Stoddart won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2016 and has received more than 73 global awards and metals....
Small modular reactors (SMRs) are disrupting conventional notions surrounding nuclear power. Smaller, more compact, and producing minimal emissions, this innovative alternative to traditional nuclear power is receiving more public and private sector attention as governments scramble to meet global energy needs reliably and responsibly.
From the invention of the telegraph to the historic Apollo 11 moon landing, the United States has long been a leader in scientific and technological innovation. Maintaining this leadership is not just for bragging rights but also for ensuring national security and that of our allies.
The Property and Environment Research Center (PERC) has launched the Virtual Fence Conservation Fund, a quarter-million-dollar initiative. The fund would provide grants to incentivize ranchers and landowners to adopt virtual fencing.

In contrast to pesticides, which take a generalized approach to pest control, ThermoSeed’s technology is individually tailored to each seed batch. This is because different seed types require specific combinations of environmental conditions (e.g., humidity, temperature, and time) to achieve optimal health.
The event hosted by C3 Solutions underscored the importance of streamlining permitting processes, reducing bureaucratic red tape, and unlocking domestic resources.
