We ask a lot of the land: feed the world with crops, power the world with bioenergy, retain nutrients so they don’t pollute our water and air. To help landscapes answer these high demands, scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory are designing ways to improve—and hopefully optimize—land use.

RNAMiner makes genetic science easier, could lead to faster results

An Arizona State University researcher is calling into question recent findings that the human nose is capable of distinguishing at least 1 trillion odors.

Carnegie Mellon University has funded six new brain research projects through its ProSEED grant program. Part of CMU’s BrainHub^SM initiative, the projects range from creating advanced diagnostics for mild traumatic brain injury and developing a high resolution, portable electroencephalogram (EEG), to studying how the brain responds to mechanical stimuli and creating computational methods to study neuroscience data.

Strategic agreement streamlines integration within laboratory informatics systems.

Researchers have developed a new design for a cloaking device that overcomes some of the limitations of existing “invisibility cloaks.” 

Workload handling software has broad potential to maximize use of available supercomputing resources.

Bayview site will provide more digital storage space to scholars from Johns Hopkins, University of Maryland.

Government needs to simplify the plethora of schemes aiming to facilitate business-industry research collaboration across all disciplines, according to a new review published today by Professor Dame Ann Dowling DBE FREng FRS, President of the Royal Academy of Engineering. 

The author of a new study of evolutionary convergence argues that the development of life on Earth is predictable, meaning that similar organisms should therefore have appeared on other, Earth-like planets by now. 

With the announcement July 2 that BP has settled federal, state and local claims related to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill for a total of more than $18.7 billion, leaders with Texas’ RESTORE Centers of Excellence are moving forward with plans to use millions in spill-related Clean Water Act funding on research and science activities that will benefit Texas and help to restore the health of the Gulf of Mexico.

A research group at Umeå University has managed to capture and describe a protein structure that, until now, has been impossible to study. The discovery lays the base for developing designed enzymes as catalysts to new chemical reactions for instance in biotechnological applications. The result of the study is published in the journal Nature Communications.
