Academics at Heriot-Watt University, alongside colleagues from Georgia State University and the Georgia Institute of Technology in the U.S., intend to capture and recycle this untapped source by using the principles of physics. Rachel Kuske, professor and chair fo the School of Mathematics, is one of the principal investigators for the project, which is also featured in Scottish Construction Now, FutureScot, The Herald Scotland, Digit, and Bridge Design and Engineering.
