A University of Texas at Dallas physicist has teamed with Texas Instruments Inc. to design a better way for electronics to convert waste heat into reusable energy.

The new approach provides a new way for industrialized production of cellulosic ethanol with high efficiency and low cost.

Geothermal manifestations at Earth’s surface can be mapped and characterized by a variety of well-established exploration methods. 

A research team led by the University of California San Diego has discovered the root cause of why lithium metal batteries fail—bits of lithium metal deposits break off from the surface of the anode during discharging and are trapped as “dead” or inactive lithium that the battery can no longer access.

A novel system developed by MIT researchers automatically “learns” how to schedule data-processing operations across thousands of servers — a task traditionally reserved for imprecise, human-designed algorithms.

California leads the nation in the adoption of rooftop solar systems, but information on which communities do, and do not, benefit from these installations has been limited to broad income classifications and anecdotal observations. 

New research suggests less than 10 years' supply.

Scientists find pockets of methane in deep-sea rock samples.

Early on a Sunday morning in June, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Prof. Matthew Johnson and two Carleton graduate students hauled 700 pounds (more than 300 kilograms) of gear into the Ottawa International Airport.

Widespread species decline at the hands of humans is a powerful tale.
