What if the energy released when freight trains slow or stop could be applied to carbon capture technology?
Energy
New insulation material can enable more efficient electricity distribution
A new conjugated polymer provides opportunity to improve insulating materials around high-voltage cables for more efficient power transmission.
Waste not want not with sustainable fertilizer
A new approach to the synthesis of sustainable ammonia and urea uses food waste and brown water as feedstocks.
Underwater volcanoes unleash enough energy to power a continent
Scientists are closer to understanding the formation of underwater megaplumes, large and powerful columns of heated water rising from the ocean floor.
Conjugated polymer windows redirect light to solar cells
Luminescent solar concentrators based on a conjugated polymer redirect light from inside and out.
Improving Li-ion battery performance using 3D printing
Increasing the mass of an electrode reduces power density due to the longer distance that ions and electrons must travel. Electrode designs need a rethink.
Today’s green investment is tomorrow’s emission reduction — models must grasp this
How ignoring the dynamics of the energy transition leads to overestimating transition cost and unjustified delay of climate action.
New material for solar hydrogen
New photoanodes promise high efficiencies in producing hydrogen in a climate-neutral way.
Solution-processed organic solar modules with 10% power conversion efficiency
A new formulation for manufacturing organic solar panels exhibits an impressive, certified power conversion efficiency to help bring this technology closer to commercialization.
Solar chemicals and fuels in the dark
Conquering cloud and nighttime solar intermittency comes from the phenomenon of persistent photoconductivity observed in materials that contain sub-bandgap trap states.
