An international team featuring faculty at Binghamton University, State University of New York has drilled the longest ever sediment core from under an ice sheet, providing a record stretching back millions of years that will help climate scientists forecast the fate of the ice sheet in our warming world.

Professor Jon Hathaway, a UT civil and environmental engineering professor, studies urban hydrology and how green infrastructure improves cities by reducing flooding and pollution. With a $2.6 million USFS grant, his interdisciplinary team built four low-cost gravel-tree stormwater systems in underserved Knoxville areas, pairing education, workforce training, and scalable designs.

University of Victoria researchers are shaping Canada’s quantum future

Eric Krause, a professor of neuroscience at Gergia State University and a Georgia Research Alliance distinguished investigator, studies how GLP-1 therapies affect brain pathways, weight loss and muscle mass.

After more than a decade of research by primatologists at CU Boulder and their colleagues, a major environmental organization has changed the conservation status of an unusual, and petite, species of primate that lives in southern Africa.

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have discovered an extraordinary crystal made from tantalum, tungsten, and selenium that defies expectations with its unique atomic structure. Instead of a random arrangement, the tantalum atoms organize themselves into precise triangular clusters, enhancing the crystal's stability and creating specific magnetic properties when cooled to extremely low temperatures. This unexpected behavior paves the way for advances in spintronics and quantum materials, which could revolutionize computing and data storage by harnessing the dual properties of electron charge and spin.

UC Davis researchers are using virtual reality to make eye exams easier for seniors and to investigate whether the platform can detect early brain changes linked to Alzheimer’s disease.
