PORTFOLIO

Writing

Metal-free batteries could make the industry more ethical and sustainableOnly a small percentage of Li-ion batteries are recycled and in several well documented cases, the cobalt needed to make them is mined using child labor.

Future polymer batteries wouldn't contain any metal - Futurity"These polymers are very promising for batteries because they can charge and discharge way faster than any common battery in a phone or similar device."

'Two-faced' molecule holds clues to gut bacteria - FuturityResearchers have discovered a previously unknown response to the metabolite indole, which seems to both repel and attract bacteria.

Enhancing sustainability of fracking via innovations in wastewater management

New Electrodes Could Increase The Efficiency Of Electric Vehicles And AircraftA Texas A&M research team describes the process of creating new supercapacitor electrodes that have drastically improved mechanical properties.

Chaotic flows and the origin of lifeA research team at Texas A&M University has uncovered a physical mechanism that may help answer one of the major questions concerning the origin of life, "How did the building blocks form?"

Research team develops synergistic decision framework incorporating renewables and flexible carbon captureSolar/wind power and CO2 capture – the process of capturing waste CO2 so it is not introduced into the atmosphere – are two promising pathways for decarbonization, but both have significant drawbacks.

Designing A Better BatteryResearchers from Texas A&Ms Department of Chemical Engineering are developing protective layers for safer and longer-lasting batteries.

Akbulut and Kwon receive $1.8M DOE grant to study novel viscosifying agents Researchers in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University have been awarded a $1.8 million grant from the DOE to study a new class of viscosifying agents.

Lele awarded DOD grant to study in vivo protein self-assemblyDr. Pushkar Lele, received a grant from the Department of Defense to determine how bacteria form complex, macromolecular apparatuses, and how environmental factors trigger their assembly.

Texas A&M Researchers To Develop mRNA Vaccine PlatformThe team will develop a platform to rapidly prototype and test thermally stable and highly efficient mRNA vaccines.

Wu and Kwon develop a new theory to predict pathogen infection pathwayResearchers in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University, have developed new tools, leading to a breakthrough in the characterization of lectin-glycan interactions.

Jeong develops novel method to reduce energy cost of important chemical separationChemical purification and separation are among the most energy intensive processes on Earth. The traditional separation processes are not sustainable and a drastically different process is needed.

Jayaraman links gut microbiota with liver diseaseDr. Arul Jayaraman and a research team have linked gut microbiota of high-fat diet individuals with the onset of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, the most common liver disease in Western countries.

The energy implications of organic radical polymersNew technology could change the way we charge everything from phones to electric vehicles.

A novel approach to determine how carcinogenic bacteria find their targetsA team from the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering has uncovered key characteristics of the motility of Helicobacter pylori, a carcinogen that can lead to certain types of cancer. Treatments targeting the motility system of the bacteria could eliminate the risk of antibiotic resistance.
