The American Association for the Advancement of Science featured research on the use of 3D printed graphene aerogels for water treatment by Nirupam Aich and Chi Zhou in a Eureka Alert.
Lab Manager reports on a UB study that shows how to make stable and large aerogels that remove heavy metals, organic solvents and organic dyes from water and quotes study co-author Nirupam Aich, assistant professor of environmental engineering.
The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences was well-represented at this year’s Henry A. Panasci Jr. Technology Entrepreneurship Competition (Panasci TEC).
Industrial engineers find ways to optimize systems, improving things as diverse and complex as TSA, mail carrier routes, and manufacturing assembly lines. Or, with Oyinkansola Antwi’s recent project, our wellbeing.
New Atlas, Science Codex, Water Online and other news outlets covered research by UB engineers on a new process of 3D printing graphene aerogels that they say overcomes two key hurdles — scalability and creating a version of the material that’s stable enough for repeated use — for water treatment.
