Consider the humble rechargeable battery: Many people start their day by unplugging their phone from a charger to check the weather or commute to work, or throw on their favorite podcast. They’ll end the day […]
A cross-disciplinary team at Rice University has developed a new type of electric heating element—one that looks less like a traditional metal coil and more like a high-performance thread. In a study published in Small, […]
What if the thermal noise that hinders the efficiency of both classical and quantum computers could, instead, be used as a power source? What if computers could make use of the noise instead of suppressing […]
Rechargeable batteries are everywhere—from portable electronic devices and electric vehicles to renewable energy storage. Battery failures are often due to the loss or chemical degradation of the electrolyte.This post was originally published on this site.
Taller buildings get a bad rap. New research from University of Toronto Engineering’s Center for the Sustainable Built Environment (CSBE) has found that while adding height does slightly increase embodied emissions, other building and neighborhood […]
A research team has developed a technology to precisely control the concentration of anion defects in eco-friendly quantum dots through joint research. Through this technology, the research team achieved world-class solar hydrogen production efficiency in […]
A research team led by Prof. Seunguk Song from the Department of Energy Science at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), in collaboration with the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), the University of Pennsylvania, and the U.S. Air […]
A joint research team led by Professors Han-Ki Kim and Bo Ram Lee from Sungkyunkwan University’s School of Advanced Materials Science and Engineering has developed a next-generation transparent electrode technology that completely eliminates the use […]
Data centers—the warehouse-sized buildings that store photos, stream movies and train artificial intelligence—are voracious consumers of electricity. A surprisingly large share of that power never reaches a microchip. Instead, it is spent on cooling, hauling […]
Hydrogen is increasingly viewed as a critical energy carrier capable of supporting decarbonization across sectors such as industry, transportation, and power generation. Unlike fossil fuels, hydrogen combustion produces no direct carbon dioxide emissions. However, large-scale […]
