Timo Thonhauser, assistant professor of physics, CEES faculty affiliate, and recent recipient of both the National Science Foundation’s Career Award and the Wake Forest Award for Excellence in Research, was drawn to science for many of the same reasons as others in the field […]
On February 2nd, 2014, the third largest coal ash spill in the history of the United States occurred right here in our back yard. The spill at the Dan River Steam Plant released tens of millions of gallons of coal ash into its namesake […]
Another drone is set to take to the skies from the campus of Wake Forest University. Unlike its predecessors, however, this one is not destined for the rainforests of Peru but for the rugged and remote islands of the East Pacific. With funding from CEES, […]
What do 300 suns, boat hull construction, Cool Energy engines, water splitting, GaAs nanowires and piedmont North Carolina have in common? They are pieces of a green energy puzzle that students and faculty of four Piedmont Triad universities are trying to assemble. Teams from Wake […]
Finding a relationship between a farm in Yadkin County, two chemists at Wake Forest University, the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools’ Career Center, and renewable biofuels may initially seem challenging, but an interdisciplinary team of educators and scientists saw opportunity in collaboration. Ultimately, through the concerted […]
