Since 2010, the IceCube Observatory at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station has been delivering groundbreaking measurements of high-energy cosmic neutrinos. It consists of many detectors embedded in a volume of Antarctic ice measuring approximately one cubic kilometer. IceCube has now been upgraded with new optical modules to enable it to measure lower-energy neutrinos as well. Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) made a significant contribution to this expansion.

Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) boosts sustainability and incomes, but local factors matter. IMTA INVEST helps farmers and investors compare costs and risks before investing.

Products containing lab-made 7-OH, which is also found in small amounts in kratom, are unregulated in most states and causing concern about a "third wave" of the opioid epidemic

In a new study published in the recent premier AI conference NeurIPS, the researchers demonstrated how their AI used its abilities to design thousands of new mechanisms to trace specified geometries.

Led by college football coaching greats Mack Brown and R.C. Slocum, attendees at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center’s A Conversation With a Living Legend®  Houston united in the mission to end cancer on Feb. 3. The event raised over $1.5 million to benefit cancer research. 

ORNL researchers are advancing connected and automated vehicle systems to improve merging behavior and traffic flow. By linking real vehicles with immersive traffic simulations, the team is evaluating cooperative driving strategies to support the development of next-generation intelligent transportation systems.

Since 2010, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory has been searching for high-energy neutrinos from space. In recent years, it has already provided important insights into the nature of these particles and the sources of these high-energy neutrinos in the universe. The main array of IceCube consists of 86 sensor strings embedded in the ice at intervals of 125 meters. As part of the IceCube upgrade, six new strings were installed between December 2025 and January 2026. This added over 650 modern photodetectors and calibration devices to the existing IceCube detector. The new instruments will improve our understanding of how light emitted by neutrino interactions in the ice propagates through the detector.

In a dark corner of a mechatronics lab at the Idaho National Laboratory, researcher Ben Baker types commands on a laptop to power up the reactor.

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory are helping to enable the next generation of abundant, affordable nuclear energy by combining 80 years of know-how with the latest scientific techniques, facilities and equipment. The lab’s longstanding expertise in degradation of materials in the harsh environments of nuclear reactors make it the go-to place for a resurgence of interest in liquid metals and molten salts for both advanced fission and fusion reactors.
