A team from Friedrich Schiller University Jena in Germany are working with partners from Spain to test brewer’s spent grain as a bio-source for the production of materials for electrochemical energy storage systems. They were […]
Researchers from the Monash University Biomedicine Discovery Institute in Australia have discovered an enzyme capable of transforming air into energy. The enzyme uses small amounts of hydrogen in the air to generate an electrical current. […]
The US Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and scientists from the Technical University of Munich in Germany have made a significant breakthrough in the process of recycling plastics. Recycling plastics requires ‘cracking’ – the […]
Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have been working with Smart Material Solutions – a North Carolina startup company with expertise in precision manufacturing, nanofabrication, metamaterials, and clean energy – to develop a […]
Researchers at Rice University have developed an engineered wood that is stronger than its natural counterparts and can sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) from the surrounding air. To accomplish this, the team delignified – disintegrated the […]
A team at Carnegie Mellon University has developed a technique of tracking human bodies through walls using WiFi signals. While the technology has already existed for a few years, the new technique has the WiFi […]
A group of researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Northwestern University, and other collaborating institutions have developed hybrid bioelectronic robots, which they state are the first to combine soft materials, living muscle, and microelectronics. […]
Researchers from the Australian Research Council Center of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS) have developed a tiny nitrogen dioxide sensor that could help protect the environment from vehicle pollutants that cause health problems and […]
A team at North Carolina State University has developed a soft stretchable strain sensor that combines high sensitivity, a large sensing range, and high robustness. It is capable of detecting even minor changes in strain […]
The production of green hydrogen is highly valued as the process uses electrolyzers and electricity exclusively from renewable sources. Unfortunately, green hydrogen production costs are at least 30% higher than those of blue hydrogen – […]
