A team of researchers including Rice University’s James Tour and Shichen Xu has developed an ultrafast, one-step method to recover rare earth elements (REEs) from discarded magnets using an innovative approach that offers significant environmental and economic benefits over traditional recycling methods.

A common problem with oil wells is that they can run dry even when sound-based measurements say there’s still oil there. 

Electric space heating systems and appliances like water heaters can help American homeowners reduce their energy use, and possibly their utility bills, according to a team led by researchers at Penn State.

Public electric vehicle charging stations in America have a bad reputation.

A study co-led by ICN2 reveals that ice is a flexoelectric material, meaning it can produce electricity when unevenly deformed. 

“Climate change has already caused more than 12,000 species to shift their homes across land, freshwater and the sea,” says the University of Adelaide’s Dr Chloe Hayes, who has published a study on the new approach.

Oregon State University has been selected to lead a national research center focused on making electronics more resilient to radiation, which could strengthen national security and boost U.S. competitiveness in space and defense technologies.

California pioneers artificial intelligence technologies, but can it power the many data centers AI requires?

A new innovation from Cornell researchers lowers the energy use needed to power artificial intelligence – a step toward shrinking the carbon footprints of data centers and AI infrastructure.

Scientists can now reliably chill specimens near absolute zero for over 10 hours while taking images resolved to the level of individual atoms with an electron microscope.
