Inspired by electric rays that generate high voltages through stacked electrocytes, researchers at UNIST have developed a novel energy harvesting technology that mimics this biological mechanism. Unlike electric rays, which require mechanical stimulation, this new […]
Power sources used in devices found in or around biological tissue must be flexible and nontoxic, while still powerful enough to support demanding technologies such as medical devices or soft robotics. To achieve this balance, […]
Penn Engineers have developed a novel design for solar-powered data centers that will orbit Earth and could realistically scale to meet the growing demand for AI computing while reducing the environmental impact of data centers.This […]
Sodium-ion batteries are considered a promising, sustainable alternative to lithium-ion batteries. However, high storage losses during the first charging cycle have slowed down their development so far. Researchers at the Federal Institute for Materials Research […]
From subarctic to subtropical, Japan’s varied climates present a challenge for energy-saving housing design. Adding the projected effects of climate change, with temperatures estimated to rise from 1.5 to 3.5°C by the close of the […]
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are known for their impressive ability to convert sunlight into energy, their low production costs and their lightweight design. They may well be the rising stars of renewable energy, but they […]
Engineers at UNSW Sydney have developed a way to monitor solar cells at a microscopic level while they are operating to discover exactly how damage caused by ultraviolet light can be naturally repaired. The new […]
Through a detailed mapping of the operating principles of current geothermal systems, scientists are pointing to vast, largely hidden potential capable of meeting the growing demands of an energy-hungry world.This post was originally published on […]
Fossil fuel-dependent communities in Western Canada sit at the center of Canada’s energy decisions. A just and inclusive clean energy transition will depend on how well governments listen to these communities and how fast they […]
Scientists from the Departments of Inorganic Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of the University of Malaga participated in an international collaboration that has optimized, through artificial intelligence, the process of producing bio-hydrogen from wastewater. It is […]
