Instead of improving what everyone else had been improving, they left the semiconductors completely alone'and looked somewhere else. Solar thermoelectric…...

3+ day, 5+ hour ago  (391+ words) Every day, without effort, plants do something chemists have spent decades trying to copy: they catch sunlight and lock its energy into chemical bonds. Replicating that trick in a lab " well enough to actually power the world " has proven far…...

5+ day, 11+ hour ago  (690+ words) Every day, cities around the world flush away a problem they can barely manage: sewage sludge. More than 100 million tonnes of it accumulate globally each year, a figure that grows as urbanization accelerates. Burning it pollutes the air; burying it…...

1+ week, 9+ hour ago  (574+ words) Global decarbonization is becoming more cost-effective thanks to an iron alternative in hydrogen fuel cells. Renewable energy capacity is growing exponentially, but the world is still far from its net-zero goal. Hydrogen will fulfill these needs, but high costs have…...

1+ week, 5+ hour ago  (769+ words) Ice is one of the most ordinary things on Earth " it forms in your freezer, coats mountain peaks, and drifts through the upper atmosphere inside storm clouds. Scientists have studied it for centuries. Yet a new study published by the…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago  (487+ words) A pioneering molecular breakthrough can overcome universal efficiency issues of solar cells. Solar power is essential for global energy grids to meet fast-approaching climate targets. Will researchers truly be able to harness more power from the same amount of sunlight…...

2+ week, 1+ day ago  (581+ words) Cornell University has engineered an innovative data storage beam to address the AI energy crisis. Generative AI and smart cloud computing are rapidly expanding globally, resulting in significant surges in electricity demand. Renewable energy capacity expansion is meant to close…...

1+ mon, 1+ week ago  (542+ words) Renewable generation is not the only key to sustainability, as the white light of electronics also plays a role. Modern technology has evolved significantly over the years, with many devices now foldable, wearable, or transparent. Unfortunately, their white light-producing materials…...
