Ammonia is a cornerstone of global agriculture and a promising carrier for renewable energy storage. Yet nearly all of it is still produced via the Haber‑Bosch process, which operates above 400 °C and 200 atm, consumes about two percent of global energy, and emits large amounts of carbon dioxide. That is why finding a greener route under mild conditions has become a major challenge in chemistry an

UB-led research reveals that a tiny chemical difference between RNA and DNA helps explain why RNA more readily organizes into droplets when temperatures rise.

Forests support much of the world's biodiversity and play a vital role in regulating Earth's climate, but they are increasingly exposed to drought. To understand the potential consequences of drought, a key question is whether trees can acclimate to prolonged water stress by altering their physiology. Many p revious attempts to answer this question have relied on evidence from potted plants or nat

Understanding the uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau is key to grasping the geodynamic processes that formed the "Roof of the World," as well as its far-reaching impacts on regional and global climate and the evolution of Asian biodiversity. The Gangdese Mountains, which run along the southern margin of the Lhasa terrane, are central to this story and among the many topographic features of the

Volcanoes emit smoke. Beneath a volcano lies a huge chamber filled with liquid magma. A series of earthquakes means an eruption is imminent. And if a ‘supervolcano’ like Yellowstone were to awaken, a global catastrophe would be upon us. These are images and ideas that regularly crop up in news reports, documentaries and on social media. But scientifically speaking, the reality is often far more co

Machine learning doesn’t replace human intelligence, but it can outlast human endurance, which makes it a very helpful tool for chemistry and material discovery. Scientists know the machine learning models can make predictions based on the vast reams of data it is trained on, but can it take it a step further and massively scale up testing out those predictions? “We already see that AI is powerful

The San Diego Supercomputer Center will serve as the testing ground for a new $8.48 million project that could transform how AI data centers receive and manage electricity while helping prevent them from overwhelming California's power grid.

Hydrogen gas (H₂) is widely regarded as a promising clean energy source. By weight, it stores nearly three times more energy than gasoline, and its use does not directly release carbon dioxide (CO₂). Yet most H₂ is still produced from fossil fuels through CO₂-intensive processes. Storing and transporting this energy-rich gas are also costly and technically challenging. Therefore, developing sustai
New research from UTHealth Houston found firefighters experience measurable biological changes in their blood and urine within 24 hours of fighting a fire–changes that may help identify early cancer risk, the leading cause of death among firefighters.
