Researchers have published a comprehensive review of configuration and parameter design for electrified propulsion systems in three-dimensional transportation, or TDT, covering air, ground, and sea applications. The review reorganizes the design space for electrified propulsion and proposes six design stages to guide future research on propulsion configuration, sizing, screening, and co-optimization.

Scientists warn that over the next 50 years, global warming caused by the emission of greenhouse gases will accelerate to a pace that is 5,000 times faster than rice has ever had to contend with at any time during its evolutionary history.

The University of Rhode Island’s Camilo Villouta has been awarded a USDA grant to study hydroponic spinach cultivation in controlled-environment agriculture. Indoor vertical farms have become prominent due to their ability to maximize space usage and maintain precise control over environmental variables. This is Villouta’s first time receiving an award from USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture and his first award of this size.

ORNL researcher David Cullen has been named a Fellow of the Microscopy Society of America for significant contributions to microscopy. His work advances electron microscopy techniques that reveal materials and catalysts at the nanoscale, helping speed progress in energy-related and other technology research.

A research paper by scientists at Gongli Hospital of Pudong New Area presented developed a sonodynamic nanoplatform that simultaneously eradicates primary breast tumors via ferroptosis and apoptosis and blocks their spread to bone tissues.

The research paper, published on Mar 23, 2026 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems.

Nearly three dozen of Binghamton University’s graduate programs are positioned prominently in the 2026 U.S. News & World Report’s Best Graduate Schools rankings.
