Electric cars are becoming the vehicle of the 21st century as governments push to reach global climate goals and auto manufacturers pledge to introduce pure electric models, whose numbers are predicted to reach 145 million by 2030. In order to meet this increasing demand, the University’s Multifunctional Thin Film Research Group is seeking to address prominent problems with the current industry-wide electric car battery model, which does not charge efficiently and contains a flammable liquid that puts drivers and emergency responders at risk if the car becomes compromised.

Marine seagrass, specifically eelgrass and turtle grass, proliferate in the shallow waters of estuaries and bays. These meadows of seagrass are an important part of many marine ecosystems, as they provide critical habitats for an abundance of fish, shellfish and invertebrates. They facilitate biodiversity, act as natural sponges to filter nitrogen out of the water and increase water quality and clarity by slowing the current down and increasing the stability of the sediment layer.
