Battelle-led Team to Investigate Recycling Solar Panels
A team from Battelle is one of 16 to win funding from National Science Foundation’s Convergence Accelerator program Track I: Sustainable Materials for Global Challenges. The NSF initiative is focused on converging advances in fundamental research and bringing solutions to the real world through a multidisciplinary approach with academic, nonprofits and industry members.
Boosting agility, resilience of supply chains through automation and robotics
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the inability of national supply chains to quickly shift production and reconfigure their logistics networks to meet customer demand surges during major disruptive events. The desperate scramble for items such as ventilators, face masks and even toilet paper won’t soon be forgotten, but the recent baby formula shortage points to a […]
Texas A&M Researchers Aim To Accurately Monitor Subsurface Carbon Dioxide Storage
Their novel monitoring system can rapidly monitor carbon dioxide sequestered underground. Capturing and storing carbon dioxide (CO2) deep underground can help combat climate change, but long-term monitoring of the stored CO2 within a geological storage site is difficult using current physics-based methods. Texas A&M University researchers proved that unsupervised machine-learning methods could analyze the sensor-gathered […]
Energy Institute Developing DOE RAPID-Funded Education Program on Computer-Aided Process Intensification
As a part of an award from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Rapid Advancement in Process Intensification Deployment (RAPID) Institute, which is overseen by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the Texas A&M Energy Institute is developing a comprehensive educational and workforce development training program specifically focusing on computer-aided and process systems engineering-based strategies for modeling and simulation of process intensification systems.
