The next era of power system operations is taking shape through digitalization, artificial intelligence, and intelligent automation. To help utilities and navigate this change, Fraunhofer FIT and Accenture have published a white paper titled “Transformation […]
Technology, no matter how advanced, always comes with a shelf life. Mechanical equipment used in clean-energy systems is no different. But as global efforts toward carbon neutrality accelerate, assessing the durability of infrastructure such as […]
While burning electric vehicles, exploding e-bikes and melting smartphones no longer make the headlines, the issue of battery safety has yet to be fully resolved. To address this, UBC researchers recently made a crucial breakthrough […]
Open farmlands are ideal locations for installing solar panels, but the most common method, which involves covering a large area with south-facing panels, prevents the field from being used for simultaneous farming. The panels can […]
As AI data centers spring up across the country, their energy demand and resulting greenhouse gas emissions are raising concerns. With servers and energy-intensive cooling systems constantly running, these buildings can use anywhere from a […]
A team of researchers from the University of East London (UEL) has found an unexpected solution to one of the construction industry’s biggest carbon problems—and it lies on the shoreline. New findings show that discarded […]
University of Toronto Engineering researchers have discovered a new way of capturing carbon directly from the air—one that could offer significant cost savings over current methods.This post was originally published on this site.
A team of Korean scientists has developed a separator technology that dramatically reduces the explosion risk of lithium batteries while doubling their lifespan. Like an ultra-thin bulletproof vest protecting both sides, this molecularly engineered membrane […]
A research team developed a 3D Smart Building Energy-saving device capable of automatically controlling heating and cooling without electricity or an external power source.This post was originally published on this site.
Researchers from Empa, EPFL and CSEM have developed a green smart sensing tag that measures temperature and humidity in real time—and can also detect whether a temperature threshold has been exceeded. In the future, this […]
