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 featured in 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 research finds 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."

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.

mRNA Flu Vaccine for Better Protection
Research Scientist Tae-Geun Yu is co-first author, and Professor Jiwon Lee is co-corresponding author of "mRNA-based influenza vaccine expands the B cell response breadth in humans" published in Nature Immunology. A collaboration with WashU Medicine, the study found that Moderna's mRNA flu vaccine—currently under review by FDA—triggers an immune response against a wide array of flu strains, potentially offering stronger and longer-lasting protection.
