Have you ever wondered what happens to the rubber tread that wears off a vehicle’s tires? On a planet with hundreds of millions of vehicles there has to be quite a lot somewhere. New modeling at the University of British Columbia Okanagan (UBCO) campus suggests an increasing amount of what are microplastics, the fragments from […]

Rice University engineers have developed a stable water-splitting catalyst for clean hydrogen generation that could replace expensive iridium catalysts. Creating a hydrogen economy is no small task, but Rice University engineers have discovered a method that could make oxygen evolution catalysis in acids, one of the most challenging topics in water electrolysis for producing clean […]

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… A City University of Hong Kong research team has discovered an innovative way to boost metal carbon dioxide battery capacity by introducing an unconventional phase nanomaterial as a catalyst, boosting battery energy efficiency up to 83.8%. The metal-carbon dioxide battery is a promising and environmentally friendly technology and the study reveals a novel design […]

For the first time, an international team, including researchers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), research how and why new transmission lines can also lead to grids becoming more unstable rather than more stable, as would be expected. A sustainable energy supply requires the expansion of power grids. However, new transmission lines can also […]

Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s new discovery could finally usher the development of solid-state lithium batteries, which would be more lightweight, compact, and safe than current lithium batteries. The growth of metallic filaments called dendrites within the solid electrolyte has been a longstanding obstacle, but the new study explains how dendrites form and how to divert […]
