A Look Into Biotechnology

STEMe

Other fields of biotechnology can include agriculture, alternative energy, and environmental science. Many who aim to pursue biotechnology as a potential career earn a degree in a related scientific subject such as biology, biochemistry, microbiology, and more. This process often leads to a master’s degree or Ph.D.

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.
