Future Fuels: Lesson Plan
Check out the biofuels reactor that scientists in North Carolina’s Research Triangle Park are using to create gasoline-like hydrocarbon fuels from plant material, and learn the challenges of creating biofuels.
Future Fuels
We may not think of it as much when gas is cheap, but there are many economic and environmental reasons to transition away from fossil fuels. See the biofuels reactor that RTI International researchers are using to create gasoline-like hydrocarbon fuels from plant material and the challenges of creating biofuels.
Reinventing the Toilet
Some might call it the most important chair in the house but for 2.5 billion people around the world, access to safe and sanitary toilets isn’t an option. Researchers at RTI International are reinventing a toilet that is self-sustaining and doesn’t require plumbing or a regular water source, which will benefit the developing world.
A New Perspective
Drones provide interesting new perspectives on the world. Turns out, the images and angles are not only spectacular, but also valuable to rescue crews and social scientists.
