Building a Sustainable Future with Emission-Free Cement
A new electrochemical reactor could be the solution to emissionless cement production.
SF6 Worries – The Most Potent and Persistent Greenhouse Gas
The most potent and persistent greenhouse gas is neither carbon dioxide nor methane, but sulfur hexafluoride, a colorless, odorless, non-polar, inert gas.
Metamaterial Improves Solar Cells
As the demand for photovoltaics increases, so too does the demand for rare metal resources, which must be addressed.
Searching for New Hydrogen Production Pathways
An interdisciplinary collaboration identified a superior catalyst for water splitting. The applied strategy however, could also be a pathway towards a clear knowledge of quantum materials and their unusual properties.
Energy Perspectives: Jonathan Coleman Elucidates Capacity vs Rate Performance
Jonathan Coleman of TCD elucidates the trade-off between rate performance and capacity in battery electrodes, and explains how to optimise it.
Reviewing the Decision-Making Behavior of Irrigators
Irrigators’ decisions to follow best management practices or implement a policy change, to accept a technology, or even to exit farming, all affect society.
