For decades, the expansion of solar energy has been constrained by the physical limitations of its core technology. Traditional silicon solar panels are remarkably effective, but they are also heavy, rigid, and opaque.
The start of a new battery materials library could pave the way for future AI models to help scientists design sodium-ion batteries that charge faster, last longer and store more energy, according to new research from the University of Surrey.
An alternative to the transistor could make computers 100 to 1,000 times faster and more energy efficient, according to a team of researchers from University of Michigan Engineering and the University of Wisconsin, funded with up to $6M from the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency Fast and Curious program.
Superconductivity has many important practical applications, including creating powerful magnets used in high-resolution medical scans, transporting electricity efficiently, and building ultra-sensitive measuring devices. Until now, understanding exactly what lay behind this unique phenomenon at high temperatures has eluded scientists over many decades.
Water isn't always as it seems. Under extreme conditions, such as those found on other planets, it has been discovered to change its atomic structure, giving it the means to alter its appearance and other properties.
Topsoe, a leading global provider of advanced energy transition solutions for producing clean and conventional fuels and chemicals, has signed a licensing agreement with Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), an Indian public sector oil and gas company, to provide its Kerosene Hydrotreating Technology for co-processing for SAF production at BPCL’s Mumbai Refinery.
Researchers developed a pre-embedded solid-solid redox mediation strategy that mixes sulfur and iodine at the nanoscale inside mesoporous carbon to accelerate sulfur conversion in all-solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries. The iodine redox chemistry enabled fast charging, long cycle life, and strong performance at higher active-material loadings across several sulfide solid electrolytes.
Researchers developed an n-type, scaffolded Si–ZnxMg1-xO photocatalyst that produced hydrogen from water without sacrificial electron donors under 100 W tungsten-lamp irradiation. By tuning the Zn/Mg ratio and associated defect states, the best-performing Si–Zn0.3Mg0.7O composition reached a hydrogen evolution rate of 1,954 µmol h?¹ cm?² and an apparent quantum yield of 36.47% at 600 nm.
Researchers engineered lead-free BCZT/STO superlattice capacitors that achieved a recoverable energy storage density of 12.6 J/cm³ with near-99 % efficiency at 920 kV/cm, while maintaining stable performance through 2 × 108 charge–discharge cycles. Atomic-scale measurements indicate that the superlattice changes the size and spatial organization of polar nanoregions, while a strain-gradient-related internal field also contributes to the observed energy-storage behavior.
A Cambridge co-operative that has developed technology to help lettuces grow in space is celebrating a major anniversary in style.
