Check out our new paper on using imaging spectroscopy to assess the impacts of invasive plants on aboveground and belowground characteristics. In this paper, we showed that we can use remote sensing to assess the impacts of invasive plants on aboveground characteristics and map belowground characteristics through linkages between aboveground and belowground characteristics.

Excited to share our new paper! We conducted a new thermodymics-based analysis of diffusive transport in geologic systems with multiple partially-soluble fluids, focusing on the important cases of CO2 and H2. We show that in the presence of a geothermal gradient, entropic contributions can reverse the direction of diffusion! This was completely counter-intuitive to me and a fascinating result. We predict that for essentially all realistic geologic carbon storage scenarios, diffusion will drive CO2 downwards. For underground hydrogen storage, the picture is more complicated; H2 will likely diffuse upwards but might reverse direction in deep or high-temperature gradient systems.

📢 NEW PUBLICATION! I am thrilled to share our latest research, "A hybrid MRAC-PI approach to regulate pH in raceway reactors for microalgae production". In this work, we developed and validated a hybrid Model Reference Adaptive Control to tackle the nonlinear, time-varying dynamics in open raceway reactors used in outdoor microalgae production. During continuous operation in real facilities for twelve days in two different months, the MRAC maintained the pH within the desired range, highlighting its robustness and suitability for industrial applications in microalgae photobioreactors and outperforming conventional PI controllers. This research contributes to sustainable and efficient solutions for industrial microalgae production 🌍 Authors: Malena Caparroz José Luis Guzmán Sánchez JUAN DIEGO GIL VERGEL Manuel Berenguel F.

🚨 New paper alert! We published our latest work in Science of the Total Environment (STOTEN), resulting from collaboration with the RSBE2 group at the Nantes Université as part of the REWRITE Project EU. In this study, conducted in the Guadalquivir River estuary, we tested different flight configurations to establish a robust quantitative relationship between spectral indices derived from UAV-based multispectral data and the concentration of photosynthetic pigments in microphytobenthic biofilm, measured by HPLC. This study demonstrates the potential of low-altitude, high-spatial-resolution radiometric imaging as an efficient, rapid, and non-destructive complement to in-situ measurements of MPB biomass, offering promising prospects for monitoring estuarine systems at a millimetric scale of variability. 👇 To access the full-text: https://lnkd.in/eZ4K2NRv

🔋 They're safe and long-lasting. Will salt batteries revolutionize our ways of energy storage? Originally designed for electric cars, salt batteries are now powering mobile phone antennas and have the potential to electrify entire neighborhoods. Here are key highlights: 🔥⛔Safety and durability: Non-flammable with a solid electrolyte, making them ideal for critical infrastructure like mining and offshore platforms 🤝Research collaboration: Empa researchers, led by Dr. Meike V. F. Heinz and Corsin Battaglia, are working with HORIEN Salt Battery Solutions to enhance cell chemistry, focusing on projects like HiPerSoNick and the EU's SOLSTICE ♻️Sustainability: Efforts are underway to reduce nickel content and explore alternatives like zinc, ensuring the use of abundant materials and improving recyclability 🔗Article: https://lnkd.in/ePksZraN 🎫 Upcoming event on batteries, "wissen2go": https://lnkd.in/e_fUU6KB Author: Anna Ettlin

Hydride superconductors are emerging as frontrunners in the quest for achieving high-temperature superconductivity. These materials often operate under high pressures, and the main challenge is to lower the required pressures while retaining high superconducting transition temperatures. Our latest research, published in PNAS, might just set the stage for the next big breakthrough. We predict that a ternary La-Sc-H material can exhibit superconductivity above room temperature at 150 GPa, and reach as high as 58°C under pressures up to 250 GPa. Why This Matters: These incredible temperatures challenge current superconductivity applications, paving the way for transformative advances in various technologies.

Light energy absorbed by chlorophyll molecules can be re-emitted as light. That’s chlorophyll autofluorescence, the emission of red light by chlorophyll molecules when illuminated with blue light. This red light reveals the morphology of chloroplasts and how they become more complex due to endosymbiotic events. These chloroplasts originated from ancestral free-living photosynthetic host cells in a symbiotic relationship, ultimately leading to the diverse plastid types observed today. This represents a pivotal event in Earth’s evolutionary history.
