Hydrology Paper of the Day @corymsimon.bsky.social @chemashlee.bsky.social on passive atmospheric water harvesting via adsorbent nanoporous materials: chemical engineering in the context of regional geography; weather and climate variables in an optimization framework; and modelling water deliveries
💦 in our latest research (with @chemashlee.bsky.social), we framed an optimization problem (a linear program) for designing bespoke mixtures of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for robust, passive atmospheric water harvesting.

Optimizing Mixtures of Metal–Organic Frameworks for Robust and Bespoke Passive Atmospheric Water Harvesting
Atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) is a method to obtain clean water in remote or underdeveloped regions including, but not limited to, those with an arid or desert climate. For passive (i.e., relying...

I would love to know what university leaders say to politicians behind closed doors, because "asbestos is falling on our students' heads and we can't afford to change lightbulbs" doesn't seem to be what they are hearing.
“Canada is the best place to live, and top talent from around the world want to come here because they see opportunities and possibilities to contribute to cutting-edge research”...
...he says while allocating $1.7B to bribe people to move here and cutting grant funding. Unbelievable.

Just a little humble brag. Here's me getting my PhD with my supervisors - Bernard Hoskins and newly minted #NobelPrize Laureate Richard Robson. So thrilled for Richard, and thinking also of Bernard tonight (who passed away many years ago but was a crucial collaborator of Richard's). #Chemsky #ozchem
