Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) researchers have overcome a barrier to using a more affordable, dry process for manufacturing the lithium-ion batteries used in vehicles and electronic devices. The resulting batteries provide greater electricity flow […]
Ancient Roman concrete, which was used to build aqueducts, bridges, and buildings across the empire, has endured for over two thousand years.This post was originally published on this site.
The unseen infrastructure powering artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t digital—it’s physical: massive data centers filled with thousands of computer servers. As the popularity of AI tools continues to grow, it has triggered a once-in-a-generation construction boom […]
Imagine a power plant fueled by heat generated deep beneath your feet, silently providing renewable energy day and night, independent of weather or sunlight. Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) promise exactly this, tapping into Earth’s internal […]
As many New Zealanders contend with condensation, drafts, and mold this winter, a recent study challenges assumptions about what makes a home drier. It urges green building rating tools to clarify how humidity and dampness […]
It is possible to create little to no rubbish from building construction in regional towns, but the chain of responsibility starts at the top with those commissioning a project needing to consider waste reduction from […]
A new “cosmic veil” developed by engineers at the University of Surrey could help perovskite solar cells survive in space, opening a new gateway to lighter, cheaper and more efficient solar power for satellites and […]
In the spring of 2020, a team of engineers at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) embarked on a groundbreaking project to design a microreactor test facility that could transform the world’s energy future.This post was […]
Led by Prof. Dr. Nicola Pinna and Dr. Patrícia Russo from the Department of Chemistry at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (HU), scientists have succeeded in disrupting the atomic order of batteries in a targeted manner. The […]
Offshore wind power could provide far more electricity than the U.S. uses for residential, commercial and industrial purposes. But the federal government has recently stopped approving offshore projects in the ocean.This post was originally published […]
