 Plant PhysiologyComputational model IDs potential pathways to improve plant oil production Using a computational model they designed to incorporate detailed information about plants' interconnected metabolic processes, scientists at the US Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have identified key pathways that appear to "favor" the production of either oils or proteins. The research, now published online in Plant Physiology, may point the way to new strategies to tip the balance and increase plant oil production.

Grant-winning PPPL scientists lead fusion to the edge A center based at the US Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory has won a highly competitive $12.25 million grant to develop computer codes to simulate a key component of the plasma that fuels fusion energy. The five-year DOE award could produce software that helps researchers design and operate facilities to create fusion as a clean and abundant source of energy for generating electricity.

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesAdaptable button mushroom serves up genes critical to managing the planet's carbon stores The button mushroom occupies a prominent place in our diet; in nature, Agaricus bisporus decays leaf matter on the forest floor. An international collaboration led by the French institute INRA and the US Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute has determined the full repertoire of A. bisporus genes. Their report shows the metabolic strategies of Agaricus might not be present in white-rot and brown-rot fungi and suggests implications for forest carbon management.

Nature PhysicsLawrence livermore experiments illuminate how order arises in the cosmos One of the unsolved mysteries of contemporary science is how highly organized structures can emerge from the random motion of particles. This applies to many situations ranging from astrophysical objects that extend over millions of light years to the birth of life on Earth. Contact: Breanna V. Bishop

SIAM Journal on Applied MathematicsToward an artificial pancreas: Math modeling and diabetes control In a paper published today in the SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, authors Mingzhan Huang, Jiaxu Li, Xinyu Song, and Hongjian Guo propose novel mathematical models for injection of insulin in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The models simulate injections of insulin in the manner of insulin pumps, which deliver periodic impulses in diabetes patients.

New sophisticated control algorithms poised to revolutionize electric battery technology Engineers at the University of California, San Diego, have developed sophisticated estimation algorithms that allow lithium-ion batteries to run more efficiently, potentially reducing their cost by 25 percent and allowing the batteries to charge twice as fast as is currently possible. In one instance, electric batteries could be charged in just 15 minutes. The researchers at the Jacobs School of Engineering are sharing a $9.6 million grant from the Department of Energy.

Nature Climate ChangeClimate change cripples forests Combine the tree-ring growth record with historic information, climate records and projections of future climate trends, and you get a grim picture for the future of trees in the southwestern United States. That's the word from a team of scientists from Los Alamos National Laboratory, the US Geological Survey, University of Arizona, and others. In the warmer and drier Southwest of the near future, widespread tree mortality will cause forest and species distributions to change substantially.
