A key barrier to adoption of solar energy technology is the low efficiency of solar cells converting solar energy into electricity. Sims and Sims tackle this problem by coding a Raspberry Pi as a multimeter to determine which wavelength of light generates the most voltage and current from a solar panel.

In this study, results from an extensive survey report college students' and senior citizens' voting concerns during the 2020 presidential election.

In this study, the authors engineer a cost-effective and bio-friendly water purification system using limestone, denitrifying bacteria, and sulfate-reducing bacteria. They evaluated its efficacy with samples from Eastern PA industrial sites.

The authors test whether soaking maize seeds in a solution of melatonin improves seed germination and drought tolerance.

In this study, the authors investigate the combinatorial effects of CO₂ plus other environmental factors including salinity, temperature, acidity, and drought on how effectively plants can transport water and carbon through their stomata.

Semantic segmentation - labelling each pixel in an image to a specific class- models require large amounts of manually labeled and collected data to train.

Here, the authors sought to evaluate the efforts of fast fashion clothing companies towards sustainability, specifically in regards to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The authors used natural language processing to investigate the sustainability reports of fast fashion companies focusing on terms established by the UN. They found that the most consistently addressed areas were related to sustainable consumption/production, with a focus on health and well-being emerging during the recent pandemic.

Recognizing the increasing threat of acid deposition inn soil through the reaction of NOx and SO₂ pollutants with water in Spain, the authors investigates the effects of Al(NO₃)₃ concentrations on the health of Allium sativum. By tracking its mitotic index, they found a negative exponential correlation between Al(NO₃)₃ concentrations and the mitotic index of A. sativum.

This study assesses the capacity for milkweed species, an important host plant for Monarch butterflies, to grow in desert environments with different water levels.

Methane is a naturally-occurring gas that could be utilized as a renewable source of energy. In this study, authors isolated microorganisms from the Puget Sound region that could produce methane biofuel from composted waste.
