a team of researchers has used an X-ray laser to measure, for the first time, how a plasma created by a laser blast expands in the hundreds of femtoseconds (quadrillionths of a second) after it’s created. Their technique could eventually reveal tiny instabilities in the plasma that swirl like cream in a cup of coffee.
As part of a new program, Argonne’s researchers are evaluating what it takes to power drones with batteries.
New Algorithm Can Improve Outcomes in Assigning Housing to Homeless Youth and Change Housing Policy
The Duke of Cambridge, Prince William visited Tanzania’s College of African Wildlife Management (CAWM), Mweka, as part of his current visit to Africa as President of United for Wildlife. While there, the Duke took part in an exercise as part of SMART training at the college being supported by United for Wildlife and implemented by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).
There is a missing link between genetic and environmental causes of Parkinson’s disease, speculate scientists at UAB, and armed with a $2.5 million grant from the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, they intend to find it.
New Johns Hopkins study explores navigation similarities between the mind and robot swarms
A new study shows Humboldt Bay to be one of the key sites in the western hemisphere for dozens of species of shorebird including western sandpiper, marbled godwit, and long-billed curlew.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Critical Materials Institute has taken a major step toward printed, aligned anisotropic magnets via additive manufacturing processes.
For 12 months, UAB physics graduate student Ashlyn Burch will work at Sandia National Laboratory, high in the semi-arid Western city of Albuquerque, New Mexico, supported by a U.S. Department of Energy Science Graduate Student Research award.
A team of biologists has discovered that the distinctive genetic processes of early development help explain patterns of animal development in nature and across the evolutionary tree.
The National Science Foundation recently announced its first research awards under the Hispanic-Serving Institutions Program.
Nearly 300 representatives from industry, the Department of Energy, DOE national laboratories and the investment sector gathered to discuss energy storage innovation at the inaugural Department of Energy InnovationXLab Summit Sept.18-19 at DOE’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
