Computer scientist tracks satellites with automated observatory built from off-the-shelf technology

Allen Schnibben's interest in space started when he was a child. "I picked up some books about the solar system when I was in elementary school. In middle school, I got a telescope and I started observing the night sky as ...

Nearly 10,000 mapped reactions reveal overlooked steps in CO₂-to-fuel conversion

Scientists are increasingly exploring carbon dioxide (CO₂) hydrogenation—where CO₂ reacts with hydrogen over a catalyst to produce products like methanol—to convert CO₂ into useful chemicals and fuels. However, it involves ...

Flexible protein gate controls access to mitochondrial folds, simulations suggest

Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, mitochondria in our cells churn out energy from the food we eat, which keeps our bodies functioning. Much of this work happens along cristae—deep pockets in the mitochondria's inner ...
