Have you ever wondered where the different chemical elements come from? URI's Forensic Science Seminar Series celebrated its 25th year last year. The annual series takes place in the Beaupre Center on Friday afternoons. Today's lecture will examine take guests from the Big Bang all the way to cell phone and battery production. URI Chemical Engineering alumnus Frank Puglia, a NASA Solar System Ambassador, has more than 30 years’ experience in the design, development and production of energy storage systems for advanced applications ranging from the Mars Rovers, Landers, and Science Laboratory to batteries for the next generation of fighter aircraft. He has authored and coauthored numerous papers with various NASA and Navy and Air Force researchers. Mr. Puglia recently returned to URI as an adjunct professor and to complete his PhD degree. He is a regular presenter at Frosty Drew Observatory. During this talk, Mr. Puglia will review the different nuclear physics of how each element is formed and then how Earth’s geological processes helped concentrate these elements into minable ores. A sample of all the ores needed for modern energy storage systems will be on display (from Gold ore, to Lithium ore, to Uranium ore). Many of these elements, especially the Rare Earth Elements (REE)), are at the center of geopolitical conflict so it’s a good time to learn where they come from, why they’re needed and how they got to where they are.
