Predicting Plasma Pressure in Fusion
September 26, 2019 | Leave a Comment
Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory has developed an improved model for forecasting the crucial balance of pressure at the edge of a fusion plasma. A key requirement for future facilities that aim to capture and control on Earth the fusion energy that drives the sun and stars is accurate predictions of the pressure of the plasma. […]

Designing a Roadmap to Supply Consumers Hydrogen
September 25, 2019 | Leave a Comment
University of British Columbia (UBC) researchers have developed a hydrogen supply chain model that can enable the adoption of zero-emission, hydrogen-powered cars – transforming them from a novelty into everyday transportation in just 30 years. In a new study published in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, the UBC researchers provide an analysis of the […]

But is it natural gas or carbon dioxide or perhaps helium or sulfur dioxide? Kyushu University researchers used an automated method to create a high-resolution map of the seismic velocity below the seafloor where they found a large-scale gas reservoir in an area where the Earth’s upper layers are being separated. This reservoir, the first […]

New Solar Cell to Operate Indoors
September 19, 2019 | Leave a Comment
Swedish and Chinese scientists have developed organic solar cells optimized to convert ambient indoor light to electricity. The power they produce is low, but is probably enough to feed the millions of products that the internet of things will bring online. As the internet of things expands, it is expected that we will need to […]

New Process Found For CO2 to Fuel
September 18, 2019 | Leave a Comment
Stanford University researchers have found a new way to convert carbon dioxide into the building block for sustainable liquid fuels. The new process was very efficient in tests and did not have the reaction that destroys a conventional device. The Stanford researchers have discovered a practical starting point for converting carbon dioxide recycling it back […]
