As demand for rare earth elements increases, the United States is strengthening its domestic supply chain. Ana Inés Torres is working to identify economical processes that will minimize environmental impacts.This post was originally published on […]
A small team of engineers from the U.S., Chile and Ireland has found a way to extract more water from drier air, allowing for water production in arid places like the Atacama Desert. Their paper […]
Europe’s largest “green” methanol plant opened in Denmark on Tuesday, boosting the continent’s emissions reduction efforts—with customers ranging from shipping giant Maersk to toymaker Lego and pharmaceutical firm Novo Nordisk.This post was originally published on […]
Keeping the nation’s lights on is no small job. The grid we take for granted involves large, expensive equipment, most notably power transformers. If one goes down, it can take more than a year to […]
As Europe’s energy system faces new challenges and accelerates green and digital transitions, generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is emerging as a transformative enabler for critical infrastructure—and is already unlocking “quick wins” across Europe’s energy landscape, […]
In solar science, a little structural harmony goes a long way. By finding the atomic equivalent of a perfect handshake between two types of perovskite—a class of crystalline materials prized for their ability to convert […]
A group of researchers affiliated with the Center for Innovation in New Energies (CINE) has developed a method for purifying materials that is simple, economical and has a low environmental impact. The scientists have managed […]
Water scarcity remains one of the most pressing global challenges, affecting over two billion people worldwide. With population growth and climate change further exacerbating this problem, scientists are turning to seawater desalination as a promising […]
Researchers from the University of Oklahoma have made significant advances in a promising technology for efficient energy conversion and chemical processing. Two recent studies involving protonic ceramic electrochemical cells, called PCECs, address significant challenges in […]
The present century has witnessed a proactive shift toward more sustainable forms of energy, including renewable resources such as solar power, wind, nuclear energy, and geothermal energy. These technologies naturally require robust energy storage systems […]
