Mark Harmon crouches low next to log number 219: a moss-covered western hemlock tree trunk, five meters long, lying dead on the ground in the lush green woods. It’s marked by a thin aluminum tag. The ...

Mastering decomposition—the skill of breaking down complexity into manageable chunks—can help if you're easily overwhelmed by anxiety, procrastinate, have difficulty concentrating due to depression, ...

An analysis of leaf litter breakdown in climatically diverse habitats shows that decomposition by larger invertebrates dominates in hot, dry regions and warmer seasons. Researchers have shown that ...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory used a Porsche Taycan for the test, designing the most lightweight charging system in the world per kilowatt. Inductive charging has shown promise in the past, but in the ...

While EV charging isn’t that tedious with a cable, for quick trips, being able to just park and have your car automatically charge would be more convenient. Researchers from Oak Ridge National Lab ...
