Green Technology

We rely on batteries now more than ever, from our phones and laptops to electric vehicles. But the ones powering today’s technologies aren’t without their shortcomings. They can be expensive, flammable, and they rely on […]

Picture dusk falling somewhere in the Solomon Islands. A fisher’s skiff glides home using a whisper-quiet electric outboard motor. In the Cook Islands, a big battery steadies the island grid. In Papua New Guinea’s highlands, […]

Researchers have achieved a new level of control over the atomic structure of a family of materials known as halide perovskites, creating a finely tuned “energy sandwich” that could transform how solar cells, LEDs and […]

A new study shows that lithium—a critical element used in rechargeable batteries and susceptible to supply chain disruption—can be recovered from battery waste using an electrochemically driven recovery process. The method has been tested on […]

The world’s oil market is experiencing a period of imbalance as growing supply outstrips demand despite stronger deliveries to China, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said Thursday.This post was originally published on this site.

Thanks to novel flat membranes, biogas can be processed directly and energy-efficiently—even in small plants. In the Bio4Value project, the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP in the Potsdam Science Park, together with KS […]

Professor Dong-Myeong Shin and his team from the Department of Mechanical Engineering under the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) shed light on the contribution of ions in electric charge transfer, […]

By turning wastewater sludge into biocoal and green hydrogen, EU researchers are helping reduce the steel industry’s environmental impact.This post was originally published on this site.

Engineers at the University of California, Davis, have invented a device that can generate mechanical power at night by linking the natural warmth around us to the cold depths of space. The invention could be […]

We’ve heard a lot of talk about critical minerals recently. These are the metals and elements crucially important to the advanced technologies we have all become accustomed to: our mobile phones, electric vehicles (EVs), our […]
