Using adsorbents to help society

Futurum

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. For adsorption to help with healthcare and environmental issues, scientists need to develop new adsorbent materials that are more energy efficient.

Growing a community: building the Plant Cell Atlas

Futurum

Plants supply most of our food, underpin our ecosystems, supply many of our medicines, store vast amounts of carbon from photosynthesis, and are a powerful source of renewable energy. The development of innovative tools is enabling us to make unprecedented discoveries within plant science,” says Sue. They are very important!

How can we unravel the complex history of networks?

Futurum

Most people suffered no more than a bad cough, a lack of energy, and a loss of taste and smell. A network is a mathematical model used to describe relationships (known as edges) between individuals (known as nodes),” explains Min. Statistics uses probability to distinguish useful information from sheer coincidence in the data.”

Dental discoveries: How is dental research improving oral health?

Futurum

To make sense of these data, researchers turn to bioinformatics, the scientific field that uses computers and computational techniques to analyse large and complex biological datasets. Before going to dental school at the University of Iowa, I worked in a molecular biology lab and as a technician in a hospital pharmacy.

Modelling mines: how can a new 3D modelling platform make mining more sustainable and be part of the solution to climate change?

Futurum

Mines consume a lot of energy and water when they are drilling and crushing rocks, which they do to extract metals and minerals. The water and energy used by a mine, along with the waste produced, is part of its mining footprint.

Deducing how Antarctica will respond to climate change

Futurum

Other processes include direct melting from the Sun’s energy hitting the ice’s surface. Given that this energy varies daily and seasonally, the ice can undergo repetitive freezing and thawing, which can crack the ice sheet and lead to dramatic collapses of sections. Uncovering this relationship involves some sophisticated modelling.
