More than 200 years ago, the steam boiler helped spark the Industrial Revolution. Since then, steam has been the lifeblood of industrial activity around the world. Today the production of steam—created by burning gas, oil, […]
Abe Silverman, an assistant research scholar with the Ralph O’Connor Sustainable Energy Institute and attorney, studies and advises academics, industry, and state and federal regulators on barriers to the clean energy transition, including the impacts […]
The key to future technologies can sometimes be found in the past. What Ravi Kishore is working to perfect, for example, has its origins in the 19th century imaginations of Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison.This […]
A new material provides high-performance conversion of heat into electricity, offering a way to make electronic devices more efficient.This post was originally published on this site.
The war in Ukraine sent shockwaves through Europe’s energy system, exposing how deeply the region depends on imported natural gas, and how vulnerable that dependence can be during geopolitical crises. A new Cornell-led study finds […]
Researchers from the School of Engineering at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have pioneered a mechanical bond strategy to create quasi-solid-state electrolytes (QSSEs) for lithium-metal batteries (LMBs). This marks the first […]
UNSW engineers have made a major step forward in the development of a new type of solar cell that could help make future solar panels cheaper, more efficient and more durable.This post was originally published […]
Researchers have developed a breakthrough method to recover high-purity nickel, cobalt, manganese and lithium from spent lithium-ion batteries using a mild, sustainable solvent.This post was originally published on this site.
A new set of simple equations can fast-track the search for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a Nobel-Prize-winning class of nanoporous materials that are promising candidates for clean hydrogen energy storage. With millions of possible MOFs to […]
A new type of circuit board which is almost entirely biodegradable could help reduce the environmental harms of electronic waste, its inventors say.This post was originally published on this site.
