Nuclear Remains Key to Low Cost Zero Emission Electricity
February 15, 2022 | Leave a Comment
The Carnegie Institution for Science’s work shows nuclear power would be crucial in helping the world reach a key goal of zero carbon emissions by the middle of the century. The research shows the case is especially true in countries with low wind resources. The study results have been published in Nature Energy by Lei […]

How Fuel Poverty Affects Physical And Mental Health
February 9, 2022 | Leave a Comment
University of East Anglia research shows that fuel poverty makes people’s physical and mental health worse. Researchers found that not being able to keep homes warm enough affects people’s levels of life satisfaction. But they also found that it impacts people’s physical health by causing higher levels of inflammation, measured by fibrinogen, a blood-based biomarker. […]

New Polymer Fuel Cell Runs With Higher Power Density
February 8, 2022 | Leave a Comment
Los Alamos National Laboratory’s new fuel cell with a higher-rated power density than state-of-the-art fuel cells can operate at 80-160° Celsius. The new cell solves the longstanding problem of overheating, one of the most significant technical barriers to using medium-and heavy-duty fuel cells in transportation vehicles such as trucks and buses. Because current fuel cells […]

Method Developed That Stabilizes Perovskite For Solar Cells
February 3, 2022 | Leave a Comment
University of Cambridge researchers have developed a method to stabilize a promising material known as perovskite for cheap solar cells, without compromising its near-perfect performance. The researchers used an organic molecule as a ‘template’ to guide perovskite films into the desired phase as they form. Their results are reported in the journal Science. Perovskite materials […]
