The Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in partnership with the National Laboratory of the Rockies, has launched a new national center to help strengthen the U.S. cement and concrete supply chain at a time of rising demand, increasing imports and mounting pressure on domestic infrastructure.

Researchers at Kennedy Krieger Institute and Penn Engineering announcing the development of an advanced artificial intelligence system that measures a child’s ability to imitate simple body movements using ordinary video recordings. The Computerized Assessment of Motor Imitation, or CAMI-2DNet, brings researchers one step closer to a scalable, objective method for evaluating imitation which is an important behavioral marker associated with autism.

People described as ‘problematic’ Internet users report higher stress, worse mood, and greater neglect of other activities than those who surf the web sparingly, according to a study published July 29, 2026 in the open access journal PLOS One by Silke M. Müller from the University Hospital Essen, Germany, and colleagues. These users also reported a stronger temptation to return to the Internet.

Researchers at Tulane University, Stanford University and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have discovered an antibody system never before documented in mammals. Vesper bats, a family encompassing more than 500 species, possess two distinct sets of antibody-producing genes, while every other known mammal has only one. Published in Science Advances, the findings reveal a previously unknown source of immune diversity that could help scientists investigate how bats coexist with viruses without becoming seriously ill.

Thousands of peer-reviewed papers on battery devices are published each year, yet the data contained are often reported in different formats and with varying levels of detail and accessibility. Now, a research team led by Maryland Engineering has announced an open-access database that tackles this persistent challenge in battery science.

International research team shows how hydrogen affects Nickel-base superalloys at elevated temperatures. Latest results published in journal Nature Materials

A research team has developed BloomNet, an interpretable deep-learning framework that forecasts harmful algal blooms at hourly resolution up to 72 hours ahead while also showing how risk changes over time.
