This water treatment plant is solar-powered
A 100 kW ground mounted solar system with a 27-kW rooftop system now powers this water treatment plant.
Polymer additions in concrete
Polymers can increase the strength, make the concrete more “green” and can decrease the mass of the final product. With these advantages in mind, material scientists are exploring all of the possible additives and how they may impact the structures of the future.
Materials innovations sparked from agricultural waste
Any time a waste stream can be converted into useful material, there is potential to make a profit as well as reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. Because of this, research in reusing agricultural waste has become a growing field.
Forecasting US hydropower under climate change
The implications of future climatic trends for hydroelectric power capacity in the U.S. have been analyzed.
Artificial plants clear the air indoors
