Carbon Dioxide to Fuel Conversion Catalysts have been discovered As scientists seek ways to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, a number of experiments have focused on using this gas to…
A Loop of Experimentation for Reproducing Nuclear Reactors in Space Nuclear energy is an excellent source of energy for space. Solar panels struggle to gather enough energy to power a spacecraft or probe as you…
Researchers created a Longer-lasting and Sustainable Lithium-Sulfur Batteries The lithium-sulfur battery (Li–S battery) is a rechargeable battery with a high specific energy. Because of the low atomic weight of lithium and the moderate…
Creating Clean Hydrogen Fuel from “Sewer Gas” Neither of us enjoys the odor of sewer gas. Nobody would have predicted that such gas could be converted into clean hydrogen fuel, but science…
A Materials Chemist Reveals Mystery of the Flexible Shell An international research team led by the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI has discovered why the protective cover of the brachiopod Discinisca tenuis softens in water…
New Biochar Composites Contribute to Wastewater Treatment Biochar is a carbon-rich material produced by the pyrolysis of solid waste (e.g., agricultural solid waste and sludge from wastewater treatment plants). Biochar is inexpensive,…
The Catalyst Study Progresses the Conversion of Carbon dioxide to Ethanol An international scientific collaboration has made significant progress toward the realization of a nearly “green” zero-net-carbon technology that will efficiently convert carbon dioxide, a major…
Producing Electrolytic Hydrogen at a Lower Cost Hydrogen production refers to a group of industrial methods for producing hydrogen gas. By 2020, the vast majority of hydrogen (95 percent) will be produced…
A Green Energy Breakthrough is a Better Way to Split Water Water splitting is a process that allows for the direct decomposition of water into its constituent elements, allowing for the production of hydrogen. The energy…
New Research Promotes Alternatives for Renewable Energy In many markets around the world, clean energy technologies are now offering prices that are competitive with or better than traditional energy sources. In recent…
