Bridging Two Worlds: Introducing the Software Engineering and Scientific Computing Department
Scientific discovery increasingly depends on computing and software. Yet the practices used to develop scientific software often differ markedly from those in professional software engineering. To help bridge this gap, IEEE Computing in Science & Engineering (CiSE) is merging its existing Software Engineering and Scientific Programming departments into a unified department…

Thermally controlled absorber for enhanced point-source CO2 capture: Scaling up the process intensification packing technology
This work describes a pilot-scale, thermally controlled gas–liquid absorption column designed for point-source carbon dioxide (CO₂) capture, featuring a 4-m tall, 0.3-m diameter absorber with a capacity of up to 1 t of CO₂ per day. Flue-gas conditions are simulated using a natural gas-fired power generation engine. A key advancement is the integration of a 3D-printed proce…

Modeling flow and mass transfer within hollow fiber packaging for gas separation
Hollow fiber membrane modules are used for gas purification by their selective permeation properties. Intensification of the process to minimize the retentate loss and gas pressure involves optimization at various scales. In this work, we outline a numerical investigation of the gas separation performance at the scale of fiber bundles and its impact on module performance.…

Mitigation of hydrogen crossover in liquid alkaline water electrolysers using gas recombination catalysts
The rising demand for hydrogen calls for improvements in the efficiency of liquid alkaline water electrolysers (LAWEs), which can be fulfilled by advanced electrodes or separators. Nevertheless, they also intensify hydrogen crossover and safety concerns, thus mandating efficient mitigation strategies. Here we studied the correlation between cathodes and hydrogen crossover…

Automated multiphase identification and refinement in powder diffraction using mismatch-tolerant machine learning
Powder diffraction is a primary structural characterization tool in materials science, yet automated phase identification remains a major bottleneck for autonomous discovery. Existing workflows rely heavily on search–match heuristics and manual Rietveld refinement, and broadly usable end-to-end automation is especially limited for neutron powder diffraction, where comparab…

Correlated atomic dynamics in a CuZrAl liquid seen in real space and time using time-of-flight inelastic neutron scattering studies
When examined at the nanometer length scale, metallic liquids exhibit extensive ordering. Bonding enthalpies are balanced against entropic tendencies resulting in a rich complicated behavior that leads to clustering that depends on temperature but evolves on picosecond time scales. The structural organization of metallic liquids affects their thermophysical properties, suc…

Anisotropy of spin waves in the field-polarized phase of Fe-doped MnSi
Chiral magnetic textures, such as skyrmions, are of great interest to the condensed matter community due to their novel transport properties. The stabilization of topologically nontrivial magnetic phases, like the skyrmion lattice in cubic MnSi, is governed by underlying magnetic interactions which can be probed via measurements of spin-wave excitations. Here, we report hi…

Reactive atmosphere fabrication of nanostructured alumina-forming austenitic alloys for nuclear applications
Although advanced austenitic alloys are advantageous in non-nuclear applications due to their high creep strength, designing irradiation-resistant austenitic alloys is challenging due to the difficulty of dispersing irradiation defect-capturing sinks uniformly throughout the material. In this work, nanostructured alumina-forming austenitic (NAFA) alloys were successfully p…
