27-May-2026 New study explores energy and resource impacts of quantum computing University of Tennessee at Knoxville As quantum computing nears large-scale use, new research led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientist David McCollum (also with University of Tennessee, Knoxville’s Baker School) estimates the future electricity, water, and material needs of fault-tolerant quantum systems. The studies highlight feasible but potentially significant power demand and possible constraints from water and scarce helium-3. Journal Renewable and Sustainable Energy Transition
27-May-2026 Seatrium deepens support for NUS CDE Professorship to drive offshore and energy innovation National University of Singapore College of Design and Engineering Renewed commitment will advance research, talent development and industry collaboration in offshore infrastructure, sustainability and emerging engineering solutions.
26-May-2026 Using AI to advance brain therapeutics Texas A&M University What if the body had a shuttle service to deliver medication directly to the brain? One research team believes they might have a way to make it a reality. Peter Davies, MD, PhD, deputy director at the Texas A&M Health Institute of Biosciences and Technology, and his colleagues have been awarded a Dementia and Alzheimer’s Initiative (DARI) seedling grant from Texas A&M Health for their proposal to deliver medication past the blood-brain barrier, a persistent obstacle in neuroscience.
26-May-2026 Ebola explainer with expert Dr. Steven Bradfute University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center The University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center Newsroom recently asked infectious disease expert Steven Bradfute, PhD, about Ebola viruses and the current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda.
26-May-2026 CO2 scrubbing microbes discovered in underground laboratory South Dakota Science and Technology Authority Microbes found deep below the earth at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF), a former gold mine in South Dakota, are being used to engineer enzymes that can pull CO2 gas directly from coal-fired power plant emissions. The patent-pending technology could help reduce the carbon in the atmosphere.
