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 […]
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have provided the first comprehensive analysis of the specific costs of power outages to local customers across the nation. It found that the average yearly […]
Although the topic of AI is seemingly inescapable, its stunning environmental impacts remain mostly hidden. New studies reveal a clearer picture—one that should spur us to take action this year. Evidence shows that AI’s carbon […]
Renewable energy is lowering electricity costs in some parts of the country, but those benefits aren’t being seen by consumers everywhere because they’re typically placed far away from demand centers. Better integrating electricity transmission networks […]
The construction industry is one of the most polluting due to its high contribution to CO2 emissions. In addition to its significant environmental cost, its materials are made from nonrenewable resources such as sand and […]
Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that directly convert chemical energy from a fuel into electrical energy. Unlike batteries, which only store electricity, fuel cells can continuously generate electricity as long as both fuel and air […]
The first survey of Canadian consumers regarding their purchase and disposal of electronics reveals that 64% of people replace their items for reasons other than the device breaking down or being obsolete. This behavior points […]
Green hydrogen—the cornerstone of net zero strategies around the world—could fail in becoming a truly sustainable fuel unless countries rapidly decarbonize their energy grids, according to research led by the University of Sheffield. In a […]
