Clarkson University’s Mitlin & Paek Win DOE Basic Energy Science Grant

Clarkson Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Professor David Mitlin and Assistant Professor Eunsu Paek have received a prestigious and highly competitive grant from the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Basic Energy Sciences to perform research on high energy – high power battery materials that use sodium instead of lithium.

On the Origins of Star Stuff: HAWC Collaboration Sheds Light on Origin of Anti-Matter

Michigan Tech team and others use a high-altitude observatory in Mexico to better understand where gamma rays come from.

Researchers Image Quasiparticles that Could Lead to Faster Circuits, Higher Bandwidths

A research team led by Iowa State University's Zhe Fei has made the first images of half-light, half-matter quasiparticles called exciton-polaritons.

Perseverance Pays Off in Fight Against Deadly Lassa Virus

A team led by Staff Scientist Kathryn Hastie and Professor Erica Ollmann Saphire at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) has solved the structure of the viral machinery that Lassa virus uses to enter human cells.

UM Physicists Part of New Effort to Explore Nature of Matter

Physicists from the University of Mississippi have played key roles in the hardware development and data analysis for the Muon g-2 experiment, and the project’s central component traveled through northeast Mississippi on a month-long journey from New York to the Chicago suburbs.

New Study Looks Deeper Into Atoms Than Ever Before

Researchers at Binghamton University and the Brookhaven National Laboratory have observed a never before seen atomic transformation that may take place in many catalytic reactions.

Rising CO2 Leading to Changes in Land Plant Photosynthesis

Researchers led by Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego have determined that major changes in plant behavior have occurred over the past 40 years, using measurements of subtle changes in the carbon dioxide (CO2) currently found in the atmosphere.

'Big Science' Efforts Shift into High Gear at Fermilab, NIU Faculty and Student Scientists Reap the Benefits

Some of the world’s largest and most fascinating experiments—the kind that involve hundreds of scientists and tackle mysteries of the universe—are happening practically in Northern Illinois University’s own back yard, creating cutting-edge research opportunities for faculty and students alike.

Perspectives on Building Nanofactories for Energy and Medical Uses

At the MSU-DOE Plant Research Laboratory (PRL), scientists are learning how bacterial nanofactories are constructed in nature. Recent experiments show we could engineer their building blocks into new structures, for useful applications.

Hints from Hemoglobin Lead to Better Carbon Monoxide Storage

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Turin, and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have shown that cooperative MOF adsorbents can be built by design to target key industrially relevant molecules for separation, in a fundamental new mechanism.
