Enhanced CO2 Uptake with High Porous Temperature Swing Sorbents
Background The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) emphasizes the urgent need to remove CO2 from the atmosphere by the end of the century to limit global warming to below 2 °C. Direct Air Capture (DAC) is essential in all scenarios to meet this target, requiring the removal of about 1,000 gigatons of CO2. DAC systems use chemical sorbents...

Innovative Multifunctional Edible Coating for Enhancing Fresh Produce
Fresh fruits and vegetables (FVs) can cause foodborne diseases as they are able to harbor a variety of human pathogens and parasites. The short shelf life of fresh produce, due in large part to microbial induced spoilage, is a serious problem that costs the food industry billions a year. Further, nutrients, polyphenols and other bioactive compounds...

Thermoacoustic Consolidation Method for Metal Powder
Background In laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing, 20–30% of metal powder feedstock becomes unusable after multiple cycles of sieving and reclaiming. This is due to deviations in particle size and geometry, which can lead to build defects and failures. These out-of-spec powders are typically stored, creating logistical, cost,...

Systems and Methods for Global Horizontal Irradiance Forecasting for Photovoltaic Systems
Background As more large-scale solar arrays (utility-scale) are connected to the energy grid, predicting solar irradiance (e.g., the amount of sunlight hitting the panels) becomes crucial for accurately forecasting the power of these photovoltaic (PV) arrays. This is because solar power generation is highly dependent on sunlight, which is variable...
