A research team led by Prof. Yoonseob Kim, Associate Professor of the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has reported a significant breakthrough in lithium […]
Expectations are rising for all-solid-state batteries—the “dream battery” with low fire risk—not only for electric vehicles but also for various fields such as robotics and Urban Air Mobility (UAM). A research team at KAIST has […]
South Africa would seem like the perfect place for widespread uptake of solar energy. The country is sunny, with high solar generation potential. Solar is a clean, reliable source of power that can help people […]
Energy bills in the UK are still expected to rise in the coming months, putting more pressure on household budgets despite the shaky ceasefire in the Gulf.This post was originally published on this site.
Switching Hawaiʻi’s power plants from oil to liquefied natural gas (LNG) may not deliver the dramatic drop in electricity prices that some proposals promise, according to a new analysis by the University of Hawaiʻi Economic […]
On many coastlines around the world, piles of discarded oyster and mussel shells are a common sight—the leftovers of a global seafood industry that produces millions of tonnes of waste each year. At the same […]
Recent progress in advanced energy manufacturing has opened a new path for lithium battery design. A joint research team led by Associate Professor Eric Jianfeng Cheng of Tohoku University has published a review in Materials […]
Hydrogen is a clean-burning gas that could help to tackle climate change by reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. But storing and transporting hydrogen is expensive and technically challenging, typically requiring high-pressure gas tanks or […]
A new study tracking 25 European countries from 2017 to 2023 documents a problematic reality: when droughts strike, hydropower and other renewables don’t work as well as they might. As a result, countries have to […]
Cement production is responsible for around 8% of global carbon dioxide emissions, primarily due to the production of Portland cement. In response to this environmental challenge, geopolymers—materials obtained through the alkaline activation of natural aluminosilicates—have […]
