The first working graphene semiconductor outperformed silicon, suggesting that the supermaterial could be the future of electronics.
On Jan. 2, a 27-foot sailboat sank off the southern coast of Alameda in stormy weather. Rescue crews saved the man on board, but the ship landed beside a long rock wall jutting from the island.

The research-based map is the first to display an updated, comprehensive National Seismic Hazard Model for all 50 states.
Nearly 75 percent of the U.S. could experience damaging earthquake shaking, according to a recent U.S. Geological Survey-led team of 50+ scientists and engineers.
This was one of several key findings from the latest USGS National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM). The model was used to create a color-coded map that pinpoints where damaging earthquakes are most likely to occur based on insights from seismic studies, historical geologic data, and the latest data-collection technologies.
Dangerously cold temperatures lingered over large swaths of the country for several days in mid-January 2024.
A large mass of Arctic air spilled south from Canada and lingered for several days over much of the contiguous United States in mid-January 2024. The system brought a wintry mix of bitterly cold temperatures, freezing rain, and snow that extended from the Pacific Northwest all the way to the East Coast.
As the airmass came south, sub-zero air temperatures settled over Montana and the Dakotas on January 13 and 14. Air temperatures at a National Weather Service station in Billings, Montana, reached-30 degrees Fahrenheit (−34 degrees Celsius) on January 13, the lowest temperature recorded there since the site was established in 1999.
The investment arm of the group is involved in the construction of a 3,100 MW wind energy farm and a hydrogen production project in Sweden.
Hydrogen production generates oxygen as a byproduct which can be used in oceans to improve marine ecosystems.
URI-led team pioneers deep-sea research, revolutionizing species discovery with rapid tissue capture and 3D imaging technologies.
Dive into the future of deep-sea discovery! URI team, led by Prof. Phillips, unveils cutting-edge tech for instant species identification.
