BYLINE: Karina Valdes Newswise — Three University of Miami scholars were recognized for their research productivity by Academic Analytics (AA), a source of faculty research data and benchmarking engaged by top universities across the country. Pratim Biswas, professor in the Department of Chemical, Environmental, and Materials Engineering and dean of the College of Engineering; Antonio Nanni, professor in the Department…
BYLINE: Karen Dooley Newswise — With flood risks increasing from extreme weather events like hurricanes and even routine plumbing issues, a team from the University of Florida’s College of Design, Construction and Planning is helping Florida homeowners make smarter choices about building materials and interior finishes that better protect their homes and potentially save on…
Newswise — EAST LANSING, Mich. – A team of researchers at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, or FRIB, at Michigan State University discovered that cobalt-70 isotopes form different nuclear shapes when their energy levels differ only slightly. The findings, published in Nature Communications Physics, shed light on the dynamic, complex nature of exotic nuclear particles. The team…
Newswise — Scientists at McMaster University have demonstrated that natural genetic variations in a common species of mushroom can be used to create new strains capable of making customized, biodegradable replacements for fabric, plastic, packaging and other environmentally harmful materials. While mushrooms are already being used to produce a wide variety of eco-friendly products, manufacturers…
Newswise — A research team led by Dr. Chong-Pyo Cho from the Energy Convergence System Research Department at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (President: Yi Chang-Keun, hereinafter referred to as KIER) has successfully developed the Republic of Korea’s first continuous oxy-fuel combustion-based process for producing high-quality syngas* from waste plastics, including hard-to-recycle thermoset resins….
Newswise — In a recent study published in Engineering, researchers conducted an in-depth analysis of various sensing materials and mechanisms for detecting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. With the increasing concerns about global warming due to the rise of GHGs like methane (CH₄), nitrous oxide (N₂O), and carbon dioxide (CO₂), accurate quantification of these gases is crucial…
Newswise — Industry and academia are collaborating to build a world-first, cost-effective concentrated solar thermal (CST) demonstrator that is set to transform Australia’s industrial heat sector by reducing its reliance on fossil fuels. Using lightweight plastic mirrors to focus sunlight on a specific target to create the necessary heat needed for industrial processes, the University…
Newswise — The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS, President Lee Ho Seong) and the Korea Gas Safety Corporation (KGS, President & CEO Bahk Gyurng-Goog) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on April 22 at the KRISS in Daejeon. The agreement aims to promote the standardization of the hydrogen industry and establish a…
Newswise — A latest study published in Engineering presents a novel approach to address the global issue of discarded face masks by converting them into high-value products such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and hydrogen. This research, led by a team of international scientists, not only offers a sustainable solution to the face-mask waste problem but also demonstrates…
Newswise — The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” was passed by the House of Representatives last week and, if it clears the Senate as it is now, critics say it would effectively end most clean energy tax credits and reverse much of the US agenda to mitigate climate change. According to the Massachusetts Institute of…
