Now a new study led by UC Davis researchers offers evidence that grapes and the wines they produce are also the product of an unseen but fairly predictable microbial terroir, itself shaped by the climate and geography of the region, vineyard and even individual vine.

Berkeley Lab Researchers Probe Into Electronic Structure of MOF May Lead to Improved Capturing of Greenhouse Gases

Suggesting that quantum computers might benefit from losing some data, physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have entangled—linked the quantum properties of—two ions by leaking judiciously chosen information to the environment.

Researchers were awarded the hours on two of America's fastest supercomputers dedicated to open science.

Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum, one of the leading global manufacturers of vacuum pumps and systems, signed a contract with a distributor for the Commonwealth of Independent States CIS region. This contract will be the basis for a strategic partnership with Vacuummash, the leading vacuum pump and -systems suppliers in Russia and will facilitate the access to the CIS States.

Study shows why pollution results in larger, deeper and longer lasting storm clouds, leading to colder days and warmer nights.
