The lecture will explore the role of technology in promoting environmental sustainability. It focuses on the development and implementation of innovative technologies that can help address environmental challenges and contribute to a more sustainable future.We are developing green technologies to benefit sustainable environment, which will enable people and the environment to prosper together. The Center for Filtration Research (CFR) at the University of Minnesota, collaborating with 20 leading international filtration manufacturers and end users, was established to develop green technologies to mitigate PM2.5, VOCs, ozone and other environmental pollutants. CFR investigators perform fundamental and applied research on air, gas and liquid filtration. The current research projects include indoor air cleaning and Covid prevention, bioaerosols sensor development and evaluation, nanofiber production and modeling, nanotechnology and instrumentation developments, among others. Large-scale air cleaning towers are established in Xi’an and Yancheng in China, and two additional towers in Delhi, India. They are developed to mitigate PM2.5 pollutants in urban air. The second-generation tower in Yancheng is developed to reduce not only the PM2.5 but also CO2 in the atmosphere. The construction of a set of large-scale air cleaning towers to capture 16 million tons of CO2 annually is proposed. All these research and development activities are helping to improve sustainable environment.

A rapidly expanding research area involves the development of routes to shape programmable three-dimensional (3D) structures with feature sizes in the mesoscopic range (that is, between tens of nanometres and hundreds of micrometres). A goal is to establish methods to control the properties of materials systems and the function of devices, through not only static architectures, but also morphable structures and shape-shifting processes. Soft matter equipped with responsive components can switch between designed shapes, but cannot support the types of dynamic morphing capabilities needed to reproduce continuous shape-shifting processes of interest for many applications. Challenges lie in the establishment of 3D assembly/fabrication techniques compatible with wide classes of materials and 3D geometries, and schemes to program target shapes after fabrication.
In this talk, Prof. HUANG Yonggang will introduce a mechanics-guided assembly approach that exploits controlled buckling for constructing complex 3D micro/nanostructures from patterned two-dimensional (2D) micro/nanoscale precursors that can be easily formed using established semiconductor technologies. This approach applies to a very broad set of materials (e.g., semiconductors, polymers, metals, and ceramics) and even their heterogeneous integration, over a wide range of length scales (e.g., from 100 nm to 10 cm). To allow realisation of 3D mesostructures that are capable of qualitative shape reconfiguration, Prof. HUANG devises a loading-path controlled strategy that relies on elastomer platforms deformed in different time sequences to elastically alter the 3D geometries of supported mesostructures via nonlinear buckling. Prof. HUANG will also introduce a recent work on shape programmable soft surface, constructed from a matrix of filamentary metal traces, driven by programmable, distributed electromagnetic forces that follow from the passage of electrical currents in the presence of a static magnetic field. Under the guidance of a mechanics model-based strategy to solve the inverse problem, the surface can morph into a wide range of 3D target shapes and shape-shifting processes. The compatibility of these approaches with the state-of-the-art fabrication/processing techniques, along with the versatile capabilities, allow transformation of diverse existing 2D microsystems into complex configurations, providing unusual design options in the development of novel functional devices.

This video is made by Dr. Pearl Lin and Dr. Clare Fung's project, "Great Case of Marketing in the Hospitality and Tourism Industry." A special thanks to Wei Youji, who provided information and insights for this video. This case discusses the conservation and marketing strategy for Longhu Mountain, the ancestral home of Taoism in China. Located in Jiangxi Province, Longhu Mountain is the "No. 1 Town of Taoism in China," rich in cultural, ecological, and tourism resources. The marketing strategy revolves around capitalizing on the growing trends of "great health consumption," deep integration of Chinese culture and immersive experiences, and embracing online platforms to create an "internet celebrity town" for tourists. The ultimate goal is to transform Longhu Mountain and Shangqing Town into an exemplary cultural destination that showcases Taoist history, medicine, and traditions over the next 20 years. However, challenges remain in educating the local populace and visitors about Taoist culture and etiquette.
