In an effort to meet the rising energy demands of data centers, engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new chip design that could improve how graphics processing units (GPUs) convert […]
A study analyzing data from thousands of Brazilian municipalities identified regions with the greatest potential for producing and using green hydrogen, a fuel considered strategic for decarbonizing emission-intensive industrial sectors. While the research shows that […]
UNSW researchers have redesigned hydrogen fuel cells to solve a critical flaw, bringing clean energy for aviation, heavy transport and beyond closer to reality. Hydrogen fuel cells, using locally produced green hydrogen as the only […]
XPANCEO, a deep-tech company developing smart contact lenses, has unveiled a passive eye-tracking system that achieves industry-level measurement precision using standard cameras. The system employs microscopic patterns embedded in contact lenses that enable high-accuracy passive […]
A new policy brief from Ball State University’s Center for Business and Economic Research (CBER) examines how county-level restrictions on utility-scale wind and solar development in Indiana are associated with employment, gross domestic product, and […]
Some batteries have been known to catch fire or explode at high temperatures or when under stress. This safety concern has pushed researchers to experiment with different ways to design safer batteries that can ideally […]
Thermoelectric (TE) materials, which can directly convert heat into electricity and vice versa, are attracting significant attention as key energy technologies for applications such as electronic cooling and waste heat recovery. A research team led […]
Travelers will soon face restrictions on how many portable chargers they can carry on a flight as airlines continue to try to reduce the risk of another lithium battery fire aboard their jets.This post was […]
In many countries, hydropower provides a dominant share of the electricity supply. This dependence brings environmental benefits and competitive costs, but it also creates a vulnerability: When droughts occur or rainfall patterns change, the available […]
For many people living in developed nations, towns and cities take care of ensuring that residents’ water is clean and safe. Municipalities have advanced filters and UV light disinfection technologies at their disposal. Some households […]
