Researchers climbed into moulins, which drain meltwater from the ice sheet, to better understand how volume relates to ice movement. Holes that carry surface meltwater to the base of the Greenland ice sheet, called moulins, are much larger than previously thought, according to a new study based on o...

NASA is targeting the final test in the Green Run series, the hot fire, for as early as January 17, 2021. The hot fire is the culmination of the Green Run test series, an eight-part test campaign that gradually brings the core stage of the Space Launch System (SLS) — the deep space rocket that [...]

A new study tracing the sources of carbon dioxide, the most significant human-generated greenhouse gas, reveals the unexpectedly large influence of vegetation in urban environments. Burning fossil fuels in densely populated regions greatly increases the level of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. T...

New research published by the open access publisher Frontiers inventories greenhouse gas emissions of 167 globally distributed cities. The study shows that just 25 mega-cities produce 52% of the greenhouse gas emissions from the studied cities. In 2015, 170 countries worldwide adopted the Paris Agre...

Greenland’s fjords harbor a unique group of polar bears that rely on glacial ice, a NASA-funded research study reported on June 16, 2022, in the journal Science. Polar bears throughout the Arctic rely on sea ice as a platform for hunting seals. As climate change warms the planet and Arctic sea ice m...

Study Suggests Extent of Future Sea Level Rise Could Be Vastly Underestimated New research has found that the grounding line of Greenland’s Petermann Glacier shifts during tidal cycles, allowing warm seawater to accelerate ice melt. This previously unknown interaction could cause a 200% increa...

Some cool ELF manipulation research projects.

Rice University’s ‘green’ invention reduces carbon dioxide into valuable fuels. A common greenhouse gas could be repurposed in an efficient and environmentally friendly way with an electrolyzer that uses renewable electricity to produce pure liquid fuels. The catalytic reactor developed by the Rice ...

A new way to convert carbon dioxide into the building block for sustainable liquid fuels was very efficient in tests and did not have the reaction that destroys the conventional device. If the idea of flying on battery-powered commercial jets makes you nervous, you can relax a little. Researchers ha...

MIT researchers find a way to eliminate carbon emissions from cement production — a major global source of greenhouse gases. It’s well known that the production of cement — the world’s leading construction material — is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for about 8 percent of al...

Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas and ozone-depleting substance. The ability to exploit this gas as a chemical reagent is an attractive prospect, both as an abundant feedstock and means to remediate the detrimental impact it has on the environment. Researchers at the University of Warwick have prepa...

Anticipating the technology and weapon systems of our future Army might not be entirely daunting, new Army research finds. Trends in the progression of weapon systems from the early crossbowman to a musket to a military tank might help predict our future systems, according to a new study to be publi...

Research Triangle Park, N.C. — A U.S. Army research result brings the quantum internet a step closer. Such an internet could offer military security, sensing, and timekeeping capabilities not possible with traditional networking approaches. The U.S. Army’s Combat Capability Development’s...

Southwest Research Institute engineers are advancing what researchers know about hypersonic flight. A new study presented at the 2019 Joint Army-Navy-NASA-Air Force (JANNAF) Propulsion Meeting describes a series of tests conducted at SwRI’s San Antonio headquarters that elucidate the conditions a fu...

In an effort to make robots more effective and versatile teammates for Soldiers in combat, Army researchers are on a mission to understand the value of the molecular living functionality of muscle, and the fundamental mechanics that would need to be replicated in order to artificially achieve the ca...
