Their projects will tackle pressing societal concerns ranging from racial inequality in the U.S. to PFAS pollution, the need for better semiconductors, and energy conservation.
Study shows the low-cost catalyst can be a viable alternative to platinum that has stymied commercialization of the eco-friendly fuel for decades because it’s so expensive.
"It is safe to say that the GreenDrill project requires more than double the logistical effort compared to any past Arctic expedition I’ve run," says Jason Briner, UB geology professor.
It’s complicated. Rather than simple splitting events, the species histories of polar and brown bears, like those of humans, hide convoluted stories of divergence and interbreeding, study finds.
It could reduce industry’s reliance on expensive platinum, which has hindered the growth of fuel cell electric vehicles, green power generation and more.
