Young Scientists Community
Summary
The document lists members of the Young Scientists Community, highlighting research in neuroscience, computer science, health, energy, and environmental sustainability.
Key insights
- Research within the community addresses climate change impacts on wildlife and the development of marine policies to ensure the sustainability of Arctic communities' food, water, and environment.
- Energy research focuses include the development of spray-on batteries integrated into fabrics, the engineering of biomass for future fuels and materials, and the creation of advanced characterization techniques to potentially double the charging speed of batteries.
- Environmental sustainability efforts include the development of 'waste-shell-refinery' concepts and atom-economic processes to convert waste biomass, such as lignin, cellulose, and chitin, into fuels and chemicals using benign solvents like water.
- Marine conservation research involves developing assisted reproduction methods for threatened coral species and studying giant clams to support restocking programmes and designate conservation priorities.
- Research in quantum science is being applied to improve solar cells by investigating how biological systems have evolved to exploit quantum mechanical phenomena.
