Can rockets be “green?” You might expect rocket scientists to be more concerned with the atmosphere of space than the environmental challenges here on Earth! But Technion scientists aren’t turning a blind eye to what they can do to improve things here at home. On Thursday, August 7th at 6pm, Professor Benveniste (Benny) Natan visits the Jewish Museum of Maryland to share some of his latest research on producing new rocket fuel that is safer to handle and better for the environment. This talk will be one of his few appearances in the US and is presented in partnership with the American Technion Society.
