Engineering Innovation episodes
- Benefit of HurricanesHurricanes like Dorian are locally devastating and likely more will come this season. But researchers say there is a silver lining to the storms.0 min
- Extreme Wind TurbinesWind turbines are getting a redesign at the University of Virginia…inspired by the way palm trees withstand storms.0 min
- GeoengineeringIt would be the largest engineering project ever. Researchers are considering ways to actively cool the planet in case global warming gets out of control.0 min
- Mars Life SupportMars has a harsh environment. So, in anticipation of human travel there, engineers are working on ways to make parts of the planet more hospitable for life.0 min

- Bio WallMost of us spend the large majority of our time indoors, where the air is often more polluted than outdoors. Now one engineer wants to incorporate some nature into the workings of our homes.0 min
- Urban Climate PlanningWhile today’s temperature in D-C is extreme, cities around the world are generally getting warmer…not only because of a climate change, but because urban infrastructure creates and traps heat.0 min
- Souped-up PlantsNature’s plants take in carbon dioxide and use it to grow. But they can’t keep up with the amount of C-O-2 that we pump into the air by burning fossil fuels.0 min
- Sniffing Out Email ScammersE-mail scams are the number one global cybercrime, but a newly engineered search tool is now being deployed to reveal the crooks.0 min
- Plastic Waste CrisisLast year, China imposed a ban on plastic waste being sent there for recycling. Engineers are assessing the impacts and working on remedies for dealing with all of our plastic trash.0 min
