During the First World War, the British government was looking for ways to help people stretch their limited food supplies. It found pamphlets from a noted 19th-century herbalist who said rhubarb leaves could be used […]
New research led by Colorado State University highlights a critical need for system-level thinking and innovation in shaping the electric power grid of the future. Professor Zongjie Wang recently published a paper in Scientific Reports […]
Buildings researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have released a new AI-driven, autonomous bot that could help speed up the energy modeling process for commercial building construction. Long before construction begins, […]
A new sustainable approach to energy harvesting could transform how wasted heat is turned into electricity, thanks to a breakthrough in low-cost, flexible materials developed by researchers at the University of Surrey’s Advanced Technology Institute […]
Compact heat exchangers could enable advanced nuclear reactors that are smaller, more efficient and more affordable—but a critical step in their adoption is verifying they can withstand the high temperatures and possibly high pressures in […]
Recycled plastics are promoted on everything from water bottles and fleece jackets to shopping bags and yogurt cups: “This product is made with XX% recycled plastic.” Verifying such claims, however, is another matter because there […]
Researchers at UNIST, in collaboration with the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL) and KAIST, have introduced a novel approach to stabilizing high-capacity battery materials. By intentionally inducing atomic-level disorder within lithium-rich layered oxide (LRLO) cathodes, the […]
When a nuclear plant reaches the end of its life or is damaged, it must be decommissioned. This process can take more than 20 years and includes decontamination, dismantling, and handling radioactive materials so the […]
I remember sitting very close to the television as a child and seeing the image was made up of tiny colored dots, each of which broke down into miniature vertical strips of red, green and […]
Scientists at the University of Sharjah have developed a new machine learning model capable of predicting whether a driver is likely to be involved in an accident before getting behind the wheel. Road accidents are […]
