With its highways and suburbs, modern America was built around the automobile and powered by fossil fuels. The oil crises of the 1970s provided an opportunity to change course and move to renewable energy, but any momentum achieved then proved to be very short-lived. Read more on E360 ?.

Scientists in China have released a new geologic map of the Moon that is the most detailed yet. Created by a team led by the Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences , the image was made using data from China’s suite of Chang’e lunar exploration missions as well as information from other international organizations. The map is to a scale of 1:2500000 and includes 12,341 impact craters, 81 impact basins, 17 rock types and 14 types of structures.

By Tayyibah Aziz, science writer. Image: Jenson/Shutterstock.com. A novel green recovery investment scenario has shown that a 1% global GDP investment could reduce global CO2 emissions by 6 to 8.5% by 2030. The researchers demonstrated that even a temporary stimulus package could potentially achieve a long-lasting reduction of CO2 emissions from energy production and industrial processes.

The history of modern science is full of talented women whose research achievements have in some way been overlooked. One obvious example is Rosalind Franklin, whose meticulous X-ray analysis of DNA strands has generally been sidelined in the story of Francis Crick’s and James Watson’s elucidation of the molecule’s structure. Another is Jocelyn Bell Burnell, who many people believe should have shared the 1974 Nobel Prize for Physics for her observations and insights that reveal

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.

When a CT scan highlights a suspicious looking nodule, the next step is to perform a biopsy to rule out malignancy. Current medical technologies, however, cannot provide real-time diagnostic information during biopsy. Instead, samples are sent away for histopathologic analysis, which can take several days. And some nodules may be too small to remove for further testing, leading to uncertainty and patient anxiety, as well as increased costs for further procedures and radiographic surveillance.
