Fateme Baneshi, Isabel Espejo Díaz, and Marta Lacuna Mohedano, three entrepreneurs from the UC3M Science Park, have been recognized as STEAM Role Models by APTE. They exemplify entrepreneurial drive in STEAM disciplines, with projects ranging from AI applications to biotechnology and engineering.
A team of paleontologists used the history of steam engines to test competitive exclusion theory, finding limited evidence supporting its role in extinction. The researchers analyzed data on tractive effort, revealing that newer engines generated more power, making steam locomotives less efficient and eventually obsolete.
Concentrated solar power (CSP) plants use wet cooling methods to dissipate waste heat, but this can lead to significant water loss. A new study developed a radiative cooling system with cold storage that reduces water consumption by up to 85% in hot regions.
