Medicine & TechnologyResearchers recently developed a new type of catalyst that could break ammonia under lower temperatures. This catalyst will pave the way to a greener future by harvesting hydrogen fuels effortlessly without emissions.
A form of biofuel found in hazelnut shells has the potential to be a new renewable energy source - using various thermochemical processes to extract oils from the waste material.
Existing pacemakers use lead that connects to the electronic device to generate an electrical pulse. Instead of lead, scientists recently created a pacemaker that will use the kinetic energy from the heart to power the device to overcome existing problems.
Nuclear fusion powers the Sun and other stars in the universe. If humans can replicate it on Earth, it could provide a limitless source of affordable, clean, and safe energy.
To better understand how ions penetrate very small gaps during the adsorption process from an electrolyte to the electrode, researchers turned to the 'classic' material, birnessite.
Reining in the world's worst contributors to carbon emissions could create a disproportionately large advantage in the fight against climate change, studies suggest.
California Institute of Technology recently revealed that a real estate developer and his wife donated $100 million for their Space Solar Power Project. Their donation had helped seed an off-Earth energy revolution that will benefit humankind.
A collaborative effort has led to the discovery of new inorganic material with lower thermal conductivity ever recorded, paving the way for a new class of thermoelectric materials.
Two new solar power generating stations are now producing electricity for more than 1,000 homes. One of the stations is named after Hydro-Quebec's first female engineer.
A new class of nanomaterials, called self-aware metamaterials, could supposedly generate their own power and sense changes in their environment - ushering the next material of fabricated living structures.
Over the years, the automobile industry has had to answer some difficult questions regarding manufacturing and emissions. However, thanks to a combination of tightened government regulations and consumer demand, the automobile industry is gradually shifting towards renewable energy in all its processes.
