Imagine zooming between cities in a high-speed transportation pod at 700-
plus miles an hour, all the while levitated above a small pocket of air. Cool,

that very pod, all from scratch and while still an undergraduate student. For
about 80 students at Drexel University, that is out-of-this-world, hyper
cool.

A blob of algae scooped from a fountain on South Street almost two years ago, has seeded a crop of the green stuff that Drexel University researchers claim is more effective at treating wastewater than many of the processes employed in municipal facilities today. The algae is a functional ingredient of a bioreactor system designed by Drexel environmental engineers to remove several chemicals from wastewater at once — shortcutting a process that normally takes multiple steps, expensive ingredients, and a great deal of time.

Days later the U.S. Department of Energy took the first step toward reaching this goal when it announced new energy efficiency standards for commercial air conditioners and furnaces.
