Algae, photosynthetic bacteria, and plants convert water and CO₂ to carbohydrates and oxygen when sunlight is present. When there is no sunlight, non-photosynthetic organisms combine the oxygen and carbohydrates back to form CO₂, water, and energy. Imbalances occur during these processes when carbon compounds are removed from the carbon cycle for a very long time…

Did you know Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) is an essential component to all life on earth? Algae, photosynthetic bacteria, and plants convert water and CO₂ to carbohydrates and oxygen when sunlight is present. When there is no sunlight, non-photosynthetic organisms combine the oxygen and carbohydrates back to form CO₂, water, and energy. Imbalances occur during these…

Water, the source of all life, is facing an unprecedented crisis. The United Nations reports that over 2 billion people live in countries experiencing high water stress, a number projected to grow with climate change. The challenge isn’t just finding more water, it’s about becoming radically more intelligent with the water we have. AI is…

This experiment evaluated the numerical accuracy of nine different AI models in solving a set of five technical problems. Each question was asked five times, using identical wording, to measure consistency and accuracy. The questions are similar to the type of questions an environmental engineer would be asked when taking the Professional Engineering exam. The…
