Cooling With A LED
March 7, 2019 | Leave a Comment
A University of Michigan finding runs counter to a common assumption in physics. The researchers ran a light emitting diode (LED) with electrodes reversed in order to cool another device mere nanometers away. The approach could lead to new solid-state cooling technology for future microprocessors, which will have so many transistors packed into a small […]

Transforming Carbon Dioxide Back Into Fuels
November 14, 2018 | Leave a Comment
Harvard researchers have developed an improved system to use renewable electricity to reduce carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide to recycle carbon dioxide. Imagine a day when – rather than being spewed into the atmosphere – the gases coming from power plants and heavy industry are instead captured and fed into catalytic reactors that chemically transform […]

Breakthrough In How CO2 Is Made Into Electrofuels
September 20, 2018 | 2 Comments
Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Science engineers have observed how carbon dioxide is activated at the electrode-electrolyte interface. Using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy the finding shifts the catalyst design from trial-and-error paradigm to a rational approach and could lead to alternative, cheaper, and safer renewable energy storage. Scientists have long sought ways to convert […]
