Has spurred investment in air filtering for K-12 schools

 A survey on infrastructure reported that more than one-third of nearly 100,000 public school buildings in the U.S. need immediate upgrades to ventilation systems. These improvements are required in order to control indoor air pollution and the spread of “aerosols.” Aerosols are microscopic particles in the air that float both indoors and outdoors. Aerosols are constantly exhaled and inhaled by people, including […]

Cities must innovate to improve transportation to reduce emissions

In order to tackle the persistent challenge of reducing emissions from transportation, cities must rely on alternatives that do not require cars, such as active transportation and public transit. In order to take advantage of disruptive technologies in transportation, like ride-hailing applications, cities must also engage effectively with private companies. Urban pundits are divided on this issue. However, my research […]

The impact of the coronavirus on global economic growth

The virus continues to cause human suffering in China and elsewhere, but it also affects different industries. This causes uncertainty about the global economy as the virus reduces demand and disrupts supply. SARS vs. Covid-19 In the last 20 years, China has been infected by the coronavirus family twice.

As the number of cars on U.S. roads decreases, it is time to rethink how we use our roadways

In March, when stay-at-home orders were implemented in many areas of the U.S., parking lots and streets seemed to disappear overnight. In just a few days, cities across the U.S. began repurposing these spaces for other purposes that better-suited people. Since I became a professor in environmental design and transportation, I have spent decades trying to understand the factors that keep people dependent on […]

English women’s travel writing in the 19th Century

These protagonists are often described as “rebellious,” courageous,” ambitious,” brave,” “queens,” or even “adventurous.” These women are the inspiration of today’s screenwriters, artists, and filmmakers who, for whatever reason, want to tell a different story about women’s history. Their stories inspire some, while others find them almost unbelievable. Weren’t Victorian women very repressed? The writings of these women travelers, in […]

Time travel and quantum physics to try to restore the world.

How can Avengers Endgame, which is in cinemas this week, try to bring these characters back? Time travel is a tried-and-tested movie plot device. There’s also a surprising amount of scientific jargon, such as quantum physics, Deutsch proposals, eigenvalues, and inverted Mobius strips. Read more: We did a breakthrough’ speed test’ in quantum tunneling, and here’s why that’s exciting. But don’t think that everything you hear […]

Curious kids: Is time travel possible for human beings

I wish! In movies and books, characters use “time-turners,” treehouses, and other devices to travel back in time. In reality, this is not so easy. Why is this? There are two kinds of “time-travel”: one is going backward in time, and the other is going forwards in time. Harry and Hermione, the characters in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, […]

The Supreme Court’s possible ruling on Trump’s travel Ban

The Supreme Court has determined that it will hear two legal challenges against President Donald Trump’s revised travel ban. The executive orders Trump issued in March, among other things, temporarily bar the entry of citizens from six countries with a majority Muslim population: Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, and Yemen. In cases stemming from Maryland or Hawaii, lower courts blocked the application of the Ban to […]
