Durable Fuel-Cells with novel proton-conductive membranes Fuel cells are compact energy conversion units that utilize clean energy sources like hydrogen and convert them into electricity through a series of oxidation–reduction reactions. Specifically, proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), an int...
Infinitely Recyclable Plastics using Bacteria Plastic waste is a problem. Most plastics can’t be recycled, and many use finite, polluting petrochemicals as the basic ingredients. But that’s changing. In a study published today in Nature Sustainability, researchers successfully engineered microbes to mak...
Enhancing the removal of Methane with Sahara Dust The study by Maarten van Herpen et al., entitled “Photocatalytic Chlorine Atom Production on Mineral Dust-Sea Spray Aerosols over North Atlantic,” was funded in part by the NGO Spark Climate Solutions. It incorporates a proposed new mechanism whereby blo...
Scientists discover that Metals can heal themselves Scientists for the first time have witnessed pieces of metal crack, then fuse back together without any human intervention, overturning fundamental scientific theories in the process. If the newly discovered phenomenon can be harnessed, it could usher...
Next generation of Flexible Magnetic Sensors boost performance A giant leap of more than an order of magnitude improvement in the sensitivity of flexible magneto-resistive sensors heralds new opportunities for flexible sensors in medical devices, soft robotics and more Flexible magnetic sensors have gai...
Scientists knit futuristic eco-buildings with Mycocrete fungi paste Scientists hoping to reduce the environmental impact of the construction industry have developed a way to grow building materials using knitted moulds and the root network of fungi. Although researchers have experimented with similar co...
Controlling Signal Routing with Quantum Information Processing Routing signals and isolating them against noise and back-reflections are essential in many practical situations in classical communication as well as in quantum processing. In a theory-experimental collaboration, a team led by Andreas Nunne...
hy-fcell 2023 in Stuttgart to promote Hydrogen Technology hy-fcell 2023 in Stuttgart promotes knowledge transfer, networking and professional exchange within the hydrogen and fuel cell community more than ever before. To this end, the organizer, Messe Stuttgart, has once again expanded the accompanying...
New Light Source can transmit 25 billion bits per second over long distances Korean researchers and an SME have successfully commercialized a light source capable of transmitting 25 billion bits per second over long distances for the first time in Korea. Electronics and Telecommunications Research Insti...
Thermoelectricity for power generation sparked by Silver Nanoparticles Numerous high-functioning thermoelectric substances were found during the previous twenty years, but their potential has remained unrealized due to the absence of efficient mechanisms to convert the energy they generate into eco-frie...
Hidden Bottlenecks and Cascading Failures in Urban Traffic Systems Transportation systems in urban settings are vulnerable to a variety of factors including weather, traffic congestion, and special events. Bottlenecks, in particular, can cause major problems and lead to cascading failure of the entire s...
Reimagining the Ancient Design of Concrete for the 21st Century Concrete is the most used material in the construction industry and dates to the Roman Empire. Engineers at the University of Pittsburgh are now reimagining its design for the 21st century. New research introduces metamaterial concrete for...
Flow Field design could increase Hydrogen Production in Electrolysers Loop Energy™, a designer and manufacturer of hydrogen fuel cell solutions, has completed third-party validation of the use of its patented eFlow™ technology in PEM electrolysers. In partnership with Fraunhofer USA, testi...
MIT discovers method to extract Carbon Dioxide from the ocean A new method for removing the greenhouse gas from the ocean could be far more efficient than existing systems for removing it from the air. As carbon dioxide continues to build up in the Earth’s atmosphere, research teams around the world hav...
