Climate BreakHow Public Universities are Helping to Fight Climate Change, with Bruce RiordanThe Role of Public Universities in the Fight Against Climate ChangePublic universities like UC Berkeley have played a major role in developing climate solutions, from innovation in labs to policy initiatives. In order to create positive change in the climate space, science requires funding, which universities can provide. Further, universities, of course, educate, train, and interact firsthand with people who, in the future, will work in the climate space, putting them in an essential position in terms of climate education. How UC Berkeley is Making a DifferenceUC Berkeley specifically has made s...2025-04-1501 minClimate BreakCOF 999 Carbon Capture, with Dr. Omar YaghiWhat is COF 999?UC Berkeley chemistry professor Dr. Omar Yaghi recently led a study which has the potential to be revolutionary in reducing the quantity of carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere. “Covalent organic framework number 999,” or COF 999, is a yellow, powder-like material that has billions of tiny holes. Inside of these holes, researchers in Dr. Yaghi’s lab have installed molecular units that can seek out carbon dioxide, enabling the substance to suck in and capture the carbon dioxide. COF 999 has a huge capacity for absorbing emissions; half a pound of the powder can absorb as much c...2025-01-0901 min
Choses à Savoir TECH VERTEUne poudre jaune pour capturer le CO2 ?Une poudre capable de capturer autant de carbone qu’un arbre, cela vous paraît utopique ? Pourtant, des chercheurs de l’Université de Berkeley, en Californie, affirment que cette innovation pourrait devenir une arme essentielle contre le changement climatique. D’après une étude publiée dans *Nature* et relayée par *The Guardian*, cette poudre révolutionnaire, d’environ 230 grammes, peut absorber autant de dioxyde de carbone qu’un arbre, avec des perspectives prometteuses pour le stockage ou des applications industrielles, comme les boissons gazeuses. Basée sur des liaisons chimiques puissantes, cette poudre poreuse et durable surpasse...2024-12-0202 min
NYCU NEXUS 第三空間[CN/EN][Bilingual Buzz at NYCU 雙語國際新聞] EP6. 從永續創新到高齡社會新突破：解析2024唐獎大師論壇與智慧健康新趨勢隨著永續倡議注入各大企業，本集首先討論到 2024 唐獎大師論壇，這場論壇即使面臨颱風逼近也如期舉行，並邀請到可持續發展先鋒、Omar M. Yaghi 教授。他的金屬有機框架材料（MOFs）技術，不僅能捕獲碳，甚至在乾燥地區還能每天收集 5 公升的水，在現今水循環利用中展現了高度突破與創新。
相信大家最近也有關注到「高齡社會」的來臨，讓許多社會福利措施更加完善與改進，我們將深入探討陽明交大如何透過兩個創新項目重塑銀髮族的健康生活，像是智能健康促進計畫，透過 AI 技術和運動設備，幫助中台灣的長者提升體能。還有「宮學院」計畫，讓長者回到校園與年輕學子一起學習，展現終身學習的活力！
最後為各位帶來的新聞內容是陽明交大有 122 名研究人員入選了史丹佛大學公佈的全球前 2% 科學家榜單，其中陳亮恭醫師更是連續五年成為台灣臨床醫學領域的頂尖科學家，他在高齡研究上的貢獻影響深遠。亮眼的成績為醫療界展開新大陸，更多有趣又好玩的知識內容，千萬不能錯過本集Podcast。

Science In ActionBetelbuddy and Silk Road CitiesBetelgeuse, one of the brightest and most famous stars in the northern night sky, has varied in brightness with an elusive pattern ever since observations began. Many theories exist as to why it ebbs and flows with apparently two distinct rhythms – one shorter and another around 2000 days long.But just recently two independent astronomical teams have unveiled papers suggesting the existence of an orbital companion circling the red giant. About the size of our own sun, the “Betelbuddy” may whizz round Betelgeuse, almost skimming its surface, every 2000 days. And why haven’t we seen the Betelbuddy before? Because...2024-10-2435 min
The History of Chemistry116: Open Frame of MindWe introduce the first chemical construction set in chemistry (besides natural proteins, starches, sugars, etc.), the metal-organic framework. A DuPont employee, E.A. Tomic, invented this type of molecule in the 1960s, but it took until Omar Yaghi's research in 1990s until chemists realized the value of metal-organic frameworks. We discuss the experiments and results leading up to Yaghi's work, what these frameworks are, their value in science and industry, and their nearly infinite flexibility to create porous materials.Support the show Support my podcast at https://www.patreon.com/thehistoryofchemistry Tell me how your life...2024-04-1419 min
AND is the Future - Making Businesses Sustainable AND ProfitableChemistry AND Curiosity: Professor Omar Yaghi on chemistry as a global solutionIn this episode, Ilham sits down with the winner of Syensqo's 2024 Ernest Solvay Prize, Omar Yaghi. Omar has used his passion for Science to change the course of the future with his discovery of reticular chemistry. His pioneering work is making a positive impact on our planet, purifying our water, air and fuel for generations to come. His research has inspired further development of new materials and sparked discoveries that can help solve major problems such as CO2 capture, hydrogen storage, water harvesting and gas purification. Omar shares Syensqo’s passion for exploration and innovation, alwa...2024-03-1933 min
