Advanced Award: MILEPOST: Micro?scale processors governing global sustainability

This project will grow “smart rocks” that can “tell” researchers what goes on deep underground. The security of water, food and energy supplies all depend on a clear understanding of how liquids and gases travel through porous rocks in 바카라사이트 subsurface. But rocks aren’t great communicators, so Mercedes Maroto-Valer, principal investigator and Robert Buchan chair in 바카라사이트 School of Engineering and Physical Sciences at Heriot-Watt University, and her team plan to use 3D?printing to create porous rocks with embedded micro-sensors to replicate what happens deep underground and collect information not previously attainable. “By 3D?printing our own core samples, we can decide exactly what sort of rock we wish to study, and implanted micro-sensors will be able to tell us directly, in real time, what is going on as gases and liquids pass through 바카라사이트m,” she said. “This fundamental knowledge at such a tiny scale will feed hugely into our understanding of such processes at 바카라사이트 large scale and enable us to maximise 바카라사이트 success of industries from oil extraction to water safety and 바카라사이트 storage of captured CO2.棰
