Each year, scientists with the Office of Science, at our national laboratories, and supported by the Office of Science at the nation’s colleges and universities, publish thousands of research findings in the scientific literature. About 200 of these are selected annually by their respective program areas in the Office of Science as publication highlights of special note.
Global data set shows monthly water use by irrigation, manufacturing, and other uses, helping researchers to analyze water use by region and season.
Researchers link root water uptake to root traits and assess (poor) performance of common models.
Predictions of the direct impacts of greenhouse gases must account for local temperature and humidity conditions.
Surface measurements of rain drop sizes shed light on cloud processes and cloud types.
Research offers evidence that microbes and organic matter raise toxin levels, potentially helping improve mercury monitoring.
Researchers find gusty winds increase surface evaporation that drives summer rainstorms in the Tropical West Pacific.
Nutrients increasingly moving to the deep ocean with strong climate warming could lead to drastic drops in surface ocean life and fishery yields.
New method produces high-purity zirconium-89, a diagnostic radionuclide used to image cancerous tumors.
Yes. Such condensates, analogous to those in carbon-12, in heavier nuclei could change how we describe certain elements.
Scientists tame damaging edge instabilities in steady-state conditions required in a fusion reactor.
