Science of Reading
There are five main domains of teaching reading in English – phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. Learning to read is not a “natural” process but rather results from connecting sounds to symbols in a systematic way. Science of reading is the collection of academic work that studies how people learn to read effectively.
Bio-inspired burrowing robots
Robots navigating sand is a trending research topic because of the many applications in search and rescue, extraterrestrial exploration, monitoring grain silos in food industry, soil contaminant monitoring and mining. Researchers are taking inspiration from the burrowing techniques/movements of animals and incorporating these techniques to design robots that burrow and navigate efficiently in sand.
Large area polymer solar cell
A large area polymer solar cell is an innovative photovoltaic device that utilizes organic polymers to convert sunlight into electricity over expansive surfaces. This sustainable technology holds promise for cost-effective and flexible solar energy solutions, making it particularly suitable for applications requiring large-scale, lightweight, and adaptable power generation.
Metabolism of Natural Killer cells
The vertical on the Metabolism of Natural Killer cells explores the intricate biochemical processes governing the energy production and utilization within these immune cells. Investigating how metabolic pathways influence the function and response of Natural Killer cells sheds light on potential therapeutic targets for enhancing immune responses against infections and cancer.
Ion Exchange Membranes under ROC
The Ion Exchange Membranes under Real Operating Conditions vertical delves into the performance and behavior of ion exchange membranes in practical settings, offering insights into their stability, conductivity, and selectivity in various operating environments.
Version 3 Methane Removal from Ambient Air
Removing existing methane (a greenhouse gas 80X more potent than carbon dioxide) from ambient air is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition to achieve the world’s climate goals. There are nascent technologies now in the lab that, when proven, will make a real difference in the climate change fight.
