Plasma many times hotter than the sun's surface swirls inside a large metallic device designed to replicate the power source of stars: fusion. While the exterior resembles a metal ring surrounded by scaffolding, inside lies the cutting-edge technology aiming to achieve controlled fusion. Researchers supported by the Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Science are making strides toward improvi

Chinese cities, accounting for approximately 85% of the nation's carbon emissions, face a pressing need for innovative solutions to reduce urban CO2 levels. Conventional emission reduction measures alone fall short of addressing the challenge given China's rapid economic growth. Urban greening, including roof greening, presents a promising strategy to establish carbon sinks within densely popula

A team of scientists has created a new shape-changing polymer that could transform how future soft materials are constructed. Made using a material called a liquid crystalline elastomer (LCE), a soft rubber-like material that can be stimulated by external forces like light or heat, the polymer is so versatile that it can move in several directions.
Its behavior, which resembles the movemen

Microplastics are an environmental hazard found nearly everywhere on Earth, released by the breakdown of tires, clothing, and plastic packaging. Another significant source of microplastics is tiny beads that are added to some cleansers, cosmetics, and other beauty products.
In an effort to cut off some of these microplastics at their source, MIT researchers have developed a class of biodeg

While machine learning often conjures up images of algorithms and digital systems, researchers are demonstrating that the potential for learning extends far beyond the digital realm. A team at the University of Michigan (U-M) has developed a mathematical framework showing how physical materials can "learn" and perform computational tasks without electronic or human intervention.
