AMETEK launches the Grabner Vision Pro Series, enhancing fuel analysis with a modern interface, improved performance, and greater laboratory efficiency.
Wiley, a global leader in authoritative content and research intelligence, today announced the launch of its spectral analysis application programming interface (API) portfolio, providing users with a new, faster way to access its trusted spectral data, analytical algorithms, and predictive models–within their own workflows.
Researchers developed a multi-phase machine-learning framework to rapidly predict electronic band gaps and screen oxide perovskites for potential photovoltaic applications. Starting from more than half a million candidate structures, the approach progressively narrowed the search to a small group of band-gap-compatible compositions that now require higher-level computational and experimental validation.

Western Australia increased hard-rock lithium production tenfold between 2010 and 2024, supplying 37% of global lithium production as major projects combined large resources, rapid development, financing, and established mining infrastructure. The study found that project quality, scale, market conditions, and regional capability shaped commercial performance, while domestic lithium hydroxide refining continued to face substantial technical and economic challenges.

In partnership with A.J. Tuck Company, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed a new manufacturing approach that could simplify production of critical components for advanced nuclear reactors and other energy and defense applications.
A new purple cooling fabric developed by Chinese and Australian researchers could help people stay cooler during scorching summer days without having to resort to wearing white.
Nathalie Blanchard and Anne-Sophie Poulin-Girard's SPIE honors highlight ABB's leadership in optical technology and their role in inspiring the next generation.
A computational preprint screened nearly 92 million compositionally complex materials to determine how elemental mixing alters neutron transport in fusion shielding. The study identified two proposed neutronic cocktail effects involving scattering, absorption, and atomic density that could guide lower-cost, more resource-efficient nuclear materials.

Chain Reaction Innovations (CRI), the entrepreneurship program at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, was founded in 2016 to help startups grow.
The Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge and Idaho national laboratories announced a collaboration to expand the domestic supply chain of industrial pressure vessels.
Biomanufacturing uses biological systems to produce chemicals or materials. For example, scientists use microbes' ability to ferment alcohol to develop bio-based fuels. In advanced aviation fuels, new formulas could have better performance and efficiency than current ones.
CRAIC Technologies, a global innovator in UV-Visible-NIR microspectroscopy, today announced new technology updates to its 508PV™ Microscope Spectrophotometer, expanding its capabilities for researchers in the life sciences.
Forge Nano Breaks Ground on a major expansion of its lithium-ion battery manufacturing facility in Morrisville, North Carolina, as part of its U.S. battery manufacturing platform and in partnership with Samsung SDI.
A decades-long collaboration between two Department of Energy Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists is reshaping how we understand learning.
Researchers developed isosorbide-based plasticizers that made brittle poly(isosorbide carbonate) more flexible while preserving its ability to undergo ammonolysis after use. The resulting degradation products supported plant growth, including in an edible vegetable, highlighting a new way to design plastics with a useful end-of-life function.
