Sandia National Laboratories and the nuclear security enterprise delivered the first unit of the B61-13 gravity bomb about a year ahead of schedule. 

Simultaneously detecting multiple signals with high precision has long challenged microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors due to unavoidable interference. 

Land use change and the increased agrochemical use associated with agricultural intensification significantly alter farmland biodiversity and associated ecosystem services worldwide. Vineyards as ecologically, culturally, and economically important agroecosystems, are particularly vulnerable, facing numerous pests and diseases while only a small proportion adopt sustainable management practices. Nevertheless, under suitable conditions, vineyards can support diverse and abundant predator communities capable of delivering effective natural pest control services. The collaborative study conducted by researchers from the HUN-REN Centre for Ecological Research and the University of Milan investigated the role of flying vertebrate predators – birds and bats – in vineyard natural pest control. Their findings, published in the Journal of Applied Ecology, demonstrate that these predators not only help regulate pest populations but also increase economic benefit to farmers.

SAN ANTONIO — June 16, 2025 — The Women’s Global Leadership Conference (WGLC) in Energy has selected Southwest Research Institute’s Angel Wileman for 2025’s Women in Hydrogen 50. This list recognizes 50 women, nominated by their colleagues and peers, as the current and future leaders of the hydrogen economy. This distinction honors Wileman as one of the most accomplished figures in her industry, with the potential to affect real change.

Reliable 5G positioning is vital for smart cities, driverless cars, and next-gen mobile services. Yet in dense urban landscapes, high-rise buildings often distort signals, leading to major positioning errors.

New research from Shenzhen University and Jinan University explores the use of carbon fiber composites in civil engineering, focusing on recycling methods and structural applications. The study, published in Engineering, highlights an integrated approach to extending the lifespan of reinforced concrete structures through impressed current cathodic protection and structural strengthening. Additionally, it presents an electrochemical recycling technique that efficiently recovers carbon fibers, maintaining their strength and functionality. These advancements offer practical solutions for sustainable construction and resource management.
