Researchers at ORNL and Vanderbilt University discovered a new ligand that can efficiently separate rare-earth metals, promising a cleaner and less wasteful process.

Aurora Innovation is expanding its autonomous trucking route from Fort Worth to Phoenix, aiming to begin commercial trips in 2025 and transition to fully driverless later that year.

Drones are being introduced in Texas law enforcement to address rapid response challenges, despite concerns over privacy and warrantless surveillance. Montgomery County and Bee Cave are testing programs that utilize drones as first responders.

MIT physicists have observed ultracold atoms emulating an "edge state," which could inform future materials for lossless electricity flow. This research advances our understanding of quantum mechanics.

ORNL researchers have developed a more energy-efficient method for processing nanocellulose, reducing energy usage by 21%, leveraging molecular simulations on their advanced supercomputers.

ORNL leads a $15 million DOE project to produce large metal components for clean energy using additive manufacturing, reducing production time and enhancing US manufacturing capabilities.

Scientists at ORNL are studying fungal cell membranes to develop new antifungal treatments amid rising infection rates and deaths. They focus on ergosterol to understand its unique properties compared to cholesterol.

The Texas Advanced Computer Center partners with Sabey Data Centers to bring the "Horizon" supercomputer to Round Rock, with NSF funding $457 million for the project set to launch in 2026.

The Boeing Starliner is scheduled to return to Earth from the ISS, after propulsion issues delayed its departure. The uncrewed spacecraft will undock, perform a deorbit burn, and land in New Mexico.

MIT researchers have developed a new water filtration material that removes PFAS and heavy metals. Made from silk and cellulose, it has antimicrobial properties and could address widespread contamination issues highlighted by a recent study.

A mysterious white balloon seen over Northern Colorado has been confirmed as a NASA research instrument for measuring solar radiation in the stratosphere.

TxDOT integrates robots like TyBOT, Spot, and WALL-E for safer, efficient construction and inspections, enhancing work conditions and reducing worker strain.

Bryan Maldonado of ORNL has developed a fast-track strategy for improving energy efficiency in building envelopes, focusing on pre-1980 structures. His approach could reduce the retrofit process time by a factor of five.
