A team of researchers at Texas A&M University has created a synthetic material that will make solar energy a more cost-effective, efficient and reliable source of power.
USC researchers have developed a polio vaccine that doesn’t require refrigeration, meaning it could someday be used all over the world to deliver the final blow to this longtime foe.
Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin’s Marine Science Institute have discovered nearly two dozen new types of microbes, many of which use hydrocarbons such as methane and butane as energy sources to survive and grow—meaning the newly identified bacteria might be helping to limit the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and might one day be useful for cleaning up oil spills.
New research highlights a previously underexplored consequence of wind energy farms: a wake effect from upwind wind farms that can reduce the energy production of their downwind neighbors.
According to a new study, the brain plays back and prioritizes high-reward events for later retrieval and filters out the neutral, inconsequential events, retaining only memories that are useful to future decisions.
