Dr. Tarek Awad, a researcher in U of T’s Department of Materials Science & Engineering, shows two samples: at left, a stainless steel surface treated to trap simple cooking oil, and at right, an uncoated surface. The uncoated surface can accumulate food residue and encourage the growth of food-borne pathogens. (Credit: Liz Do)

Phil De Luna (MSE PhD candidate) is first author on an analysis of how researchers could capture and recycle the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. "If we continue to work at this, it’s a matter of time before we have power plants where CO2 is emitted, captured, and converted,” says De Luna. (Credit: Tyler Irving)
