Scientists at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have used lasers to determine for the first time how specific vibrations in a water molecule affect its ability to dissociate into its atomic components. Many chemical reactions are assisted with catalysts. Natural gas (methane) can be converted using water and a nickel catalyst being reduced into […]

An EU-funded SOLAR-JET project at notable research organizations from academia through to industry (ETH Zürich, Bauhaus Luftfahrt, Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR), ARTTIC and Shell Global Solutions) has successfully demonstrated the entire production chain for renewable aviation kerosene obtained directly from sunlight, water and carbon dioxide. The new EU process has also the […]

The University of the Basque Country GISEL research group of the Department of Electrical Engineering is at work to improve the technology needed to convert alternating current (AC) lines to direct current (DC) lines. Today most electricity transmission lines are carrying AC. In some cases DC lines are also being used. Grid operators and researchers […]
