27-May-2026 Chinese Academy of Sciences study uncovers hidden drivers of haze pollution Editorial Office of Journal of Environmental Sciences Nitrous acid (HONO) is a key precursor to atmospheric hydroxyl radicals that drive formation of secondary pollutants such as ozone, secondary organic aerosols (SOA), and peroxyacetyl nitrates (PAN). A new study uses WRF-Chem modeling and field observations across China to assess how HONO sources influence pollution. Results show that aerosol-related sources, especially nitrate photolysis, have a disproportionately strong effect on SOA and PAN formation despite smaller surface HONO contributions, highlighting critical role in haze chemistry.

27-May-2026 How soccer builds lifelong motor skills University of Texas at Arlington As the FIFA World Cup drives excitement for soccer, researchers at The University of Texas at Arlington say the global spotlight highlights a critical issue: developing the motor skills children will rely on throughout life.
27-May-2026 ETRI develops digital twin-based software for wearable robot evaluation National Research Council of Science & Technology Korean researchers have succeeded in developing a technology that can verify performance and usability of wearable robots during the development process without requiring a person to physically wear the device. The technology developed this time is a wearable robot evaluation technology based on a “digital human-device twin,” and it is expected to dramatically transform the paradigm of wearable robot development in the future.

27-May-2026 New study explores energy and resource impacts of quantum computing University of Tennessee at Knoxville As quantum computing nears large-scale use, new research led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientist David McCollum (also with University of Tennessee, Knoxville’s Baker School) estimates the future electricity, water, and material needs of fault-tolerant quantum systems. The studies highlight feasible but potentially significant power demand and possible constraints from water and scarce helium-3. Journal Renewable and Sustainable Energy Transition
26-May-2026 Using AI to advance brain therapeutics Texas A&M University What if the body had a shuttle service to deliver medication directly to the brain? One research team believes they might have a way to make it a reality. Peter Davies, MD, PhD, deputy director at the Texas A&M Health Institute of Biosciences and Technology, and his colleagues have been awarded a Dementia and Alzheimer’s Initiative (DARI) seedling grant from Texas A&M Health for their proposal to deliver medication past the blood-brain barrier, a persistent obstacle in neuroscience.
26-May-2026 Ebola explainer with expert Dr. Steven Bradfute University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center The University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center Newsroom recently asked infectious disease expert Steven Bradfute, PhD, about Ebola viruses and the current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda.
26-May-2026 CO2 scrubbing microbes discovered in underground laboratory South Dakota Science and Technology Authority Microbes found deep below the earth at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF), a former gold mine in South Dakota, are being used to engineer enzymes that can pull CO2 gas directly from coal-fired power plant emissions. The patent-pending technology could help reduce the carbon in the atmosphere.
