Air quality data from top-of-the-line platforms, such as satellites, are difficult to obtain without a high- level of technical knowledge. For this reason, local air quality patterns and trends are often inaccessible to disadvantaged communities (DACs). Many technologies that will be used for deep decarbonization of industrial and power facilities have the added co-benefit of reducing non-CO2 poll ...

C53-22c-271119Meeting climate-stabilizing energy transition goals requires using hybrid-energy CO2 capture systems like Direct Air Capture (DAC) to remove billions of tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere. Deploying this capacity will be difficult because it is complex and energy intensive infrastructure, and there must also be buy- in from communities living in locations best suited for it. The chall ...

C53-06a-271155Harnessing the quantum state of nature holds tremendous potential for creating new quantum technologies that surpass the capabilities of current systems. To create these new technologies, precise control over the quantum state must be maintained while simultaneously suppressing noise processes that would otherwise lead to decoherence and inaccurate results. This project will address ...

PFAS coatings have been widely used for producing consumable food-related packaging paper and tableware because of their good water and oil resistance. However, the potential risks associated with PFAS leaking during packaging usage and recycling threaten food safety and human health. The Creekside Environmental Products-Mississippi State University (MSU) Team proposes the development of PFAS-free ...

Statement of the Problem: Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a set of technologies used to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from large point sources, such as power plants and industrial facilities. CCS involves capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from these sources before they are released into the atmosphere, transporting the CO2 to a storage location, and securely storing it deep undergroun ...

Focused ion beams (FIBs) employing a plasma ion source are employed in research and industrial applications, including nanotechnology, biotechnology, semiconductor manufacture, and energy exploration. Noble gas ion beams of argon, krypton, and xenon are of particular importance in preparation of samples for high-precision microscopy. Today’s noble gas ion sources excel at preparation of these sa ...
