Create a prototype of an efficient aircraft capable of flying with ion propulsion. This is the aim of the IPROP project, led by Politecnico di Milano, and funded by the EU with an EIC pathfinder worth €3 million and lasting four years.

Romero, an expert on voter behavior and political representation, offers insights into what it will take to restore trust in America’s electoral process and safeguard inclusive democracy.

Dr. Keshawa Shukla, professor of practice in subsea engineering, and interdisciplinary engineering doctoral student Vy Le, are designing an offshore hydrogen hub that can produce green hydrogen from the electrolysis of water, using the electricity obtained from an offshore wind substation.

Argonne develops a breakthrough material for the cathode in lithium-ion batteries. It enables an across-the-board improvement in battery performance, supporting widespread adoption of electric vehicles and grid batteries.

Calculating quantum chemistry quickly allows scientists to refine their understanding of complex chemical systems.

Forensic science students at New Jersey institute of Technology are giving criminal investigators a step up on solving cases, and they're doing it by enlisting the campus community's help through an enticing offer — “lend your soles” for free pizza. The university’s Forensic Science Student Association (FSSA) is hosting pop-up events on campus to collect shoe impressions from willing volunteers in an effort to expand NJIT's Shoeprint Image Capture and Retrieval (SICAR) database — one of only two forensic footwear databases in New Jersey.

A project led by the University of Barcelona and the University of La Laguna will sequence the complete genome of the spider Dysdera curvisetae, a species endemic to the Canary Islands that has its natural habitat in the intertidal zone in the coast of Tenerife. This initiative is one of the twenty projects to be promoted by the European Reference Genome Atlas Consortium (ERGA) — the European node of the Earth BioGenome Project (EBP) — which aims to sequence reference genomes of species of eukaryotic organisms to improve the management and conservation of biodiversity in European territory.

FQxI grant winner and quantum physicist Natalia Ares, of the University of Oxford, UK, and her colleagues suspect the key to understanding time may be to study the fundamental physics of timekeeping which, unlike the technological aspect, is largely unknown. With a grant of over US$1.8-million from FQxI, they have made discoveries that may one day help us make sense of the enigmatic fourth dimension.

Large language models are changing the way that people create and communicate, but they can also change the way we do science. Researchers from Argonne National Laboratory hope to demystify these tools and share how they’re shaping future research.
