When the temperature drops to -20°C, we electric car owners quickly notice it on our wallets.
Researchers are Harvesting Green Energy from Ground Vibrations
Vibrations in the ground are found everywhere.
New Approach to Qualifying Nuclear Reactor Components Rolling Out This Year
A thousand times faster than conventional testing, an ion beam approach to qualifying materials for use in the cores of advanced nuclear reactors is advancing through stages of approval by the industry standards organization ASTM.
A study in Stardust: Massive Binary Stars Emit Tiny Carbon Particles
It’s fitting that Yale junior Donglin Wu’s first major scientific journal article as lead author focuses on stardust — tiny solid grains that form from stellar winds, drift into interstellar space, and may eventually become parts of new planets.
Mapping the Future of Wildfires in a Warming World
How can scientists better assess the effects of a warming climate on wildfire behavior, fire risk, and long-term fire trends?
Many Nations Underestimate Greenhouse Emissions From Wastewater Systems, But the Lapse is Fixable
Nations worldwide underestimate greenhouse gas emissions from wastewater systems, research from Princeton University shows. Outdated inventory methods and failure to include items like latrines and untreated sewage in national reports are main reasons.
Warming Raises the Risk That Multiple Wildfires Strike at Once
The extreme heat, high winds, and severe dry conditions that produce towering, fast-moving flames that advance by the acre are not just becoming more common; new research shows that these factors are increasingly arising in multiple regions at the same time, creating the conditions for simultaneous wildfires around the world.
Predicting Extreme Rainfall Through Novel Spatial Modeling
Japan is an archipelago with diverse climate zones and complex topography that is prone to heavy rain and flooding.
$4.6M to Restore Coral Reef in American Samoa
A new $4.6–million multi-institute collaborative project to help grow coral restoration capacity in American Samoa will begin in early 2026, leveraging more than two decades of coral heat tolerance studies to inform a restoration with resilience approach.
UH Scientists Discover 10 New Species of Hawaiian Moths
University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers identified 10 new species and seven new groups (genera) of Hawaiian leaf-roller moths.
