Eliminating air pollution emissions from energy-related activities in the United States would prevent more than 50,000 premature deaths each year and provide more than $600…
Algae-Powered Computing Scientists used a widespread species of blue-green algae to power a microprocessor continuously for a year — and counting — using nothing but…
Solar and wind farms now cover fields that were abandoned after the nuclear accident in 2011. In 2011, an earthquake and tsunami damaged nuclear reactors…
Rice study shows how proposed projects could eliminate need for coal, drastically cut pollution. Texas can be a model for the nation on how to…
Researchers have made tiny ‘skyscrapers’ for communities of bacteria, helping them to generate electricity from just sunlight and water. The researchers, from the University of…
Researchers have developed an efficient concept to turn carbon dioxide into clean, sustainable fuels, without any unwanted by-products or waste. The researchers, from the University…
Thirty-six million people in the U.S. use an energy system developed by a handful of activists in the 1990s. An MIT scholar examines this unusual…
Ring-shaped molecules known as porphyrins have potential as effective catalyst. Meeting society’s growing energy needs has become a daunting challenge for humanity. Demands for energy…
As the world’s energy demands increase, so does our consumption of fossil fuels. The result is a massive rise in greenhouse gases emissions with severely…
Southwest Research Institute worked with government and commercial collaborators to successfully develop and demonstrate full-scale turbomachinery for one of the world’s first supercritical carbon dioxide…
A group of chemists from Kaunas University of Technology (KTU), Lithuania synthesized materials that were used for constructing a record-breaking perovskite solar module, with an…
In the global race to curb climate change and reduce carbon emissions, hydrogen is considered a serious contender to replace fossil fuels. Although hydrogen ‘burns’…
Oregon State University research into the design of catalysts has shown that hydrogen can be cleanly produced with much greater efficiency and at a lower…
As part of the energy transition, the energy industry is looking toward the oceans for reliable, sustainable, and renewable energy sources. Researchers and engineers aim…
Three HZB teams led by Prof. Christiane Becker, Prof. Bernd Stannowski and Prof. Steve Albrecht have jointly managed to increase the efficiency of perovskite silicon…
Electrocatalyst converts CO2 into multicarbon products. A new electrocatalyst called a-CuTi@Cu converts carbon dioxide (CO2 ) into liquid fuels. As reported by a team of…
Using carbon tax revenue to fund free green electricity and public transport could significantly reduce individual households’ greenhouse gas emissions, a new study has found. …
A temporal change in the titania surface chemical state during the UV light irradiation is not observable through conventional methods such as regular FTIR or…
