  1. Phase Behavior of Boron Nitride Liquid Crystals for Assembly into Macroscopic Materials

    Animations | 24 Sep 2024 | Contributor(s): Frank Padron, Rice University

    Boron Nitride Nanotubes (BNNT) are formed by hexagonal lattices with alternating boron and nitrogen atoms. This type of nanotubes is strong, but unlike electrically conductive carbon nanotubes, BNNTs are good electrical insulators and are thermally and chemically stable in air up to 900...

  2. Integration of Applied Mathematics into High School Math Courses using Computational Fluid Dynamics

    Animations | 24 Sep 2024 | Contributor(s): Sergio Salinas, Rice University

    Incorporating applied mathematics through fluid dynamics simulations into the high school math curriculum presents a dynamic approach to education, fostering problem- solving skills crucial for STEM fields. This initiative proposes a progression of project- based assignments from Algebra 1 to...

  3. Sediment Transport During Floods

    Animations | 24 Sep 2024 | Contributor(s): Mila Taylor, Rice University

    Rivers move water and sediments during floods which are crucial in water resource management and the community around them. In this study, we explore the effect of river transport on the grain size distribution of Mount Mazama ash deposit in Oregon. To explore our ideas, we characterized...

  4. Escaping Gas in Magma

    Animations | 24 Sep 2024 | Contributor(s): Gwenanne Michalsky, Rice University

    In magma, suspended bubbles can change the viscosity and other properties of magma which can then determine the style of volcanic eruptions. To better understand volcanic eruptions we want to understand how gas is lost from magma. We performed rheological experiments to investigate the...

  5. Functionalization of Carbon Nanotubes

    Animations | 24 Sep 2024 | Contributor(s): Duane Turner, Rice University

    Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNT) show promising use in various fields and applications. Due to their high electrical/thermal conductivity, tensile strength, and length to diameter ratio, there is great interest in the use of SWCNTS for material additives, micro-electronics, and medical...

  6. OECT Optimization for CO₂ Detection By Varying APTES Thickness

    Animations | 24 Sep 2024 | Contributor(s): Deborah Edwards, Rice University

    The detection of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in subsea environments is crucial for monitoring underwater ecosystems and mitigating climate change. Organic Electrochemical Transistors (OECTs) offer a promising approach for CO₂ detection in these conditions due to their sensitivity, selectivity, and...

  7. Removal and Destruction of PFAS Compounds by Granulated Activated Carbon Impregnated with Iron and Copper

    Teaching Materials | 24 Sep 2024 | Contributor(s): Dulce Abascal, NEWT Center, Rice University

    Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of over 10,000 man-made chemicals currently polluting the environment. These compounds are prevalent in numerous consumer goods and firefighting foams and are associated with health concerns, primarily through human exposure via drinking...

  8. Nature's Nectar or A Nuisances' Nightmare: Which Liquid Will Fruit Flies Fly to the Most - Apple Cider Vinegar or Water?

    Animations | 24 Sep 2024 | Contributor(s): Jomarga Thompkins, Rice University

    The work lead by Dr. Saltz, focuses on studying fruit flies because they are simple to work with and can tell us a lot about basic biological processes. By doing this, we can better understand how genes, behaviors, and environments interact and affect each other. My investigation will be...

  9. Optimizing Transformation Efficiencies for Biosensor Development

    Animations | 24 Sep 2024 | Contributor(s): Frida Maldonado, NEWT Center, Rice University

    Biosensors are an emerging technology in the field of environmental engineering and show promise for wastewater epidemiology applications. Instead of the current centralized sampling approach, live sensors deployed in-situ could relay information in real-time. This project seeks to use the...

  10. How Does Restoration Affect Soil Health and the Plant Community?

    Animations | 24 Sep 2024 | Contributor(s): Patricia Juarez, Rice University

    Restoration is one tool to help with conservation. Understanding how restoration impacts soil and plants community helps us monitor the environment. We visited two restorations sites, Almeda and Tom Bass 1 in Harris County Precinct 1 Texas in June 2024. We collected 10 soil samples at each...
