Newswise: Divining peak groundwater
Released: 26-Apr-2024 8:05 AM EDT
Divining peak groundwater
Oak Ridge National Laboratory

New research predicts peak groundwater extraction for key basins around the globe by the year 2050. The map indicates groundwater storage trends for Earth’s 37 largest aquifers using data from the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory GRACE satellite.

Study shows potential of super grids when hurricanes overshadow solar panels
Oak Ridge National Laboratory

.Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory developed a comprehensive modeling method to better predict the drop in electricity generation when hurricane clouds overshadow solar panels. The team explored ways to compensate for these energy losses with super grids, a collection of grids connected so electricity can flow across island chains or between continents.

Newswise: Scientists pioneer new X-ray microscopy method for data analysis  ​“ on the fly”

High-resolution Lidar Sees Birth Zone of Cloud Droplets
Brookhaven National Laboratory

Scientists have made the first-ever remote observations of the fine-scale structure at the base of clouds. The results show that the air-cloud interface is a transition zone where aerosol particles suspended in Earth's atmosphere give rise to the droplets that ultimately form clouds.

Newswise: Critical Minerals Recovery from Electronic Waste

New Method Could Explore Gluon Saturation at the Future Electron-Ion Collider
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Exploring the gluon saturation in large nuclei is one of the major goals of the future Electron-Ion Collider. New research proposes a novel method to probe the onset of gluon saturation by measuring the nucleon energy-energy correlation in deep inelastic scattering. This result leads to a comprehensive approach to study the universal behavior of gluon saturation.

Newswise: This Alloy is Kinky
Released: 22-Apr-2024 9:00 AM EDT
This Alloy is Kinky
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

A team led by Berkeley Lab has revealed a new metal alloy that resists damage at both hot and cold temperature extremes due to an atomic-level effect called kink bands, making it potentially suitable for demanding applications like more powerful aerospace engines.

Newswise: New Beta-Decay Measurements in Mirror Nuclei Pin Down the Weak Nuclear Force

New Beta-Decay Measurements in Mirror Nuclei Pin Down the Weak Nuclear Force
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Scientists have gained insights into the weak nuclear force from new, more sensitive studies of the beta decays of the “mirror” nuclei lithium-8 and boron-8. The weak nuclear force drives the process of nuclear beta decay. The research found that the properties of the beta decays of lithium-8 and boron-8 are in perfect agreement with the predictions of the Standard Model.
