Trump Keeps Greenlighting Requests to Push Data Centers Off the Grid
Professor Junbo Zhao discusses how the rapid growth of data centers is straining the nation's electric grid during periods of peak demand. Zhao says greater coordination between data centers and grid operators, along with new generation and grid technologies, will be needed to maintain reliability.

Europa's hidden ocean may be harder to reach than scientists thought
Professor Jacob Buffo is mentioned as being part of a study challenging the idea that water from Europa's subsurface ocean can travel through cracks in the moon's ice shell to the surface. Simulations suggest turbulent flow would cause the water to freeze before reaching the surface, making the ocean more difficult to access than previously thought.

Europa Ice Cracks Freeze Shut in Hours, Complicating Clipper Science Plan
Professor Jacob Buffo is mentioned as a collaborator on research finding that cracks in Jupiter's moon Europa freeze shut within hours, making it much harder for water to reach the surface than previously thought. The findings cast doubt on the scientific basis of NASA's Europa Clipper mission, which is en route to Jupiter and scheduled to arrive in 2030.

Is this e-reader case a gun?
Professor Sol Diamond is quoted in an article about why mandating gun-blocking software is an unwinnable task. "Basing blocking tech on visual resemblance is where the false positive concerns arise because a prop and a real functional firearm resemble one another," Diamond told The Verge. "The technical challenge here is that depending on training data and algorithms used, setting decision thresholds that have acceptably low false positive rates might have unacceptably high false negative rates and vice versa. Visual resemblance might be fooled by [the] gun-shaped e-reader case ... Geometric Identification would not be fooled by your gun-shaped e-reader case."

Mobility-Ductility Tradeoff
PhD student Sam Ong won runner-up for the Best Student Paper Award at the IEEE International Conference on Flexible Printable Sensors and Systems in Atlanta. Ong's paper, co-authored with Professor Will Scheideler and former postdoc Minh Nhut Le, was titled "Breaking the Mobility-Ductility Tradeoff in Liquid-Metal-Printed ITO Flexible TFTs." Said Ong, "I was very excited to present my work at IEEE FLEPS and showcase our research to the flexible device community. I believe that there is a lot of potential collaboration within this space, and highlighting the compatibility of our high-performance materials in flexible electronics garnered a lot of interest and excitement."

Glaciological Collaboration
Research Scientist and Lecturer Aleah Sommers and PhD candidate Anna Valentine, along with Derek Pickell and Mathieu Morlighem from the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, traveled to Ladakh, India, to study thickness and dynamics of Himalayan glaciers with researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. They also participated in the Indian Glaciological Summer School, a two-week intensive course in Leh, Ladakh, with students from all over India. "Building any international collaboration takes time and trust. The friendships, the challenges, and the science that will come out of combining our areas of expertise are remarkably worthwhile," said Sommers.

Strengthening Science and Connections in Greenland
Research Scientist and Lecturer Aleah Sommers co-organized and taught at the Greenland Ice Sheet Ocean (GRISO) Science Summer School, held in Nuuk, Greenland. The two-week intensive course brought together PhD students and postdocs from around the world to connect with and learn from Greenland-based scientists and local Greenlandic organizations. "After teaching at the GRISO Summer School, I feel inspired about connecting glacier hydrology to the downstream impacts on lakes, fjords, ecology, and communities, and exploring how to connect physical process modeling with community interests and local research priorities," said Sommers.
