A promising and environmentally friendly method for addressing the energy crisis and lowering emissions from fossil fuels is the conversion of solar energy into hydrogen energy.
According to KAUST researchers, rechargeable batteries that use ammonium cations as charge carriers could offer eco-friendly and long-lasting alternatives to metal-ion-based batteries.
Over 40 of the world’s pre-eminent designers, scientists, and business leaders have united in their support of the world’s first materials and systems solutions platform PlasticFree.
The performance of organic photodetectors (OPDs) is degraded by noise. Although charge injection is the major source of dark current in the photodetector, few studies have been conducted to determine the noise origin in OPDs.
Researchers have developed a new carbon-negative method for refrigeration inspired by the salting and gritting of roads to limit ice formation in the winter months.
The stakes of corrosion in the oil and gas industry can be astronomical, ranging from high maintenance and repair costs, to downtime and profit loss, to safety hazards from oil and gas leaks. The simple culprit: metal reacting with oxygen and moisture, degrading it back to its natural state.
Converting biological waste into resources is one of the keys of the circular economy, and the main objective of the European WaysTUP! Project, financed by the Horizon H2020 programme, is working on different lines of research to establish new value chains for the use of urban biowaste.
Researchers from the University of Konstanz are trying to create plastics that maintain their desirable qualities while also being more easily recycled.
A technology for converting radio frequency signals into direct current electricity has been developed by researchers at the University of Central Florida to help meet the expanding energy requirements of the internet of things (IoT) and wireless communication systems.
Organic solvents derived from plant residue, algae or microorganisms could replace the toxic solvents typically used to produce solar cells. Image Credit: KAUST; Hassan Tahini
