Space systems’ cyber vulnerabilities represent the “soft underbelly” of the U.S. satellite infrastructure. USSF SpOC Commander, Lt. Gen. Stephen Whiting said governments such as China’s and Russia’s can attack satellites in orbit, but that cyberattacks offer a “lower bar to entry” to lesser powers, such as Iran or North Korea. In response to national security threats such as this one ...

The Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop new standardization protocols and methodology for preconcentration, preparative-scale separation, and catalytic conversion of CH4 contained in mixtures of atmospheric gases for carbon-14 (14CCH4), carbon-13 (?13CCH4), and hydrogen-2 (?2HCH4) isotopic tracing. The approach addresses challenges with safely performing gas conversion ...

Methane is one of the most potent greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, with various anthropogenic factors increasing its prevalence. Methane has 28 times greater heating capacity than carbon dioxide and its atmospheric concentration has increased roughly from 800 parts-per-billion (ppb) in the early 1900s to an alarming 1800 ppb in 2016. With approximately 3.2 million abandoned wells in the US, mit ...
