"Material researchers and Ph.D. students at Imperial College London, Sam Draper and Barney Shanks have won the 2022 OBEL AWARD for Seratech, a solution for carbon-neutral concrete. With a special focus this year on “embodied emissions”, the OBEL AWARD jury selected scientists to obtain the architecture award to 'encourage innovative cross-disciplinary solutions to the challenges of climate change'."
"Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a way of using algae to create carbon-neutral or even carbon-negative concrete. The researchers use biogenic limestone that is grown by algae in place of quarried limestone to make portland cement, concrete's key and most carbon-intensive ingredient." | University of Colorado Boulder, Living Materials Laboratory
"By using natural enzymes, researchers from Empa have succeeded in producing high-quality wood-fiber insulation plates. Thanks to laccase-catalyzed reactions, the synthetic binding agent (styrene butadiene copolymer) can be replaced fully by sustainable, environmentally friendly biopolymers (lignin compounds, modified starch). This method satisfies the demands for sustainability and answers consumer calls for healthy living and energy efficiency." | Empa, Pavatex

Charles Babbage (b.1791 – d.1871) | 1824-1832 | "The portion shown here was assembled in 1832 by Babbage's engineer, Joseph Clement. It consists of about 2000 parts and represents one-seventh of the complete engine. This 'finished' portion of the unfinished engine was demonstrated to some acclaim by Babbage and functions impeccably to this day." ~Dr. Steven Leech | Credit: Science Museum / SSPL

This is a replica of a Pioneer satellite intended to orbit the moon. Pioneer 1 was launched on October 11, 1958, but the final velocity was insufficient to escape the earth's gravity. The resulting trajectory took the satellite to an altitude of 70,700 mi.

Aerospace

A bubble chamber is a device used for the detection and study of elementary particles and nuclear reactions. Charged particles from an accelerator are introduced into a super-heated liquid, each forming a trail of bubbles along its path. The trails are photographed, and by studying such pictures, scientists can identify the particles and analyze the nuclear events in which they originate. Fermilab’s 15-foot bubble chamber was commissioned in 1973. It is no longer operational. Photo Donna Hicks
