Newswise — America’s infrastructure is cracking, according to the latest report card from the American Society of Civil Engineers. In multiple categories, from aviation to roads to energy, the country’s infrastructure is earning Ds, almost-failing grades. Virginia Tech engineering experts can break down what these failing grades mean — and what needs to happen to…
Newswise — The agricultural sector’s increasing demand for efficient and reliable energy solutions has underscored the limitations of traditional solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Conventional maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods often struggle to maintain optimal power extraction under fluctuating environmental conditions, leading to wasted energy. Furthermore, standard inverters often produce AC output with high total…
Newswise — Dr. R. Wesley Farr, Lecturer, teaches environmental health, aerospace toxicology, global health, and infectious diseases for the UWF Department of Public Health “The measles vaccine allowed the public health and medical communities to eliminate measles in the U.S. by 2000, but measles is reemerging in the U.S. during this period of vaccine hesitancy….
Newswise — Energy-hungry Artificial Intelligence ‘has an unsustainable impact in terms of CO2 emissions; training large deep learning models (such as GPT and BERT) has a significant environmental impact, in fact training a model such as GPT-3 (175 billion parameters) required 355 GPU-years (the GPU is the type of processor used for AI), costing an…
Newswise — New Jersey Institute of Technology biologist Xiaonan Tai has received a National Science Foundation CAREER Award to investigate how landscape positions determine forest fate during extreme heat and drought — a factor that could explain why some forests perish while others survive. The CAREER award, among NSF’s most prestigious honors for junior faculty,…
Newswise — Researchers in South Korea have developed a cobalt-iron (CoFe)-based non-noble metal ammonia decomposition catalyst, advancing eco-friendly hydrogen production. The research team led by Dr. Su-Un Lee and Dr. Ho-Jeong Chae from the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology(KRICT) has successfully developed a high-performance ammonia decomposition catalyst by incorporating cerium oxide (CeO₂) into a…
Newswise — Dr. Young Cheol Park and his research team from the CCS Research Department at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) have successfully developed a new solid adsorbent capable of directly capturing CO₂ from the atmosphere and recovering it at an average high purity of 96.5%. The team also succeeded in demonstrating the…
Newswise — As climate change accelerates, mature forests may struggle to survive. A recent study reveals that older trees retain a ‘memory’ of past water conditions, making it harder for them to adapt to drier environments.The study by Cal Poly Humboldt Botany Professor Alana Chin and colleagues and published in the American Journal of Botany…
Newswise — Herdon, Va., March 15, 2025 — A global survey of more than 30,000 people in 30 countries has revealed how people around the world feel about climate change, and how those emotions relate to perceptions of and support for climate interventions that could address the crisis. The new study is published in the…
