Tech firms are floating the idea of building data centers in space and tapping into the sun’s energy to meet out-of-this-world power demands in a fierce artificial intelligence race.This post was originally published on this […]
Turning waste carbon into useful products is a vital part of sustainable manufacturing. Recycling carbon dioxide creates carbon monoxide, which through electricity can be converted into energy-rich compounds. However, existing devices for this process use […]
Researchers have managed to modify a class of proteins to give them the ability to transport and store electricity. These proteins can be used to create sustainable, efficient and biocompatible conducting materials. These materials are […]
The UK government is reportedly considering abandoning its goal of removing fossil fuels from the country’s electricity supply by 2030 in an attempt to keep energy bills down.This post was originally published on this site.
Even as coal power continues its steady decline in the United States, more than a hundred plants still have no retirement plans—a gap large enough to derail national climate goals. A new study led by […]
A research team led by Profs. Wang Mingtai and Chen Chong from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed an antimony trisulfide (Sb₂S₃) solar cell with a record […]
In recent years, energy engineers have been trying to design new reliable batteries that can store more energy and allow electronics to operate for longer periods of time before they need to be charged. Some […]
Britain’s flagship home insulation program has received a damning verdict from the National Audit Office. Under the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme, tens of thousands of households have been left with faulty or even dangerous […]
Electrical equipment housed within auxiliary buildings of nuclear power plants—such as control panels, transformers, and emergency generators—are particularly vulnerable to vibrations. Notably, during the 2016 Gyeongju earthquake, while concrete structures remained intact, power facilities had […]
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the world’s most abundant pollutants and a key driver of climate change. To mitigate its impact, researchers around the world are exploring ways to capture CO2 from the atmosphere […]
