New Local Engine to Produce Low-Cost Electricity, Conserve Energy

AUC faculty headed by Ehab Abdel Rahman, along with postdoctoral fellows and 10 graduate students, have recently devised a thermoacoustic heat engine to convert thermal energy into acoustic, or sound, energy, to eventually produce electricity.

Thermoacoustic engines require little maintenance, and are highly reliable and inexpensive to produce.
The thermoacoustic heat engine produced by AUC researchers operates in an environmentally friendly medium using air or noble gas.

Red Sea Genomics, Microbial Life

Utilizing metagenomics, a contemporary approach to instigate biological life, Rania Siam, associate professor of biology, and her team explore microbial life in several brine pools in the Red Sea to identify novel microbes and bacterial communities and their associated genes, as well as map new genes that have diverse biotechnological and pharmaceutical applications.
