A new technical collaboration program at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory will help businesses develop and launch electric grid innovations. The initiative will provide companies with access to national laboratory resources, enabling them to capture market opportunities. Even startup and small businesses can now easily submit specific proposals for cost-shared research in ORNL’s Grid Research Integration and Deployment Center, or GRID-C.
A new toolkit helps researchers build optimal superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavities that form the backbone of advanced particle accelerators. The cavities’ cleanliness, shape, and roughness of their inner surfaces contribute to their efficiency. In tests of the toolkit, scientists found that smoother cavities function more efficiently.
The Association of Rehabilitation Nurses (ARN) has inducted their 2024-2025 ARN Board of Directors during the closing ceremony of ARN’s 50th Rehabilitation Nursing Conference.
Building on the momentum of Cizik School of Nursing’s growing portfolio of studies funded by the National Institutes of Health, the institute will provide key resources that nurse scientists need to advance meaningful programs of research.

The strategy group will draw from California’s research and higher education communities to recommend a new, publicly accessible data source to predict future wildfire losses. This effort will support California’s goals of building safer communities and expanding access to insurance coverage. “We can’t keep our Department and Californians in the dark ages when it comes to the use of technology and climate science.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected not only individual lives but also the world and global systems, both natural and human-made. Besides millions of deaths and environmental challenges, the rapid spread of the infection and its very high socioeconomic impact have affected healthcare, economic status and wealth, and mental health across the globe. To better appreciate the pandemic's influence, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches are needed. In this paper, together with world-leading scientists from different backgrounds we share collectively our views about the pandemic's footprint and discuss challenges that face the international community.
A set of knee exoskeletons, built with commercially available knee braces and drone motors at the University of Michigan, has been shown to help counteract fatigue in lifting and carrying tasks. They helped users maintain better lifting posture even when tired, a key factor in defending against on-the-job injuries, the researchers say.
Ultra-thin layers of silk deposited on graphene in perfect alignment represent a key advance for the control needed in microelectronics and advanced neural network development.
A study by Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers has shown that military veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), who participated in a program caring for horses, experienced an improved mental outlook and easing of symptoms. Some of the most widely used psychotherapy interventions for PTSD ... have shown that about one-third of participants drop out prior to the completion of treatment.
Lois Curfman McInnes, a senior computational scientist at Argonne, has been named a 2024 DOE Distinguished Scientist Fellow for her contributions to software and high performance computing leadership.
Having a robust emergency savings fund could help people weather financial shocks, such as job loss during the COVID-19 pandemic, finds a new study from the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis.
Research from the University of Michigan suggests that one day a phone app could be able to detect the development of hepatic encephalopathy in patients just by listening to them speak.
