Capstone Team Developing a CO2 Sensor to Help Farmers
A challenge many corn farmers face is preventing and detecting the spread of Aspergillus in silos or other grain storages. Aspergillus is dangerous to consume because it produces an aflatoxin that can cause liver cancer and cannot be exported. Having entire storages of corn become infected can be devastating for farmers and a huge loss of income, so developing methods to detect early spread of Aspergillus is extremely important.

Protecting polar bears aim of new and improved radar technology
Research testing new technology to more effectively locate polar bear dens across the Arctic is showing promising results. Researchers from Simon Fraser University and Brigham Young University (BYU), collaborating with Polar Bears International, hope that improving detection tools to locate dens—which are nearly invisible and buried under snow—will help efforts to protect mother polar bears and their cubs.

Ant Annihilation Build Nights
Each Thursday night, students and alumni gather at build nights to work on their battle bots for the upcoming Ant Annihilation competition. The students and alumni work in teams and have each built their own unique battle bots with different fighting mechanisms and parts. However, all of the battle bots must weigh 1 pound or 453 grams at the most and must pass the safety check in one month.
