UrduA trip to the deep floor of the ocean is somewhat akin to going to the moon. Like the landers on the moon, a benthic lander can make it happen, just a little closer to home.At the University of Rhode Island, a fleet of these observational systems is now taking shape, all being built at the University’s Narragansett Bay Campus, in preparation for their journey nearly two miles deep.

COVID-19 pandemic perceived as less serious than other health problems
A large seven-country study has shed light on how serious people find the COVID-19 pandemic compared to other major public health problems. The results were surprising and provide guidance to healthcare providers as well as policymakers.
American nuclear power plants are among the most secure in the world — what if they could be less expensive, too?
Argonne collaborates with Purdue University on new research aimed at lowering the cost of developing small nuclear reactors.
Researchers Discover Why One Type of Chemotherapy Works Best in Bladder Cancer
Tisch Cancer Institute researchers discovered that a certain type of chemotherapy improves the immune system’s ability to fight off bladder cancer, particularly when combined with immunotherapy, according to a study published in Cell Reports Medicine in January.
Emergency contraception related ER visits dropped significantly over 14 year period
Following federal approval for over the counter emergency contraception in 2006, emergency departments across the U.S. saw dramatic decreases in related visits and medical charges, a new study suggests.
Cultivated Meat Production Costs Could Fall Significantly with New Cells Created at Tufts University
In an advance for cultivated meat technology, researchers have developed bovine muscle stem cells that produce their own growth factors, eliminating the need to add the expensive ingredient in the growth media.
Glacier melting destroys important climate data archive
As part of the Ice Memory initiative, researchers analysed ice cores drilled in 2018 and 2020 from the Corbassière glacier at Grand Combin in the canton of Valais. A comparison of the two sets of ice cores published in Nature Geoscience shows: Global warming has made at least this glacier unusable as a climate archive.
Brain drain – nasopharyngeal lymphatics found to be crucial for cerebrospinal fluid outflow
‘Lymphatic plexus’ behind the nose drains cerebrospinal fluid from the brain, potentially impacting neurodegenerative conditions.
DOE Contributors to the Fifth National Climate Assessment Share Their Stories
Office of Science Director Berhe and national laboratory scientists discuss what the NCA5 is and its importance.
SNO+ Reveals the Power of Neutrinos
While the SNO+ experiment is focused on particle physics, it has also revealed insights into using neutrinos for nuclear non-proliferation.
Islands That Move Together, Disrupt Together
Small rotating magnetic islands in tokamaks flowing at the same speed can couple together to cause disruptive islands that reduce plasma confinement.
Long-Lived State in Radioactive Sodium Discovered at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams
A newly discovered excited state in radioactive sodium-32 has an unusually long lifetime, and its shape dynamics could be the cause.
Unlocking the Secrets of the Universe through Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay
Scientists investigate neutrinoless double beta decay through neutrino mass and the nuclear structure of germanium-76.
Supercomputers Shine New Light on Ocean Turbulence
A new, more precise model of turbulence is helping scientists better understand how heat moves through the ocean.
Seeing the Shape of Atomic Nuclei
New theoretical work indicates that the future Electron Ion Collider can be used to measure the shape of atomic nuclei.
Discovery of Low-lying Isomeric States in Cesium-136 Has Applications in Particle Astrophysics
Measurements of the nuclear structure of cesium-136 open a new channel for measurements of astrophysical neutrinos and searches for dark matter.
Joshua Zide: Then and Now / 2012 Early Career Award Winner
A new approach to materials by Joshua Zide and his team turns semiconductors into nanocomposites with different properties and new applications.
Snow-Capped Mountains at Risk from Climate Change
Snowpack in mountains acts as water storage for downstream communities. They could face low-to-no snow winters under certain emissions scenarios.
