Aerospace engineer recognized for lifetime of innovations
University of CincinnatiUniversity of Cincinnati Distinguished Professor Ephraim Gutmark is developing a rotating detonation engine to replace traditional combustion engines. It promises to be lighter, safer and more energy efficient since it uses hydrogen fuel instead of petroleum. And it's the kind of innovation that the National Academy of Inventors recognized when they named him a fellow this year.

Università Ca' Foscari VeneziaThe fourth Antarctic campaign of the “Beyond EPICA - Oldest Ice” project, funded by the European Commission, has achieved a historic milestone for climate science. An international team of scientists successfully drilled a 2,800-meter-long ice core, reaching the bedrock beneath the Antarctic ice sheet. These ice samples are expected to unveil, for the first time, critical details about Earth's climate and atmospheric history, extending beyond 800,000 years ago and showing a continuous record of the history of our climate as far back as 1.2 million years, and probably beyond. Coordinated by the Institute of Polar Sciences of the National Research Council of Italy (Cnr-Isp), the project aims to resolve one of climate science's most complex mysteries.
