Geological storage of carbon dioxide has the potential for significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

While the fundamental scientific underpinnings of CO2 storage build on a century-long exploration of the physics of multiphase flow in porous media, there are aspects that remain unexplored and warrant further investigation. Read more…

How do fish and other marine species find forever homes? How long do they remain drifters?

Adults spawn and release eggs that hatch into larvae that temporarily join the drifting communities of the open ocean, plankton. What happens from there is not easy to study–larvae are tiny; almost invisible, and the ocean is huge. Read more…

For the first second of time, long before the emergence of planets, stars, or galaxies, our universe was a hot primordial soup of “elementary” particles like quarks.  Encoded in this formless, shapeless quark soup were the imprints of events from an even earlier epoch—the very beginning of the universe.  Read more…

Opening Day may seem far in the distant future, but that doesn’t stop us from counting down the days until pitchers and catchers report for the spring season, and for the official start of spring training.

But there is no better way to celebrate the Cubs’ World Series than taking a closer look at what happens on the ballfield: Why does Jon Lester’s curveball curve? How did David Ross handle all those fastballs? And what’s the quickest way for Dexter Fowler to run around the bases? Read more…

C2ST is partnering with AKHAN Semiconductor, Warren Township High School, the Village of Gurnee and College of Lake County for Lake County’s first-ever hackathon
