ReEDS-India is an open-access tool for mid- and long-term capacity expansion modeling that finds the mix of generation, transmission, and storage technologies that meet the anticipated requirements of the electric sector at least cost.
The Wyoming Trails Carbon Hub (WyoTCH) project completed a front-end engineering and design (FEED) study for a commercial-scale, open-access carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) transport pipeline in Wyoming under U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Award DEFE0032347, funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Carbon Capture Technology Program and administered by the National Energy Technology Laboratory. The project’s approach of designing a multi-source, multi-destination pipeline, rather than a dedicated line serving a single project, would lower the barrier to entry for individual CO 2 projects. The projects would leverage Wyoming's concentrated industrial and power generation CO 2 sources, its existing CO 2 pipeline infrastructure, and its extensive CO 2 storage and utilization capacity. This is the project's final technical report.
The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) User Facility provides one of the world's largest openly accessible repositories of atmospheric observations through the ARM Data Discovery platform. Although the repository contains more than three decades of measurements collected from permanent observatories, mobile facilities, aircraft campaigns, and field experiments, identifying appropriate datasets can be challenging, particularly for new users unfamiliar with ARM instrumentation and datastream organization. To improve data accessibility, the ARM Data Center developed the ARM Data Advisor (ADA), an artificial intelligence-powered assistant designed to facilitate scientific data discovery, dataset interpretation, and user guidance. This report evaluates ADA's performance as a domain-specific scientific assistant using realistic atmospheric science workflows. The evaluation examines five key capabilities: data retrieval and curation efficiency, hallucination resistance, scientific reasoning, response to ambiguous queries, and content retention and session continuity. Representative prompts were developed to simulate typical interactions between researchers and the ARM Data Discovery platform, and ADA's responses were assessed for retrieval completeness, scientific accuracy, consistency, and practical usefulness. In these representative tests, ADA reduced the complexity of discovering and accessing ARM datasets by recommending appropriate datastreams, explaining instrumentation, interpreting metadata, and assisting with data processing workflows. ADA also exhibits strong domain knowledge of atmospheric science terminology and generally resists hallucination by acknowledging unavailable datasets and requesting clarification when appropriate. Overall, the results indicate that ADA represents a promising advancement in scientific data discovery within the ARM User Facility and has considerable potential to improve researcher productivity, particularly for new users and interdisciplinary scientists seeking efficient access to ARM observations.
The Wind Data Hub, or WDH (formerly known as the Data Archive and Portal), is established by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO). The WDH provides secure, timely, easy, and open access to all laboratory, field, and benchmark model data produced by land-based and offshore projects funded by WETO.
This data comes from a 3D FLASH [Fryxell et al. ApJS 131, 273 (2000); Tzeferacos et al. HEDP 17, 24-31(2015)] computation of a cylindrical implosion experiment performed at the National Ignition Facility (shot number N210201-001). FLASH is an open-access radiation-hydrodynamics code being used to simulate high-energy-density systems.
The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate how circadian clock regulation impacts carbon partitioning between storage, growth, and product synthesis in Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 in providing insights to strategies for enhanced bioproduction. Culture samples were collected at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours for extracellular sucrose analysis. Circadian metabolomics data was acquired using a Agilent single quadrupole gas chromatography-mass spectrometer and processed using Agilent Mass Hunter for targeted sucrose quantification. Metabolomic analysis of PCC 7942 light-dark cycle cultures transitioned to constant light revealed distinct temporal patterns in sucrose production. Processed metabolomic datasets are openly accessible from the PNNL DataHub project dataset download page and contain secondary processed GC-MS results files and supporting metadata materials linked to relevant source code information supporting data transparency and reuse.

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) "Modeling Host Responses to Understand Severe Human Virus Infections" program project was a highly integrated and comprehensive systems biology research core, funded by the National Institute of Health (U19AI106772) from 2013-06-01 to 2018-05-31, investigating the complex host response to category A, B, and C priority pathogen infections. Resulting project deliverables include an extensive comprehensive collections of linked primary and secondary transformation viral experimental infection data. Here we provide a never before released comprehensive infectious disease collection of primary and secondary transformation multi-Omics data profiling a series of priority pathogen primary experimental studies for enhanced open access to viral Omics lifecycle datasets and project metadata. Using a highly integrated and multidisciplinary approach, linked primary data and metadata supporting secondary normalization datasets, provide critical information necessary for research reproducibility and long-term preservation. Enabling on-demand data access for research community consumption and developer reuse, serves to support new mechanistic insights and discoveries into host-pathogen interactions for aiding future biohazard data preparedness efforts in emergency response to global health crises involving viral infection.
Two neural networks were trained to predict, respectively, the Euler characteristic and the curvature of nuclear pastas in neutron star crust conditions generated by molecular dynamics simulations of neutron star matter with 0.1 < x < 0.5, 0.040 fm−3 < ρ < 0.085 fm−3 (0.68 × 1014 g/cm3 < ρ < 1.43 × 1014 g/cm3), and 0.2 MeV < T < 4.0 MeV, where x is proton content, the density is ρ, and the temperature is T. The predictions of the two networks were combined to determine the nuclear pasta phase that is thermodynamically stable at a given x, ρ, and T, and a three-dimensional phase diagram that extrapolated slightly the regions of existing molecular dynamics data was computed. The jungle gym and anti-jungle gym structures are prevalent at high temperature and low density, while the anti-jungle gym and anti-gnocchi structures dominate at high temperature and high density. A diversity of structures exist at low temperatures and intermediate density and proton content. The trained models used in this work are open access and available at a public repository to promote comparison to pastas obtained with other models.
