiative. The program equips women from around the world with knowledge and tools to advance sustainable energy solutions.
The Chulalongkorn School of Integrated Innovation (CSII) proudly congratulates Professor Suchada Sukrong...
An Atlantic puffin chick hatched this summer has now been fully integrated with the rest of the colony in the Central Park Zoo Polar Zone.
More than a million years ago, on a hot savannah teeming with wildlife near the shore of what would someday become Lake Turkana in Kenya, two completely different species of hominins may have passed each other as they scavenged for food. Scientists know this because they have examined 1.5-million-year-old fossils they unearthed and have concluded they represent the first example of two sets of hominin footprints made about the same time on an ancient lake shore. The discovery will provide more insight into human evolution and how species cooperated and competed with one another, the scientists said.
The Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (KFE) has begun its 2024 plasma experiments, aiming to secure advanced plasma operation technologies.
Dr. Michelle LaRue, an associate professor at the University of Canterbury, is revolutionizing wildlife ecology by using high-resolution satellite imagery to study emperor penguins from space.
A Mexican delegation is coming to retrieve 84 Mesoamerican axes currently in transit at UdeM, underscoring the need to raise public awareness of the looting of archaeological artifacts.
Dr. Jacqueline Gottlieb from Columbia University shares groundbreaking insights into the science of curiosity. Known for her research on cognition and decision-making, Dr. Gottlieb explains that curiosity isn’t just about learning—it’s a complex process where our brains assess uncertainty and prioritize valuable information
Plants widen microscopic pores on their leaves in response to heat. But scientists lacked an understanding of the mechanisms behind this “sweating” function. Now, biologists have unlocked the details behind these processes and identified two paths that plants use to handle rising temperatures.
David Nagib, an organic chemist and a professor of chemistry and biochemistry at The Ohio State University, has been selected as a finalist for the 2024 Blavatnik National Awards for Young Scientists.
Inspired by the dynamic color-changing properties of squid skin, researchers have developed a method to manufacture a heat-adjusting material that is breathable and washable and can be integrated into flexible fabric. The composite material operates in the infrared spectrum and consists of a polymer covered with copper islands.
Dr. Dave Rackstraw, a senior scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, is transforming science education using smartphones.
Dr. Robert Ferl, a molecular biologist and professor at the University of Florida, discusses his work on understanding how organisms, particularly plants, adapt to extreme environments, including space. He highlights his recent spaceflight aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard, where he conducted experiments to study the effects of space travel on plants.
The spectacular entry of a meteorite into Earth’s atmosphere over South Africa’s Eastern Cape Province on Sunday 25 August has unleashed a chain of events that would not be out of place in a Hollywood movie script.
A multi-institutional team of researchers developed a stand-alone box model to predict aqueous and cloud chemistry of biomass-burning phenols based on laboratory measurements.
Algunos libros de la época victoriana fueron teñidos con pigmentos tóxicos. Las últimas investigaciones sobre estos “libros venenosos” utilizaron una técnica no aplicada previamente a los libros para evaluar una colección universitaria, y los investigadores descubrieron que algunos volúmenes tenían posiblemente niveles inseguros. Presentarán sus resultados en la ACS Fall 2024.
Dr. Carl Lipo from Binghamton University studied Easter Island (Rapa Nui), where he has conducted extensive research on the famous moai statues and the island’s history.
