Using adsorbents to help society

Futurum

“Adsorption is a common process in our everyday lives,” says Dr Yamil Colón, based at the University of Notre Dame’s College of Engineering. Firstly, since sorbents can separate molecules from each other, finding new sorbents that can do this as efficiently as possible will reduce the energy needed for each separation.

Can soil microbes improve agricultural sustainability?

Futurum

Firstly, the process of creating these fertilisers is an extremely energy intensive one, which requires nitrogen gas to react with hydrogen under high temperatures and pressures. This process is reliant upon fossil fuels, consuming more than 1% of our global energy supply annually, while contributing to greenhouse gas emissions,” says Nate.

How can we detect and prevent brain injuries?

Futurum

Professor Christian Franck, from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is working on a programme that he hopes will improve the prevention and detection of TBIs. Why is it so important to detect asymptomatic brain injuries? The most formidable challenge remains the brain itself,” says Christian.
