Engineering Our Ocean's Carbon Sinks
Oceans sustain our everyday life as well as supporting various marine ecosystems. They also are Earth's largest carbon sinks, acting as a critical buffer against climate change by absorbing a si gnificant amo unt of produced emissions. Recently, a company called Equatic has developed a way to speed up and measure this removal process in seawater, raising questions on how engineered solutions can work alongside nature to address climate change. Why is carbon removal so importa

Everyday Energy
Batteries. They literally power so many tools and machines in our lives. From being involved in great proportions for car batteries to small scale factors such as Triple A batteries in a simple television remote, batteries make up basic everyday objects that we depend on everyday. However, how are batteries recycled, and how is this helpful to our environment? How Do You Recycle A Battery? Usually, many alkaline batteries (AA, AAA, C, D, 9V, and button cell batteries) are dis

Nanobubbles 101
When we think of bodies of water, such as the oceans, they seem so vast to the human eye. Even just thinking about solutions to balance out dissolved oxygen levels, water pollution, and micro-plastic content can feel daunting, but what if I told you that we have created an innovation for our rivers and streams that is invisible to the naked eye? Meet the nanobubble- a gaseous bubble that can be applied in areas from treating microbial injuries all the way to removing toxic al

AI In Energy
According to the International Energy Agency , "electricity demand from data centers worldwide is set to more than double by 2030 to around 945 terawatt-hours (TWh), slightly more than the entire electricity consumption of Japan today." However in many ways AI is also transforming the transition to greener energy practices. So what role should AI play in our energy consumption in the future? How is AI currently helping our energy grid? The MIT Technology Review calls the gri
