Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have created a molecule that naturally forms p/n junctions, structures that are vital for converting sunlight into electricity. Their findings offer a promising shortcut to producing more efficient organic thin-film solar […]
Hydrogen, a clean energy source, requires a highly reliable and safe storage system, which is currently lacking. Layered hydrogen silicane (L-HSi) is a promising, safe, lightweight, and energy-efficient solid-state hydrogen carrier with potential for practical […]
Demand is booming for batteries that are faster, thinner and cheaper. We want electric cars and bikes that travel further, devices that last longer, charge quicker and cost less. Today, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) set the […]
The global push for clean energy often highlights high-tech solutions in wealthy countries. But a team at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) is proving that simple, clever ideas—inspired by chess, secondhand batteries, and fair […]
Silicon is an attractive negative electrode (anode) material for future lithium-ion batteries because it can store much more energy than the graphite used today. However, silicon expands and shrinks dramatically during charging and discharging. This […]
President Donald Trump’s campaign against offshore wind power in the U.S. sustained major setbacks last week when three different judges blocked enforcement of a government ban and allowed projects in New York, Rhode Island and […]
Comprehensive guidance about the design of permanent bamboo structures has been published by the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE).This post was originally published on this site.
A study from Edinburgh Business School at Heriot-Watt University found that while hydrogen production, storage and fuel cell technologies are advancing rapidly, the hydrogen distribution infrastructure is developing at half the speed, creating a critical […]
Touch the back of a laptop and it often feels warm. This is because part of the energy used for computation and communication escapes to the outside as heat. Yet even this “waste heat” still […]
Scientists have discovered a new quantum state of matter that connects two significant areas of physics, potentially leading to advancements in computing, sensing and materials science.This post was originally published on this site.
