Archivists in collecting and organizing books and documents. They were skilled in collecting and organizing books and documents. Their work has left its own archival trail that peiss and other scholars can now follow. Peiss herself has sifted through the state Department Records here at the National Archives in college park and the Herbert Hoover president ial library in iowa. Researchers today pursue their missions in Research Rooms and online relying on the skills of , archives and library pro...

Several architects and designers have made it onto the Time100 Climate list of people making "measurable, scalable" progress in fighting climate change.

Researchers have applied artificial photosynthesis as the basis for developing new sustainable processes.

To mark Earth Day, we round up 12 Dezeen interviews with leading voices in sustainable design and architecture including Norman Foster and Stella McCartney.

A recent event celebrated faculty who had earned promotion and/or the grant of tenure, were appointed to named and endowed professorships or had earned membership in the National Academies or the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

The dark-field X-ray technology has been implemented into a CT scanner appropriate for clinical usage for the first time by a team of researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Dark-field imaging adds to the information offered by conventional X-ray imaging. It is now feasible to create 3D dark-field X-ray images using the new prototype.

For the first time, a team of researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has integrated the dark-field X-ray method into a CT scanner

Date Time Post-quantum chip with hardware trojans A team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has designed and commissioned the production of a computer chip that implements post-quantum cryptography very efficiently. Such chips could provide protection against future hacker attacks using quantum computers. The researchers also incorporated hardware trojans in the chip in order to study methods for detecting this type of “malware from the chip factory”. Hacker attacks on industrial ...
