The EU unveiled dozens of projects Tuesday to ramp up extraction of critical raw materials in Europe as the bloc seeks to reduce its over-reliance on China.This post was originally published on this site.
Solar cells convert sunlight into clean energy—but if the solar cells themselves are made of toxic materials, it almost defeats the purpose. That’s where tin sulfide (SnS) comes in. SnS is an environmentally friendly, naturally […]
Fossil-fuel plants are increasingly being forced to stop and start production in response to changes in output from renewables. In a new study, researchers developed a dynamic competitive benchmark that accounts for startup costs and […]
A research team led by Prof. Ge Ziyi from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering from the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a low-crystallinity guest acceptor, D-IDT, using a tin-free direct C–H […]
It takes 10 times more electricity for ChatGPT to respond to a prompt than for Google to carry out a standard search. Still, researchers are struggling to get a grasp on the energy implications of […]
Researchers have developed a novel combination of materials that have organic and inorganic properties, with the goal of using them in technologies that convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into a liquid fuel. The paper, […]
EU researchers are using AI to help ease the flow in Europe’s cities, making urban environments both safer and greener.This post was originally published on this site.
A research team has developed a technology that can significantly increase the efficiency of eco-friendly solar cells. The solar cells they developed showed increased power conversion efficiency of up to 8.26%, compared with conventional solar […]
Concrete is everywhere. As the world’s most widely used construction material, it forms bridges, buildings, roads and other infrastructure. But concrete, and its primary ingredient, cement, are responsible for roughly 8% of the world’s CO2 […]
As the world makes more use of renewable energy sources, new battery technology is needed to store electricity for the times when the sun isn’t shining, and the wind isn’t blowing.This post was originally published […]
