For decades, scientists have tried to harness the unique properties of carbon nanotubes to create high-performance electronics that are faster or consume less power — resulting in longer battery life, faster wireless communication and faster processing speeds for devices like smartphones and lapt

It’s been a monumental year for energy law at the U.S. Supreme Court. With two recent Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) decisions, the Court has told us more about important jurisdictional questions than it has in over a decade.

Ian Coxhead, University of Wisconsin–Madison professor and chair of the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics, will serve as interim director of the Wisconsin Energy Institute (WEI) for a 12-month period from August 2016.

Just days after shepherding their science students out of the classroom and into the less structured days of summer, Cherrie Anne Maner and Lisa Sorlie were already traveling to the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus to hone their research skills and begin work on new lesson plans for next ye

It’s easy to root for Greg Desjarlais, a recent participant in the Research Experience for Undergraduates program offered by the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC) at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He’s unassuming and easy to talk to.

Using a unique combination of advanced computational methods, University of Wisconsin–Madison chemical engineers have demystified some of the complex catalytic chemistry in fuel cells — an advance that brings cost-effective fuel cells closer to reality.

NASA’s Health and Air Quality Applied Sciences Team this past week tapped Tracey Holloway, a professor in the University of Wisconsin—Madison’s Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies, to lead the multi-institutional effort to help make environmental satellite data more accessible and useful.<
