Science Cafe in Canton and Potsdam to focus on stopping global warning

Posted

"Stopping Global Warming with Advanced Porous Materials" will be discussed at the next Science Cafe meetings in Canton and Potsdam.

The next cafe will be held Tuesday, March 24, at 7:15 p.m. in the Park View Common Room, above the Blackbird Cafe, 107 Main St. in Canton and on Wednesday, March 25, at 7:15 p.m. in the Potsdam Civic Center Community Room, 2 Park St.

With the annual release of billions of tons of CO2 to our atmosphere, the threat of global warming is real. Using “green” energy sources such as hydrogen-fuel cells, our cars would emit just pure water.

Wriedt says that we need advanced porous materials to store these alternative fuels and also to capture CO2 from our atmosphere.

Join Wriedt as he describes his lab’s research into porous materials design and their characterization through X-ray methods.

The speaker will make a short presentation and then open up the floor to discussion.
