So-called forever chemicals lurk in tap water in all 50 states and more than half of American homes. Inside an ASU laboratory, researchers have rendered the toxic chemicals biodegradable — and harmless.

Conservation at a global scale — it’s necessary, but how do we make it possible? ASU’s environmental experts are pushing the limits of technology to get actionable insights faster.

ASU researchers are creating an interactive digital tool that will showcase the impacts of the Colorado River shortage and the effects of water policy decisions in a format that anyone can access and understand.

Thanks to its top-notch facilities, researchers and graduates, ASU is helping turn Arizona into a microelectronics hub. Here, ASU experts share insights about this surreal field of microchips the size of dust mites, water too clean to drink, delicately layered wafers, desperate global demand and a renewable energy revolution.

A new year is traditionally a time for looking forward, but in these challenging times, it can be exhausting to stay hopeful about the future. For a dose of optimism, we asked researchers at ASU to share what gives them hope from within their research fields.
