As climate change becomes an evermore concerning issue, researchers are working to make carbon capture and storage technologies more accessible, stable and environmentally friendly. See how a team of students is taking on the challenge one cubic foot at a time.
UC Davis researchers, including Dean of the College of Engineering Richard Corsi, are tackling indoor air quality — an often-overlooked factor in health and productivity. From ventilation strategies to airborne disease transmission, their work is shaping cleaner, healthier indoor spaces in homes, schools and workplaces.
As the first academic research facility in the U.S. dedicated to coffee, the UC Davis Coffee Center is brewing up serious science. From roasting chemistry to flavor perception, Professor Bill Ristenpart talks with Atlas Obscura about the center’s mission to uncover what makes the perfect cup.
The research team led by Professor Bruce Gates at the UC Davis Department of Chemical Engineering is interested in making platinum catalysts that are highly efficient and stable during chemical reactions.
This summer, a multidisciplinary group of undergraduate students participated in a biomanufactured foods research challenge. Now, they are taking their project — turning agricultural waste into food using fungi — to Washington, D.C.
A new study by Priya Shah, an associate professor of chemical engineering, reveals more details about the relationship between the Zika virus and a host protein called ANKLE2, which can lead to abnormal brain development in utero.
