A membrane autopsy can be used to determine what is fouling the membrane and thus prescribe the best methods for cleaning as well as other ways to improve its efficiency.

Nanoparticles have a bright future in new ways with light and photonics. Deanna Lacoste, mechanical engineer at KAUST, has had a longstanding interest in nanoparticles and now, with KAUST support, is sharing that interest with Amal Alamri, electrical engineer from King Abdulaziz University (KAU) and KAUST alumna.

The challenges of food production and global food security require a long-term, multi-pronged approach.

Houses on the KAUST campus will trial an air conditioner that uses little energy

As Saudi Arabia charts a new future, one professor is challenging bright young minds to think how that future could be.

KAUST’s Circular Carbon Initiative (CCI) brings together many disciplines to fill an innovation gap and to support Saudi Arabia in its vision to achieve a circular carbon economy. Through the CCI, KAUST aims to change the carbon narrative to one of reduce, reuse, recycle and remove.

Regenerative medicine and coral restoration are just two of the areas where the emerging field of bioprinting research is having an impact.

Coral reefs are under threat from climate change and human activities, but new ideas are emerging that could help these ecosystems survive.

Supercomputers can work with vast amounts of data by performing computationally intensive tasks rapidly, saving time and money.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is shaking up the art world. A new style of art event shows how machine learning can be applied across artistic fields

With its location on the shores of the Red Sea and an international reputation for marine science, KAUST needs teams of skilled research divers with expertise in identifying key marine species. Now, marine researchers and partners from industry and other institutions can receive internationally accredited dive training on site, while others further develop their expertise in identifying corals.

Lockdown observation and analysis conducted at home have led to a pioneering intellectual framework for predicting the fate of evaporating liquid marbles.

Sampling feces seems like a long way from tackling global challenges, but for one KAUST researcher, it helped to address two very contemporary crises.

Modern research and technology are being used at KAUST to protect this very ancient crop.
