  • Plastic recycling with coal

    Plastic recycling with coal
    2026/10/05
    Plastic recycling is difficult for a simple reason: Plastics are designed to last. Penn State researchers are testing whether tiny particles of Pennsylvania anthracite coal can absorb laser light and deliver targeted heat to break polymer bonds. If successful, the approach could use less energy, require less sorting, and make more types of plastic easier to recycle.

  • Resilient power grid planning

    Resilient power grid planning
    2026/07/01
    As electricity demand grows and becomes harder to predict, power grid planners face a difficult question: how do they build for a future shaped by extreme weather, renewable energy, and the rapid rise of data centers? A new research project is developing tools to help planners identify the most important risks without having to model every possible future. The work could help utilities make better long-term infrastructure decisions while reducing the chances of costly overbuilding or major power outages.

    Managing India's groundwater crisis
    2026/04/01
    India is the world's largest groundwater-based economy, with more than half its 1.5 billion population depending on agriculture for their livelihoods — making groundwater depletion a critical threat. Researchers are investigating the Atal Bhujal Yojana, a $500 million World Bank–supported national program that takes a community-led, "inside-out" approach to groundwater management. But can village committees manage this resource sustainably and equitably? And what happens when the program is cut short?
