At 1:00 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, Sept. 23, NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security – Apophis Explorer) spacecraft flew within 2,136 miles (3,438 kilometers) of Earth. During approach and as OSIRIS-APEX passed Earth, it looked home, capturing images and data of our home planet to help calibrateContinue Reading
Billionaire Zygi Wilf’s proposed development of 496 apartments on the Second Watchung Ridge pits state housing mandates against environmental concerns over flooding, water quality and wildlife habitat. By Ryan Krugman When Roy Oser moved into his North Jersey condo in 2018, he thought he was buying into a quiet retirement:Continue Reading
Ribosomes don’t just make proteins—they can sense when something’s wrong. When they collide, they send out stress signals that activate a molecule called ZAK. Researchers uncovered how ZAK recognizes these collisions and turns them into protective responses. The discovery shows how cells quickly spot trouble., Read MoreContinue Reading
At a high level, ammonia seems like a dream fuel: It’s carbon-free, energy-dense, and easier to move and store than hydrogen. Ammonia is also already manufactured and transported at scale, meaning it could transform energy systems using existing infrastructure. But burning ammonia creates dangerous nitrous oxides, and splitting ammonia moleculesContinue Reading
Railroad Commissioner Jim Wright removed himself from a vote last week on an oilfield waste company with which he has financial ties. The move highlighted the close relationship between state officials and the industry they regulate. By Martha Pskowski Jim Wright stepped out of the room last week while hisContinue Reading

There is growing attention on the links between artificial intelligence and increased energy demands. But while the power-hungry data centers being built to support AI could potentially stress electricity grids, increase customer prices and service interruptions, and generally slow the transition to clean energy, the use of artificial intelligence canContinue Reading
