This project focuses on developing a natural ingredient from fruit waste to be used in an agricultural product called a biostimulant, which helps plants grow better. The intern(s) will first work on extracting this ingredient using a special process that ensures it has the right properties for the final product. Then, they will mix and […]

The first initial buildup of oxygen in the Earth’s atmosphere – the Great Oxidation Event – started around 2.5 billion years ago, where oxygen may have reached levels comparable to today’s atmosphere. Following its debut, atmospheric oxygen levels quickly crashed, coinciding with a contraction of the global biosphere. The geologic time period of the Orosirian […]

The proposed scientific collaboration is toward developing a new class of porous structure using mathematical design. The structure must be lightweight and capable of removing heat. This structure is advantageous in engineering, such as heat enhancement, heat exchangers, and biomedical engineering (hip, jaw, or femur replacement). The global importance of the proposed research is in […]
