Recently, the research group of associate professor Matthias Heyden in ASU’s  School of Molecular Sciences  has found a new way forward. They developed a method that can tease out these slow, important motions from short computer simulations—snapshots lasting only billionths of a second. Even better, the method is remarkably reliable: run it again and again, and it tells the same story each time. They have recently published this work in Science Advances.

Although climate models predicted Antarctic sea ice would steadily dwindle, its extent grew for decades until 2016. A new study finds the ice finally receded when wind-driven upwelling unleashed warmer, deeper water.

Discovering how the bird flu virus degrades in the air around livestock and how engineering solutions can effect that degradation quickly and efficiently are core aims of a new University of Michigan Engineering-led project funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This work could help prevent or mitigate future outbreaks.
