Thermal Conductivity of Insect Wings
Mentors Project Description The project is exploratory research to measure the thermal conductivity of insect wings and other tissues. Research on some insects including butterflies and bees has indicated that the wings are used as means of regulating body temperature, but the thermal properties of insect wings and other tissues are not well known. It’s […]
Biorenewable Nanomaterials: Using Biomass as a Fuel Source and Nano-template
Mentors Project Description As we evolve towards a greener future, we seek renewable fuels and sustainable manufacturing methods to reduce our global environmental impact. This project marries two seemingly disparate fields – the production of renewable fuels from biomass and the fabrication of novel metal oxide nanoparticles – in a simultaneous process. Using solution chemistry […]
