The American Chemical Society has made public a recent study by Kuwaiti scientists in the journal Energy & Fuels that predicts world conventional crude oil production will peak in 2014. This is about 10 years earlier than other forecasts, particularly the Hubbert model, which accurately predicted peak production in the U.S. in 1970.

To meet the challenge of interpreting cell image data, a team of researchers developed a novel computational model to identify genetic interactions using high-dimensional morphological data. Integrating very basic prerequisite knowledge of a pathway, their model maps potential interactions within a network by looking for similar morphological features upon genetic perturbation.

NIST is looking for university teams to automate and improve on one of the common warehouse tasks: pallet-stacking. Using a cheap computer gaming engine, participants will have to develop computer code to deal with a complexity of modern warehousing called mixed palletizing, which is efficient for transporting good, but is tough to automate.

Painting the roofs of buildings white has the potential to significantly cool cities and mitigate some impacts of global warming, a new study indicates. The new NCAR-led research suggests there may be merit to an idea advanced by U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu that white roofs can be an important tool to help society adjust to climate change.

The INCITE program is designed to distribute valuable time on America’s most powerful computers to worthy projects. This week, Secretary Chu announced the 69 projects to be awarded 1.6 billion supercomputing processor hours. This research includes lithium air batteries, fusion energy, nuclear power, combustion, DNA sequencing and nanostructure superconductors.

Could a brutal wintry blast rock the Golden State? In the wake of a recent weeklong storm siege some researchers think so, and have put their computer models to work creating the ideal conditions that could unleash as much as 8 feet of rain over three weeks—reminiscent of the extreme floods of 1861-62.

Engineering companies are increasingly leveraging the power of 3D and finite-element modeling. Terrafugia, an aeronautical startup by a group of MIT aeronautical engineers and business grads, recently partnered with design software maker Dassault Systemes to help refine the Transition Roadable Aircraft, an airplane that takes advantage of new FAA rules.

With the passage of a molecule through the labyrinth of a chemical system being so critical to catalysis and other important chemical processes, computer simulations are frequently used to model potential molecule/labyrinth interactions. In the past, such simulations have been expensive and time-consuming to carry out, but now researchers with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed a new algorithm that should make future simulations easier and faster to compute, and yield much more accurate results.
