Our health is not entirely dictated by our genetics. It can also be affected by chemical and biological agents in our ambient environments--including built environments like our homes, schools, and workplaces. In the field of Environmental Health, the term 'health' refers to your health, and the term 'environment' refers to your personal surroundings: the air […]

Computers are getting smaller and smaller and more and more powerful. Solar energy is becoming more efficient. We can transmit electricity at much higher voltages (and thus more efficiently). We are able to create medicines that release over longer times. We can create transparent, conducting, strong materials. These are examples of where nanotechnology and nanomaterials […]

In a world where everyone is collecting as much data about us as they can, how do we maintain our privacy? What does privacy even mean, and how can we verify that we have it? These questions turn out to be frustratingly hard to answer, and the traditional ways of protecting privacy (including the ones […]

Traditionally tests to develop new treatments for cancer, to test environmental chemicals to see if they may harm humans, and other tests, have used cells in a flat layer. When you look at a person, however, you realize that we are not two-dimensional (2D) beings, and our cells do not exist in only two dimensions. […]
Join EarthEcho International for a STEM-tastic conversation about watershed biogeochemistry with Diana Oviedo Vargas, Watershed Biogeochemist at Stroud Water Research Center in Avondale, PA. Diana's research seeks to improve our knowledge about the elemental cycles in streams, rivers, and estuaries and how they are linked to each other, to the water cycle, and to the […]
Electrochemistry and Neuroscience Electrochemistry and neuroscience intersect in the Sombers Lab. Leslie Sombers uses techniques that involve shocking cells to release dopamine, among other neurotransmitters, to study the miniscule changes that occur within the brain. The research is performed at a variety of levels, ranging from investigation of biophysical factors that govern membrane fusion in […]
Do you know high school students who have wondered about black holes and what makes them among the most mysterious objects in the universe? Or how the largest black holes might change the fate of the galaxies black holes are in? If they have wondered, they’re not alone! For years scientists have been trying to […]

“Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink” says Samuel Taylor Coleridge in The Ancient Mariner (1834). Freshwater is undoubtedly a limited resource in the 21st century. Novel materials and membrane technologies have become a popular choice for developing new and safe water sources, utilizing marginal quality water sources and enabling wastewater reuse. However, fouling […]

DESCRIPTION: The Earth’s surface consists of bedrock, soil, water, air, and living things that have been interacting for billions of years and are a vital for sustaining life. However, the age of humans or the “Anthropocene” is putting unprecedented pressure on our planet and disturbances such as extreme storms, flooding, droughts, and fires might not […]
DESCRIPTION: The world we live in can be characterized as a complex system of interconnected entities. One way to describe these types of systems are through networks, or a collection of objects that are connected to one another in same manner. The field of graph theory in mathematics provides the basic ideas for network analysis, […]
