Pace of growth helps maintain renewable energy when weather conditions interfere with wind and solarFaced with worsening climate-driven disasters and an electricity grid increasingly supplied by intermittent renewables, the US is
A multidisciplinary research group has formulated new protective coatings to allow turbine engines to run hotter — with potential dividends for the environment and people.
In the face of rising CO2 levels, scientists are searching for sustainable ways of pulling carbon dioxide out of the air, so-called direct air capture. A new type of porous material,
Long-delayed regulations may ‘encourage’ housebuilders to equip homes with solar panels, rather than requiring themLabour is considering making solar panels optional on new homes in England, after pressure from housebuilders, in
Nature, Published online: 23 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41586-024-08079-4 Zwitterionic additives composed of a ‘soft’ organic cation and a ‘hard’ anion enable homogeneous halide cycling in aqueous halide redox flow batteries, resulting in
Nature, Published online: 23 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41586-024-08080-x A polyamine-functionalized covalent organic framework, COF-999, can be used as a material for direct air capture of CO2 from open air.
Researchers have developed a novel method using facet-selective, ultrafine cocatalysts to efficiently split water to create hydrogen — a clean source of fuel.
The teeth of the mower chewed through a stand of small trees and shrubs 30 miles from Mount Rainier and belched out a brown cloud of dirt and wood chips.
Scientists successfully tested a new way to produce sustainable jet fuel from lignin-based agricultural waste. The team’s research demonstrated a continuous process that directly converts lignin polymers, one of the chief
A research team has developed a new fluorine-free binder and electrolyte designed to advance eco-friendly, high-performance battery technology.
