Last night, Christopher Barile, professor of chemistry, reminded us that if we want a more sustainable future, renewable energy has to be a part of the solution. His talk, as part of the Tahoe Series, explored how solutions from CO₂ recycling to smart windows are just some of the ways we can help build more sustainable technologies.

To learn more about energy solutions, chat with Dr. Barile at the Energy Solutions Forum hosted on UNR main campus or at the Tahoe Discovery Lab.

World Algae Day was this week, so we’re taking a closer look at some of the algae living in Lake Tahoe.

At the Lake Tahoe campus, research assistant professor Carina Seitz of the Tahoe Institute for Global Sustainability is studying how particles like these affect the lake’s clarity. She uses an Image Flow Cytometer to examine each one in detail. Swipe to meet a few of them.

Dr. Christopher Barile, the Clemons-Magee Endowed Professor in Chemistry at the University of Nevada, Reno, takes us inside the Barile Laboratory for the next talk in the Tahoe Series. His group uses chemistry and electricity to tackle everyday energy problems.

He will cover two lines of research. The first is turning carbon dioxide into useful fuels and chemicals by designing materials that control how those reactions unfold. The second is a new generation of smart windows that switch between clear and dark with electricity, cutting glare while buildings use less energy for heating, cooling and lighting.

“From CO2 to Smart Windows: Chemistry for a Better Energy Future”

📅 Thursday, Oct. 15
🕠 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
📍 Prim Library

The talk is free. Register or get the Zoom link through the link in our bio.

Earlier this week, a room full of meadow people got together at the University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe to dig into one question: what makes meadows so special?

The workshop, hosted by the Tahoe Institute for Global Sustainability, brought University professors, grad students and alumni to the same table to figure out how to protect meadows, pulling from more than one field at a time.

And there’s a lot worth protecting. Sierra Nevada meadows pull carbon out of the air and store it in their plants and soil, and some of them hold more than 20 million kilograms of it. They filter water, keep watersheds healthy and give a huge mix of plants and animals a place to live. Some meadow plants even start photosynthesizing under the snow, while it’s still freezing out.

Ying Yang, Ph.D., a professor for the Department of Chemistry for @unrscience, explains what polymers are and how they are important in everyday life.

Yang’s research looks at how to make polymers that mimic organic material as well as how to make them more sustainable.
