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.

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.

This gives each element a unique set of energy levels – a signature that shows up when X-rayed. When an X-ray beam interacts with a sample of brain tissue, only those elements with an excitation energy at or below the energy of the X rays will exhibit fluorescence. FIELD OF RESEARCH : Metallomics, Biomedical Engineering.
