Research now underway at the University of Texas at San Antonio could be part of a global solution to climate change and maybe even propel vehicles though space. UTSA’s Department of Physics and Astronomy is leading a three-year study to investigate more efficient fuels for nuclear reactors. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy funded the project to advance the nation’s power and climate goals. Better nuclear fuel could improve the odds of long-range space travel, exploration and even colonization, UTSA officials said. But the more immediate, earthbound potential applications include powerful reactors that can replace coal- and gas-burning power plants and modular mini-reactors to provide electricity to small communities. https://bit.ly/4haKYDm

She walked out of a rundown apartment and approached a nondescript gray minivan stopped in the street on San Antonio's near West Side. Her name was Stephanie, and she was wearing a gray T-shirt, rolled-up blue jeans and no shoes. In her hands was a metal box stuffed with used hypodermic needles. She grabbed two fistfuls of needles, used to shoot up heroin and fentanyl, and dumped them into a bright red biohazard container brought by the people in the Ford minivan, outreach workers from Corazón Ministries. In all, she turned in 80 used needles. She got 90 clean ones in return, plus a pack of Narcan, a medication to reverse opioid overdoses. Depending on your perspective, the exchange was a small victory in the fight against IV-related diseases — or it was a grim illustration of the surge of addiction that has swept South Texas, accompanied by a drastic increase in overdose deaths, many caused by fentanyl, a synthetic opioid 50 times more powerful than heroin. Fatal overdoses across San Antonio and the rest of Bexar County have gone through the roof, an analysis of state health department data shows. The wave of addiction has created a new normal, especially in downtown San Antonio, a center for the homeless population, many of whom deal with addiction. https://bit.ly/3U77naU

Robert Roberson is set Thursday evening to be the first person executed for a murder conviction tied to the diagnosis of shaken baby syndrome, unless Gov. Greg Abbott intervenes in a matter of hours. The governor has not publicly addressed the case, which has made national headlines, and his office has not responded to requests about whether he might step in. Abbott has been under pressure from lawmakers, including members of his own party, and some conservative donors to grant a reprieve in the case, which they argue relies on “junk science.” Roberson is scheduled to die by lethal injection at the state prison in Huntsville at 6 p.m. local time. https://bit.ly/406FRxW
