5+ hour, 30+ min ago (1035+ words) The global energy transition is putting pressure on governments, industries, and research centers to develop safer, more durable, and more efficient storage solutions. According to an article published by the website O AntagonistaIn this context, a new battery developed in…...
US scientists create a device capable of transforming air into drinking water without using electricity: a hydrogel "window" that absorbs moisture at night, releases water during the day, and could become a silent salvation for millions of people suffering from water scarcity on the planet.
7+ hour, 45+ min ago (971+ words) Researchers of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), in the United States, developed a passive water collector which extracts moisture from the air and converts it into drinking water without relying on electricity, batteries, or solar panels. The study was published…...
Scientists develop catalyst that improves the conversion of ethanol to hydrogen and paves the way for more efficient and competitive renewable fuels.
1+ day, 4+ hour ago (674+ words) The study, coordinated by Fabio Coral Fonseca, was published in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy and shows that precise control of the material processing temperature is crucial for achieving high catalytic performance. The results include 100% ethanol conversion, a yield…...
Two teenage girls, aged 16 and 17, created filters using gravel, sand, charcoal, and cotton to reuse up to a thousand liters of water dyed from Oaxaca carpets per week, earning them the "Nobel Prize for Water" for young people in Mexico.
2+ day, 29+ min ago (1245+ words) The filters created by Rosa and Shan did not emerge as a "laboratory idea," but as a response to a real routine of production, drying, and costs. The proposal is simple in form and grand in effect.Reusing wastewater from…...
Researchers are developing concrete with bacteria that help seal small cracks from the inside, reduce leaks, and extend the lifespan of bridges and buildings without requiring constant repairs.
1+ week, 3+ day ago (589+ words) Concrete supports cities " and it also carries an old flaw: it cracksSometimes these are almost invisible cracks, but over time they become an open pathway for water, salts, and other substances that accelerate the process. corrosion of reinforcement and they…...
Researchers in the United States have developed an iron catalyst that replaces platinum in fuel cells, promising to reduce costs by up to 45%, increase energy efficiency, and make hydrogen cars viable for the mass market.
2+ week, 20+ hour ago (406+ words) The introduction of a iron catalyst This completely changes the industrial paradigm. Unlike platinum, iron is the fourth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, is cheap, and is available on every continent. This transition allows for economies of scale…...
