USF Geoscientists Develop Technology to Improve Forecasting of Earthquakes, Tsunamis
University of South Florida geoscientists have successfully developed and tested a new high-tech shallow water buoy that can detect the small movements and changes in the Earth’s seafloor that are often a precursor to deadly natural hazards, like earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis.
New Material Captures and Converts Toxic Air Pollutant into Industrial Chemical
An international team of scientists, led by the University of Manchester, has developed a metal-organic framework, or MOF, material that provides a selective, fully reversible and repeatable capability to capture a toxic air pollutant, nitrogen dioxide, produced by combusting diesel and other fossil fuels.
Mathematician Develops Model to Control Spread of Aquatic Invasive Species
Adjusting the water flow rate in a river can prevent invasive species from moving upstream and expanding their range.
Novel Solar Cells Arrive at International Space Station for Testing
Five different types of solar cells fabricated by research teams at the Georgia Institute of Technology have arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) to be tested for their power conversion rate and ability to operate in the harsh space environment as part of the MISSE-12 mission.
NASA Examines Tropical Storm Fung-Wong’s Rainfall
