Comments Off on Salt Pollution Threatens Human Water Security
BLACKSBURG, Virginia, April 22, 2021 (ENS) – “Inland freshwater salt pollution is rising nationwide and worldwide, and we investigated the potential conflict between managing freshwater salt pollution and the sustainable practice of increasing water supply through the addition of highly treated wastewater to surface waters and groundwaters,” said Stanley Grant, professor of civil and environmental engineering in the Virginia Tech College of Engineering.
“If we don’t figure out how to reverse this trend of salt pollution soon, it may become one of our nation’s top environmental challenges.” Grant and his collaborators have published their findings in the journal “Nature Sustainability.”

Researchers from Rochester Institute of Technology s Center for Computational Relativity and Gravitation (CCRG) are using the world s most powerful academic supercomputer to perform simulations that will help scientists study eccentric binary black hole mergers.
Professor Carlos Lousto from the CCRG and School of Mathematical Sciences secured one of 58 new science projects for 2021-2022 that received time allocations on the Frontera supercomputer at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC).
Frontera is a National Science Foundation-funded system designed for the most experienced academic computational scientists in the nation. Researchers are awarded time on Frontera based on their need for very large-scale computing, and the ability to efficiently use a supercomputer on the scale of Frontera.

Research paves way for wireless charging of electric vehicles
Imagine you’re driving your Tesla, or an equivalent electric car, down the highway. Your battery is running low. Sure, you could pull off at the next exit and spend time, and energy, searching for a recharging station. Or you could simply change lanes and drive over special charging strips embedded in the road.
That’s the vision of Khurram Afridi, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering in the College of Engineering. He’s pioneering an innovative approach for the wireless charging of electric vehicles, autonomous forklifts and other mobile machines, while they remain in motion.
