28-May-2026 As W88 production ends, Sandia looks to next phase DOE/Sandia National Laboratories Sandia National Laboratories and the nuclear security enterprise complete production of the W88 Alteration 370.
28-May-2026 Supporting lives through psychotherapy, Dohsa-hou Kyushu University Clinical Dohsa-hou, also called Dohsa-hou, is a Japanese psychotherapy that explores the mind-body connection. Associate Professor Reika Nomura has worked as a clinical psychologist on the front lines of care both in hospitals and disaster-affected areas, where the gravity of human life is deeply felt. Motivated by her own experience of hospitalization and supporting a family member living with illness, she has demonstrated integrated engagement across clinical practice, research, and education. We interviewed her about Dohsa-hou and her hopes for the next generation of psychological professionals. She also shared her views on what it means to offer sincere support.
28-May-2026 ORNL’s tSAGE fast-tracks microbial design for high-temp manufacturing DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a platform that engineers heat-loving microbes for industrial-scale manufacturing in a matter of weeks compared with previous approaches that can take months to years. This biotechnology tool strengthens American manufacturing capacity, supporting long-term energy security and global competitiveness.

28-May-2026 Big data did not begin in Silicon Valley Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg Nowadays, data are often assumed to be a neutral basis for political decisions and for artificial intelligence. However, data do not arise on their own – they are gathered, structured, interpreted and prioritized. A new research project at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is investigating how China ruled with data long before the digital age, and the implications this has for today’s debates.
28-May-2026 Modeling the Gulf: A researcher’s quest to map every current, particle and tide Texas A&M University Understanding the dynamics of how water moves is deceptively simple in concept and endlessly complex in practice. Real-world marine environments are anything but controlled: Weather, seasons and geography change constantly. Yet understanding water movement is a critical aspect in areas of study like marine biology, coastal and environmental science and even policy around how we recover from natural disasters. Dr. Jiabi Du, assistant professor of marine and coastal environmental science at Texas A&M University at Galveston, is spearheading the comprehension of ocean circulation and dynamics by creating detailed 3D ocean models that simulate how water moves throughout Gulf environments.
27-May-2026 A story written below the skull: silver fox bones may reveal domestication's deeper reach American Association for Anatomy For decades, the story of domestication has lived in the face, a softer skull, smaller teeth, floppy ears, a curly tail. The cranium has been the easy text. But what happens further down the skeleton? In the bones that carry weight, absorb impact, and remember how an animal moves, that has been harder to read. A poster presented at Anatomy Connected 2026 in Albuquerque begins to answer that question by drawing on one of the most consequential experiments in modern biology: the Silver Fox study.

27-May-2026 Unlocking secrets of plasma turbulence in space Naval Research Laboratory U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Senior Scientist for Intense Particle Beams & Plasma Processes, Gurudas Ganguli, Ph.D., pioneered and directed an experiment that has deepened our understanding about the evolution of electromagnetic turbulence in space.
27-May-2026 ULiège and Protect Humanitarians International Chair welcomes 21 new partner organizations and universities University of Liège The International Chair on the Protection of Humanitarian Workers, led by the University of Liège and the NGO Protect Humanitarians, founded by Olivier Vandecasteele, is entering a new stage in its development. One year after its launch, the Chair announces the accession of 21 new partner organisations and universities, thereby strengthening an international network for research, expertise and action dedicated to the protection and support of humanitarian workers around the world.

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.
