A research initiative at the University of Wyoming School of Energy Resources (SER) that explores novel uses for Wyoming coal has hit a tangible milestone: harvesting large carrots using coal char as a soil amendment.

The ongoing study, titled “Carrot yield enhancement using coal char as a soil amendment in Wyoming soil,” is evaluating how pyrolyzed coal (coal char) influences root crop production and soil physical properties in both greenhouse and field environments.

Autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis transform the body’s immune system from protector to attacker, often causing painful long-term symptoms.

As rheumatoid arthritis (RA) progresses, it leads to increasingly severe joint inflammation, which can result in permanent damage. Currently, there’s no cure for the disease.
