CityUHK Researchers Achieve First-Ever Recycling Spin-Triplet Excitons for Power Generation, Boosting Organic Photovoltaics Efficiency to 20.5%

In organic photovoltaics (OPV), low-energy spin-triplet excitons (T1) have long been regarded as “energy traps” that often dissipate energy as heat rather than contributing to light-to-electricity conversion.

New Geoscience Model Reveals Where Australia Should Search for Heavy Rare Earths

A national-scale mineral potential assessment mapped areas across Australia that are prospective for unconformity-related rare-earth-element systems. The framework reduced the exploration search area by up to 95% while highlighting underexplored Precambrian basin margins as potential heavy rare earth targets.

PNNL’s Nondestructive Evaluation Enables Safe Operation of Nuclear Power Reactors

When you go to the doctor for a routine medical exam or a prenatal check-up, they often use an ultrasound or an X-ray to see what's happening inside your body without needing surgery.

Scientists Turn Pine Resin-Derived Rosin Into High-Quality Bulk Graphite

Researchers converted pine resin-derived rosin into a thermoplastic, mesophase-forming pitch that can be graphitized into high-quality bulk graphite. The study shows how molecular restructuring of renewable terpenes could reduce reliance on fossil-derived pitch for graphite manufacturing.

REWIND Demonstrates the Potential of Decommissioned Wind Turbine Blades as New Industrial Resources

What until recently was considered one of the most challenging waste streams of the energy transition could become a valuable source of raw materials for new industrial products. More than 20 square meters of recovered wind turbine blade sections—equivalent to the surface area of two-family cars—are being given a second life through the European REWIND project in applications such as electric vehicles and insulation materials.

EV Batteries Turn Lithium Mining Into a Measurable Climate Gain

The study found that projected U.S. light-duty EV adoption could cut life cycle GHG emissions by 61%, primary energy use by 20%, and total material extraction by 34% compared with an ICEV-only counterfactual. However, EVs increase demand for metals and critical minerals, making battery durability, recycling, and responsible mining central to maximizing climate gains.

Freshwater Limits Could Shape The Future of Green Hydrogen

Researchers found that green hydrogen’s freshwater demand can be substantially underestimated when evaporative cooling for large-scale electrolyzers is ignored. Their global analysis shows that solar-rich, arid regions face the highest water risks, while wind-rich regions often align better with water-sustainable hydrogen production.
