ESnet Staff to Share Views, Expertise at International Networking Conference
Twice a year, networking staff from ESnet and Internet2 host an international meeting known as the Joint Techs Meeting, but about once every five years, they combine the meeting with the Asia Pacific Advanced Network's (APAN) meeting. The combined meeting, called TIP2013, will be held Jan. 13-18 in Honolulu and is hosted by the University of Hawaii.By bringing these meetings together into one location approximately every five years, TIP2013 encourages greater global dialogue, facilitates… Read More »
Can We Accurately Model Fluid Flow in Shale?
Over 20 trillion cubic meters of natural gas, a third of the United States’ total reserves, are thought to be trapped in shale, but producers still rely on models developed years ago. Read More »

Novel Tools and a Pharmaceutical Screening Strategy to Capture CO²
Today, crystalline porous materials, like zeolites and metal organic frameworks (MOFs), are widely used in industry to purify water and separate gases, among other things. But scientists believe that these structures have the potential to do a lot more—like capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the flue-gas emissions of coal-burning power plants before it reaches the atmosphere and contributes to global warming. Until recently, one of the major challenges to using these materials for CO2… Read More »
