Microbial Air Quality Monitoring System (MAQMS)
Air quality monitoring is critical for environmental health and public safety. Traditional monitoring methods rely on passive and active air sampling techniques, which, while effective, are cumbersome, expensive and limited with respect to real-time data and comprehensive analyses. In high-risk environments, such as hospital or care settings, and food...

Device to Attract and Trap Motile Aquatic Pathogens
The Caribbean region is considered a coral disease hotspot, with over 20 documented diseases and syndromes affecting over 20 species of corals. One motile marine pathogen family, Vibrionaceae, which is responsible for 50% of coral diseases, is strongly thermodependent, thus warming sea-surface temperatures, driven by pollution and global climate change,...

Engineering Strategies to Improve Photosynthetic Efficiency
Plants, algae and certain bacteria utilize photosynthesis to convert sunlight, water, and CO2 into oxygen and energy, which is the material basis for most biological activities on earth. However, their photosynthetic efficiency is low compared to theoretical values. Therefore, boosting this photosynthetic efficiency even a little above normal can translate...
