Argonne National Laboratory is shaping Industry 4.0 with groundbreaking research into advanced ways of making things more effective, efficient and economical, using the most cutting-edge materials and processes, with the lowest possible environmental impact. 
Nadine Aubry, a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, was recently elected as an international fellow of the United Kingdom's Royal Academy of Engineering. This prestigious honor recognizes engineers who have made significant contributions to their respective fields. 
About 30 miles off the coast of eastern North Carolina stands Frying Pan Tower, a local maritime relic that looms over a frying pan-shaped, sandy ridge known as Frying Pan Shoals. Treacherous for boaters yet a saltwater angler's dream, the shoals are known for strong currents and shallow waters that have caused hundreds of shipwrecks through the years, but also harbor a thriving, high-producing ecosystem that includes an elaborate web of marine life from microscopic phytoplankton to shrimp, crab, and baitfish, to sea birds, loggerheads and porpoise, to grouper, billfish and sharks. 
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Oct. 12, 2023) -- The Herculaneum scrolls are among the most iconic and inaccessible of the world's vast collection of damaged manuscripts. Since being burned and carbonized by the catastrophic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 CE, they've been deemed "unreadable." For more than 2,000 years, wisdom from the only library to survive from ancient times remained locked away. 
The RUDN University economist has developed a new typology of theoretical approaches to innovations study. It expands theoretical knowledge in this field of science. Based on the new typology, the scientists named the most promising areas for further research on innovation. 
RUDN University scientists have found the most accurate way to determine the spatial structure of urban confinement using satellite images. It will help create precise maps and monitor the microclimate of the urban environment, support sustainable development and even make weather forecasts. 
Adult insects, including butterflies and moths, typically have only three pairs of legs. But the existence of extra legs in caterpillars - chubby abdominal appendeages also known as 'prolegs' - has long posed an evolutionary mystery to biologists. 
Scientists from the National University of Singapore have developed an innovative catalyst that achieves a significantly lower carbon footprint, paving the way for greener chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. 
A research team led by Dr. Oh, Si Hyoung of the Energy Storage Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a highly safe aqueous rechargeable battery that can offer a timely substitute that meets the cost and safety needs. 
Less pollution and the odd shapes of snow grains as they pack together should help cut the decline of snowpack later this century. 
Showers in bathrooms bring us comfort; showers from space bring astrophysicists joy. Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have observed, with their novel method, cosmic-ray extensive air showers with unprecedented precision, opening the door to new insights into the Universe's most energetic particles. 
Dynamic and changing Arctic Ocean conditions likely caused three major mortality events in the eastern North Pacific gray whale population since the 1980s, a new study has found. 
New pharmaceuticals, cleaner fuels, biodegradable plastics: in order to meet society's needs, chemists have to develop new synthesis methods to obtain new products that do not exist in their natural state. 
71 of the 162 ice shelves that surround Antarctica have reduced in volume over 25 years from 1997 to 2021, with a net release of 7.5 trillion tonnes of meltwater into the oceans, say scientists. 
To study muscle diseases, scientists rely on the mouse as a model organism. Researchers at the University of Basel have now developed a new method that is not only faster and more efficient than conventional ones but also greatly reduces the number of experimental animals needed for studying the function of genes in muscle fibers. 
Smaller dogs may live twice as long life as their larger counterparts. But does this size difference also impact how dogs age in terms of behavior and cognitive abilities? 
Recent paleontological explorations in the Tatacoa Desert in Colombia led to the recovery of the most complete skeleton of a "saber-toothed marsupial" discovered in northern South America. 
Scientists have long speculated about the physical changes that occur in the brain when a new memory is formed. Now, research from the National Institute for Physiological Sciences (NIPS) has shed light on this intriguing neurological mystery. 
Despite incentives to use just the right amount of nitrogen fertilizer on corn fields, official recommendations are broad and ideal rates vary widely. A state-funded Iowa State University research project is collecting data from trials across Iowa - mostly from fields of participating volunteer farmers - to build models that offer far more granular guidance.
