A team of UConn College of Engineering (CoE) researchers, led by Burcu Beykal, assistant professor in CoE’s Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, have been studying methods for extracting lithium from different sources, including brines […]
A team of UCLA engineers and researchers has developed a new technique to make it feel up to 10 degrees Fahrenheit cooler outside while preserving a sense of safe and open space.This post was originally […]
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are regarded as a promising next-generation solution for large-scale energy storage due to their advantages such as high safety, low cost, and environmental friendliness. However, under high-rate and long-cycling conditions, Zn […]
The artificial intelligence industry is scrambling to reduce its massive energy consumption through better cooling systems, more efficient computer chips, and smarter programming—all while AI usage explodes worldwide.This post was originally published on this site.
The energy transition poses challenges for countries, cities, and regions. The use of sustainable sources of energy is key to halting climate change. At the same time, the costs of the energy system must not […]
Engineering researchers at the University of Alberta have found a way to make rechargeable, environmentally friendly water-based batteries perform far better than those currently available.This post was originally published on this site.
A promising industrial process can turn crushed sugar cane waste into green hydrogen far more efficiently than previously thought, shows a SECLG process simulation from the University of Johannesburg. The study is published in Renewable […]
The world produces over 92 million tons of textile waste annually, much of it made from synthetic materials that can linger for centuries. Add to that the surge in wearable electronics—smartwatches, fitness trackers, sensor-laden garments—and […]
Workmen plant electricity poles in the rust-orange earth of the Navajo Nation and run cables to Christine Shorty’s house—finally giving her power against the searing Arizona desert heat.This post was originally published on this site.
A team of McGill University researchers, working with colleagues in the United States and South Korea, has developed a new way to make high-performance lithium-ion battery materials that could help phase out expensive and/or difficult-to-source […]
