Using Machine Learning and Computation to Unveil Mechanisms for Co₂-To-Fuel Conversion

Scientists are increasingly exploring carbon dioxide (CO₂) hydrogenation – where CO₂ reacts with hydrogen over a catalyst to give rise to products like methanol – to convert CO₂ into useful chemicals and fuels.

Discovery Marks the First Detection of Variable Water Clouds Outside of Our Solar System

A Jupiter-sized world just 7.5 light-years away is cloudy, chemically complex, and, it turns out, more like home than anyone expected.

New Framework Developed for Moving Endangered Species to Safer Locations

A new framework designed to guide one of the hardest decisions in conservation—whether to move a species outside its historical range to save it from extinction—has been published in Conservation Science and Practice, capping a multi-year, Pacific-wide effort in which the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa played a central supporting role.

MIT Farm Is Growing

Co-founders Aleks Banaś and Zachary Rapaport see architecture and farming as deeply complementary disciplines.

UH Study Reveals How Tilapia Adapt to Extreme Salt Stress

In the world of aquatic life, the Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) is remarkably tolerant to salt water, surviving in habitats ranging from fresh water to hypersaline ponds three times saltier than the ocean.
