Ice Recovered from European Alps Holds 12,000-Year Record of History
Glacial ice offers a detailed record of the atmosphere, preserved in discrete layers, providing researchers with a valuable tool for studying planetary history.
Scientists Develop Deep-blue LEDs Expected to Greatly Enhance General Lighting
A Rutgers-led team of scientists has developed an eco-friendly, very stable, ultra-bright material and used it to generate deep-blue light (emission at ~450 nm) in a light-emitting diode (LED), an energy-efficient device at the heart of all major lighting systems.
Self-driving Lab: AI and Automated Biology Combine to Improve Enzymes
By combining artificial intelligence with automated robotics and synthetic biology, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have dramatically improved performance of two important industrial enzymes — and created a user-friendly, fast process to improve many more.
Seaweed-infused Cement Could Cut Concrete’s Carbon Footprint
The modern world is built with concrete: Humans use more concrete annually than any other material besides water. Yet cement, the key component of concrete, is the source of as much as 10% of all carbon dioxide emissions worldwide.
Scientists Uncover DNA Secrets to Bolster Corn Crop Traits
Innovative technology allows new insights for Rutgers researchers.
