There's plenty of graphite to mine in the U.S., but it's more expensive and the ore is of a lower grade compared with what the nation can get from abroad

Recently, the research team led by Prof. Hanyang Li at Harbin Engineering University has integrated functionalized liquid crystal (LC) microcavities with whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) laser technology to establish a novel real-time biosensing platform, enabling highly sensitive detection of ALT.

Researchers develop method to guide how MDA-MB-231 cancer cells – an invasive breast cancer cell – stuck, spread, and multiplied by tweaking the curves and chemistry of microscopic 're-entrant' structures.

Researchers from Kunming University of Science and Technology have discovered that certain soil minerals can trap dissolved organic matter released from biochar, keeping more carbon in the soil and potentially enhancing its long-term storage. Their study, published in Biochar, reveals that low-intensity rainfall helps retain this dissolved carbon within mineral-rich soils, limiting its downward movement and loss.

In a groundbreaking study that explores the complex interactions between cyanobacterial blooms and aquatic ecosystems, researchers are examining the effects of cyanobacterial growth and decline on dissolved organic matter and endogenous nutrient release at the sediment–water interface. The study, titled "Effects of Cyanobacterial Growth and Decline on Dissolved Organic Matter and Endogenous Nutrients Release at the Sediment–Water Interface," is led by Prof. Tao Huang from the School of Resources and Environmental Engineering at Anhui University in Hefei, China, and the Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Wetland Ecosystem Protection and Restoration. This research offers valuable insights into the ecological and environmental impacts of cyanobacterial blooms.

Researchers from Princeton engineering drove a moble lab across the country and found that emissions of methane and nitrous oxide, powerful greenhouse gases, are twice as high as national estimates.
