The Selva Research Group of the University of Houston is one of seven teams that have furthered to the final stage of the United States Department of Energy’s Conductivity-enhanced materials for Affordable, Breakthrough Leapfrog Electric and Thermal Applications Conductor Manufacturing Prize, or CABLE Prize.
Scientists amaze inside a lab at a unique state that occurs when atoms are cooled to near absolute zero. Trees outside their window absorb sunlight and convert it into new leaves.
Several high-performance thermoelectric materials have been discovered over the past two decades, but without efficient devices to convert the energy they produce into emission-free power, their promise has been unfulfilled.
Sodium-ion batteries have indeed been heralded as a sustainable alternative to lithium-ion batteries since they are driven by a more abundantly available resource.
According to the scientists from the University of Surrey, bulk adoption of perovskite solar cells will never be commercially feasible until several key challenges have been defeated by the technology.
At the Forschungszentrum Jülich, a new kind of transistor from germanium–tin alloy has been fabricated by scientists. The alloy comes with numerous benefits over traditional switching elements.
Flying is the most damaging mode of transportation for our climate. At least, up until now. But work is already underway to investigate technical alternatives to conventional aircraft.
Making batteries inexpensive, durable, efficient, safe, and eco-friendly concurrently is not easy. Scientists at ETH Zurich, however, have successfully managed to merge all of these characteristics in zinc metal batteries.
A group of researchers at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in Brazil have grown microalgae under controlled conditions in a laboratory in order to use their metabolites, especially lipids, with the prime purpose of producing biofuel.
Today, more than half of the total energy produced by fossil fuels is lost as waste heat, accelerating global warming.
