Understanding and controlling heat flow is critical for many applications, especially for electronics. As these devices become smaller, the interfaces between materials often become the bottleneck to removing heat. In this research, scientists uncovered a new mechanism for the transfer of energy across these interfaces that involves the coupling between electrons and atomic vibrations.

Research by the University of Pittsburgh shows that state and federal appropriations allowing Pennsylvania to treat abandoned mine drainage works to both successfully and cost effectively clean up acidic water. But their research also shows funding is insufficient for long-term treatment for mine drainage and other abandoned mine hazards

In thousands of simulations, STRIDE produced much more accurate travel times than the standard slope-only models. STRIDE also chose to use established roads and trails to avoid patches of forest or dense vegetation. In contrast, the slope-only model sent rescuers through dense vegetation, dangerous scree fields and forested areas.
