AUDACity: DAC Polymer-Enhanced Cyanobacterial Bioproductivity
Background Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) methods from atmospheric air, including direct air capture (DAC), is essential to limit the spread of global warming. However, current DAC approaches based on thermal and pressure swings are very energy intensive. Moisture-driven DAC using strong-base anion exchange resins (AER) reversibly binds CO2 from ambient...

Methods and Systems for Capturing and Concentrating CO2 Using Mesh Tubes
Background Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) from atmospheric air, which includes direct air capture (DAC), is essential to limit global warming to 2°C, or ideally 1.5°C. Current DAC methods based on thermal and pressure swings remain too energy intensive. Moisture-driven DAC using strong-base anion exchange resins (AER) binds CO2 from ambient air...

Photoacoustic Spectrometer for Real-Time Dust Monitoring
Background The inhalation of airborne respirable crystalline silica (RCS) particulates is a recognized occupational hazard, with potentially severe health consequences including silicosis, lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and kidney disease. RCS exposure is particularly prevalent in industries and activities such as construction,...
