Did you know that asphalt emits cancerous toxins? Associate Professor Ellie Fini and her research team know how to reduce the health risks of asphalt through a new mixture known as AirDuo. Read more here: ow.ly/1YfB50PPUbe #construction #ASU #engineering #environment

New asphalt binder alternative is less toxic, more sustainable than conventional blend

Asphalt is primarily known for use in roadways, but it's also used to pave playgrounds, bicycle paths, running tracks and tennis and basketball courts—all platforms for activities where breathing...

Explore Psyche, the metallic asteroid! Unlike any other celestial body, it's predominantly metal and may answer questions surrounding planet formation. As ASU's mission nears the Oct. 5 launch, here's why researchers are interested in #MissionToPsyche:
"Why this asteroid?" and "Why NASA has their sights set on Psyche."

ALT "Why this asteroid?" and "Why NASA has their sights set on Psyche."

1 Exploring a metal world. Psyche might be the partial core of a shattered planetesimal, the first building block of a planet. It's the only planetary body we know of that is made not of rock or ice but of metal.

2 A window into the Earth's core. Since Earth's core lies unreachably far below the planet's rocky mantle and crust, Psyche may be the only way humans will ever gain insight into how rocky worlds are formed.

3 First surface photos (for the gram) Humans have never taken a picture of the surface of a metal object. We don't know whether pieces of the asteroid are metal or if they are large flat plains or broken up by faults.

Australian researchers recently discovered that a macro #algae added to animal feed stops gut bacteria from producing gas. The burps and flatulence of livestock, which constitute 15% of greenhouse gases, were reduced by 50 to 85 percent! #FunFact
