A new study combines interpretable machine learning with laboratory experiments to uncover how the elemental composition of biochar influences persistent free radicals, offering a potential tool for predicting biochar reactivity and environmental risks.

A new imaging system produces clearer images taken through deep tissue, dense fog, or other environments where existing imaging systems struggle. Unlike standard near-infrared systems, it uses low-cost silicon-based detectors. The method could help improve cancer diagnosis and imaging systems used in self-driving cars.

SUNY Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Poly) has received a $15,000 grant from the Health Forward Foundation to support an innovative research project aimed at improving the understanding of mechanical ventilation and advancing future respiratory care technologies.

UL Research Institutes today announced that Chao-Yang Wang, Ph.D., an internationally recognized leader in battery science, electrochemical energy systems, and energy storage safety, has been appointed vice president and executive director of its Electrochemical Safety Research Institute. Wang succeeds Judy Jeevarajan, Ph.D., who will continue with UL Research Institutes in a new role as vice president and distinguished scientific advisor.

Portland State University has been selected to lead a national research team that will use artificial intelligence to lower the cost of finding geothermal energy. The project, supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, is one of the first chosen under DOE's Genesis Mission.

A new, end-to-end, machine-learning-guided workflow created in the lab of UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and Department of Chemistry Prof. Laura Gagliardi is helping smooth the path from academic idea to manufacture-ready reality in a single discovery process.

Sunflowers are unable to fully recover from drought, new research has found, contradicting previous findings on the plant’s ability to reverse drought-induced failure of water-transporting tissues and revealing new insights into how drought impacts plants.

A semitrailer loaded with mock nuclear weapons is propelled down a sled track and slammed head-on into a barrier to test the design of the trailer.
