Mapping Endangered Habitats with the Help of Citizen Scientists and Satellite Data
39+ min ago (467+ words) A combination of satellite imagery, environmental data and habitat surveys carried out by citizen scientists could help transform the way endangered habitats are mapped, according to new research from the University of Surrey and Surrey Wildlife Trust. Working in collaboration…...
Your Shampoo Routine Could Be Driving Household Water Waste, According to New Study
1+ hour, 3+ min ago (557+ words) Everyday shower habits, such as applying shampoo or pausing the water while washing, are driving up water waste, argues a new study from the University of Surrey. Published in the Journal of Environmental Management, researchers found that showers account for…...
New MIT Polyethylene Yarn Offers Solution for Growing Textile Waste
2+ day, 3+ hour ago (980+ words) After a closet cleanout, what options are there for recyling our old threads? Not many. Apart from bringing used clothes to a donation center, there is no process for recycling textiles like there is for bottles and cans. And, the…...
Could Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries Remove the Need for Lithium-Ion?
1+ day, 22+ hour ago (748+ words) Zinc is a preferable anode because each ion transfers two electrons, giving a high theoretical capacity of 820 mAh g-1, and its redox potential of -0.76 V versus the standard hydrogen electrode is suited to aqueous systems.1 Zinc is also stable enough in…...
New Moisture-Driven Generator Harvests Electricity Using Waste Biomass
3+ day, 1+ hour ago (377+ words) Techniques that convert ambient humidity into electricity have recently gathered interest due to their potential to provide flexible, low-power energy sources without reliance on traditional fuel or batteries. Existing systems, however, are often limited by high material costs, complex fabrication,…...
New AI Framework Aims to Improve Battery Metal Recovery
4+ day, 23+ hour ago (495+ words) Researchers from the SLAC-Stanford Battery Center join the University of Southern California in a project announced today by the DOE to help secure the U.S. supply of critical minerals. The U.S. Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory will lead a Genesis…...
Hutton to Coordinate New €6 Million Project to Improve Monitoring, Reporting and Verification of Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Agriculture
6+ day, 1+ hour ago (412+ words) The James Hutton Institute, Scotland’s leading interdisciplinary research institute for sustainable land, crop and nature management, has been tasked with coordinating a €5.94 million (£5.07 million) effort to improve the monitoring, reporting and verification of non-CO2 greenhouse gases from agriculture. The project,…...
Predict Long-Term Stability in Ni-Rich Lithium-Ion Batteries Using Formaldehyde Generation
6+ day, 1+ hour ago (291+ words) Nickel-rich layered oxide cathodes (e.g., NCA90) are considered some of the most advanced materials for high-energy lithium-ion batteries. Yet, under high-stress conditions, they remain unstable, posing a significant barrier to long-term use in electric vehicles and energy storage. Because the chemistry of…...
Dirty Solar Panels Could be Costing UK Businesses Thousands
6+ day, 7+ hour ago (365+ words) New performance data from commercial solar specialist Absolar suggests dirty solar panels could be costing UK businesses thousands of pounds in lost electricity generation every year. With routine cleaning, output could be increased by up to 16.6%. Absolar is currently carrying…...
Operando DEMS for Water Electrolysis and Fuel Cell Research
6+ day, 22+ hour ago (335+ words) This study demonstrates how the solution-phase synthesis of an ordered Pd3Ni intermetallic compound is possible, a system typically considered difficult to obtain due to the frequent occurrence of disordered alloy formation in adjacent transition metals. Figure (a). Full Hiden HPR-40 DEMS setup....
