New Glass Based Coating Can Reduce Air Conditioner Load
November 14, 2023 | Leave a Comment
University of Maryland researchers’ new technology is a microporous glass coating that can lower the temperature of the materials beneath it by 3.5 degrees Celsius at noon. The new glass is said to be a new ‘cooling glass’ that can turn down the heat indoors without electricity by drawing on the cold depths of space. […]

Roofing Materials Might Replace Your Home Air Conditioner
November 1, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Researchers from McGill University, UCLA and Princeton have found in a new study the use of roof materials that radiate heat into the cold universe, even under direct sunlight, and how to combine them with temperature-driven ventilation could cool a home. The need for cool living environments is becoming more urgent. But air conditioning is […]

Working Through The Problems Of CO2 Recycling
May 24, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie researchers are working through the clogging problem in CO2 electrolysis. The greenhouse gas carbon dioxide can be converted into useful hydrocarbons by electrolysis. The design of the electrolysis cell is crucial in this process. The so-called zero-gap cell is particularly suitable for industrial processes. But there are still […]

Old CO2 Science Turns Out To Be The Best Science
April 12, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Cornell University scientists have dusted off an archaic – now 120 year old – electrochemical equation. The goal is to manage atmospheric carbon dioxide and convert the gas into a useful products. The team’s work has been published in the journal ACS Catalysis. The calculation – named the Cottrell equation for chemist Frederick Gardner Cottrell, […]

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Researchers in the Oregon State University College of Science have developed a dual-purpose catalyst that purifies herbicide-tainted water while also producing hydrogen. The project, which included researchers from the OSU College of Engineering and HP Inc. is important because water pollution is a major global challenge, and hydrogen is a clean, renewable fuel. Findings […]
