Flower-Powered Carbon Doped With Manganese Boosts Supercapacitors and Solar
1+ hour, 52+ min ago (55+ words) Researchers in India have transformed the delicate purple-and-white flowers of Bauhinia variegata, the mountain ebony tree, into a high-performance carbon electrode material that works in two very different clean-energy devices at once. In a study published in the Springer journal…...
Enzyme Trick Turns Bioethanol Waste Oil Into High-Value Renewable Fuel
2+ hour, 34+ min ago (73+ words) A humble byproduct of bioethanol fermentation, long relegated to low-value disposal, could soon find itself blended into the world’s fuel tanks. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have shown that fusel oil, the mixture of higher alcohols that distillers skim…...
Chip-Sized Plasma Switch Fires Picosecond Pulses to Flip Magnetic Memory
4+ hour, 31+ min ago (658+ words) For decades, one of the most stubborn bottlenecks in building faster, greener computer memory has been a simple question of timing: how do you deliver an electrical pulse short enough and powerful enough to flip a magnetic bit in a…...
Plasma Activation Supercharges Copper Electrocatalysis to Turn CO2 Into
7+ hour, 7+ min ago (593+ words) Turning carbon dioxide back into useful chemicals has long been one of the most tantalizing goals of the clean-energy transition....
Potato Peel Waste Heats Up as a Surprising Source of Clean Biogas Energy
7+ hour, 34+ min ago (654+ words) Every year, the potato processing industry in the United States generates enormous quantities of peel waste, a wet, starchy, and fibrous byproduct that most facilities pay to dispose of. A new study published in Waste and Biomass Valorization suggests that…...
The Slow Drain: Tiny Electronic Currents Threaten Solid-State Battery
7+ hour, 54+ min ago (583+ words) Solid-state batteries have been heralded as the next great leap in energy storage, promising higher energy densities, improved safety and longer lifetimes than the lithium-ion cells that power everything from smartphones to electric vehicles....
Fragrant Coumarin Bond Helps Organic Material Split Water Into Hydrogen
9+ hour, 28+ min ago (428+ words) Hydrogen has long been billed as the clean fuel of the future, and the most elegant way to make it would be to pull it straight out of water using nothing but sunlight. The obstacle is not a lack of…...
Halogen Chemistry Lifts Sulfur Batteries to a Higher Voltage
10+ hour, 2+ min ago (623+ words) Lithium-sulfur batteries have spent decades promising an energy-storage revolution that never quite arrived. On paper, the chemistry is extraordinary: sulfur is abundant, cheap, and capable in principle of storing several times more energy per kilogram than the intercalation cathodes used…...
Kaolin Recipe Tweak Controls the Water-Trapping Power of Silica Gel
10+ hour, 31+ min ago (762+ words) Researchers in Cameroon have shown that a deceptively simple change in a well-known chemistry recipe—how much metakaolin powder is stirred into a fixed volume of sodium hydroxide solution—can dramatically reshape the internal architecture of the silica gel that…...
This Printable Fabric Can Cool the Body and Turn Movement into Energy
