Environment
Environmental Engineering is the application of engineering principles to improve and maintain the environment for the protection of human health and at-risk ecosystems.
As a result of global warming, the ice sheets and glaciers in Greenland are melting and receding. In an attempt to address the ice loss in Greenland, a new strategy was developed. An international group of scientists assessed the success that of a new technique, stratospheric aerosol injection.
Ocean Thermal Conversion Technology (OTEC), is a renewable power source as old as electricity. It is a baseload source, meaning that there are no fluctuations, so it is a reliable source of energy unlike other renewable sources.
Aquaponics is a water-efficient way to grow crops and raise fish. The fish and plants depend on each other for survival.
Carbon Conversion removes carbon dioxide from the air and creates helpful byproducts. It could be the solution to climate change.
The Inflation Reduction Act, one of the most significant pieces of legislation in modern history, hasn't garnered public attention. But why?
The primary goal of Starlink is to provide satellite internet connectivity to underserved areas of the planet, as well as provide competitively priced service to urban areas. The project aims to improve upon the delay traditionally associated with satellite internet, making it a viable alternative to cable or fiber connections.
The idea behind the wooden satellite is simple yet genius. Wood doesn't block electromagnetic waves or the Earth's magnetic field. Therefore, devices within the satellite could work without the need for additional sensors or antennas, potentially reducing the amount of metal needed.
On January 28, just about one third of the energy demand in Texas came from solar power for five hours. The sun was able to break two records in Texas in one day.
The saxophone is used in all kinds of music, like jazz, ensemble music, and orchestra. But how does a saxophone work and how do you play it?
In Sydney Australia, swamp wallabies and other herbivores have been eating protected plants to extinction. The University of Sydney had an idea, what if you protect the plants by making them smell toxic?
Solid state batteries promise to bring faster charging times, longer range, and less weight. Some are said to charge from 10% to 80% in ten minutes.
Oxford PV solar panels reached a record 25% efficiency. As the efficiency of solar panels increases, it could lead us to a future with no pollution.
