6+ hour, 2+ min ago   (285+ words) The hybrid material simultaneously stores thermal energy, accelerates heat transfer, and maintains high water vapour permeability for potential use in energy recovery ventilation and building thermal management systems. Heating, cooling, and building ventilation account for a significant portion of global…...

1+ mon, 1+ day ago   (137+ words) Led by Prof. Dr Lutz Greb at the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, the team synthesised a solution-phase model of the “buckled dimer”—the core atomic arrangement that governs how semiconductor surfaces react and bind with other materials. Because the new…...

1+ mon, 1+ week ago   (320+ words) Published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, the peer-reviewed study details a battery-like mechanism that relies on electricity and water-based chemistry rather than extreme heat to capture and release legacy carbon emissions. While traditional carbon-capture technologies are designed for…...

2+ mon, 1+ week ago   (411+ words) Electrochemical systems have a reputation for complexity when it comes to scale-up to relevant commercial levels. While in some respects this is true, there are clear methodologies on how to minimize risks in building successful and economically viable technologies. For…...

2+ mon, 1+ week ago   (312+ words) Biochar has long been studied as a sustainable material for carbon storage, agricultural enhancement, and pollution containment. However, when compared to high-performance synthetic alternatives like activated carbon, graphene, or carbon nanotubes, raw biochar typically exhibits a much lower surface area…...

2+ mon, 1+ week ago   (338+ words) Prior training can cause artificial intelligence to misinterpret signs of new physics beyond the standard cosmological model. Cosmologists rely heavily on the standard cosmological model, known as Lambda Cold Dark Matter, to describe properties like cosmic expansion and galaxy distribution....

2+ mon, 2+ week ago   (177+ words) Anaerobic dark fermentation offers a sustainable biological method to convert organic waste into hydrogen under mild conditions. However, real-world yields are often restricted because microbial cells redirect carbon and energy into biomass or liquid by-products like ethanol and acetate. To…...

2+ mon, 2+ week ago   (339+ words) Biochar has been widely praised as a great tool for improving soil health and trapping greenhouse gases in farmland. However, a 12-year field study published in the journal Biochar shows that its effects are more complicated than scientists previously thought....

2+ mon, 4+ week ago   (308+ words) The findings, published in ACS Energy Letters, detail how this new screen can operate effectively underwater and be moulded into curved shapes. The technology could one day lead to more comfortable medical screenings, such as mammograms. X-rays allow professionals to…...

3+ mon, 1+ week ago   (439+ words) The updated rules came into force on 11 May 2026 and will reshape how EU countries monitor and manage rivers, lakes, coastal waters, and groundwater over the coming years. The new updates focus on three major EU laws on water protection and…...
