Materials discovery dilemma: Seeing the forest for the trees
While some would contend that materials discovery will breathe life into a hydrogen economy, it cannot realize its full potential unless production becomes less costly and more efficient.
Electro swing direct air capture
An innovative advance dubbed “electro swing” may challenge the energy efficiency, capacity, and scalability of large-scale carbon capture.
Nitrous oxide – Not a laughing matter
Nitrous oxide, better known as laughing gas, is often forgotten when considering major greenhouse gases.
Direct air capture trains
What if the energy released when freight trains slow or stop could be applied to carbon capture technology?
What do carbon capture and beer bubbles have in common?
Understanding how bubbles form is vital to both producers and consumers of the world’s most popular alcoholic beverage.
