Long touted as a renewable fuel emitting 20 percent fewer greenhouse gasses than gasoline, ethanols’ emissions may be 24 percent higher. If verified, one expert said the finding shows ethanol failed spectacularly. By Georgina Gustin Ethanol made from corn grown across millions of acres of American farmland has become the country’s premier renewable fuel, touted as a low-carbon alternative to traditional gasoline and a key component of the country’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

Quantum computers are often touted as the solution to all our problems. They are expected to cure disease , alleviate world hunger and even help mitigate the effects of climate change. Fuelled by this enthusiasm, a number of quantum computing firms have started joining established markets. However, despite this interest, there is still a lot of uncertainty around the near-term uses of quantum computers.

A new cryogenic 3D printing technique could one day enable fabrication of off-the-shelf artificial muscle fibres, according to research published in Advanced Materials. Printing synthetic tissue that mimics the structure of muscle remains a major challenge in tissue engineering. Muscle fibres are anisotropic, meaning that their physical properties, including the ability to transmit mechanical forces, are direction dependent.

Researchers in China have found strong evidence of ultracold triatomic molecules forming within a mixture of ultracold atoms and diatomic molecules. The result, if confirmed, would provide an ideal pathway to studying chemical reactions on an atomic scale, and could even allow physicists to perform quantum-mechanical simulations of the notoriously difficult three-body problem.

The global average sea level is rising 2 inches per decade and speeding up, but in some regions, the rate is more than twice that fast. By Bob Berwyn SAN AGUSTINILLO, Mexico—As the rising ocean encroaches on the small spit of sand connecting San Agustinillo’s beaches to the rocky headland along Mexico’s southern coast, local fishermen say it’s getting harder to find a place to beach their outboard-powered skiffs after catching snapper, tuna and dorado in the warm Pacific waters.

As the size of electronic devices goes down to a few nanometres, interfaces become increasingly relevant and often dominate and interfere with a device’s performance. Hybrid devices are a particularly good example, because they rely on interfacing materials with different physical properties to control superconductivity, spin or other carrier characteristics in the active parts of the device.
