A bacterial species closely related to deadly citrus greening disease is rapidly evolving its ability to infect insect hosts, and possibly plants as well.

Chemist Jixin Chen looked at the rapid spread of COVID-19 early in the pandemic and saw a novel opportunity for his kinetics lab, where they study the rates of reactions.

Shared micromobility programs for e-scooters and bike share are becoming more common each year. How can we make sure they aren’t just being used for fun, but they’re also being prioritized for those who need a quick, affordable and accessible way to ge…

An artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that can detect subtle brain abnormalities which cause epileptic seizures has been developed.

Engineers have investigated the cause of pore formation, a problem in CZTS thin-film solar cells, which are eco-friendly general-purpose thin-film solar cells. 

A research team has developed an eco-friendly microplastic removal technology that can remove micro-to-nano-sized microplastics from water.

A new design for solid-state hydrogen storage could significantly reduce charging times.

Rare earth metals, when linked, can act as a conduit for energy flow, and show promise for the development of novel materials.
