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.

Using AI to Mitigate the Growing Environmental Threat of Data Centers

By rethinking how large cloud computing systems operate, Associate Professor Christina Delimitrou seeks to make data centers more energy efficient.

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.
