Scientists said the James River has lost significant portions of its ecosystem in recent years, and 4,400 gallons of jet fuel doesn’t help conservation efforts.

Most cars have one to two catalytic converters, but the total can range from one to four or more, depending on the engine size, vehicle design, and emissions standards. While smaller or older ...

Wherever hydrogen is present, safety sensors are required to detect leaks and prevent the formation of flammable oxyhydrogen gas when hydrogen is mixed with air. It is therefore a challenge that today ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are helping to pave a path for the eventual discovery of dark matter. With new approaches to measurement in the quantum realm, ...
