Introduction to Modeling, Simulation and Optimization of CO2 Sequestration in Various Types of Reservoirs
Carbon capture and sequestration has become an essential technology for addressing the mitigation of global warming and adverse climate change due to increasing CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion worldwide. However, the scientific/engineering community still lacks thorough and practical knowledge about various types of reservoirs capable of effective long-term CO2 sequestration. Introduction to Modeling, Simulation, and […]

Researchers create novel electro-biodiesel more efficient, cleaner than alternatives
Joshua Yuan at Washington University in St. Louis and Susie Dai at the University of Missouri, along with colleagues at WashU and Texas A&M, created biodiesel with electrocatalysis and bioconversion.
Beyond visual data
Can we ever see too much data? Yes, actually. In some situations, visual overload can paralyze decision-making. But over the last year, the interdisciplinary SAIL lab, with help from WashU Rowing, has explored nonvisual means for transmitting real-time performance feedback.
