Batteries are becoming more and more powerful. A discovery by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg could now give them a significant energy boost.This post was originally published on this […]

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) offer high efficiency and low fabrication costs, making them strong candidates for next-generation photovoltaic technology. Printing techniques have become the preferred industrial pathway among available fabrication methods due to their compatibility […]

A Korean research team has developed a light-powered artificial muscle that operates freely underwater, paving the way for next-generation soft robotics.This post was originally published on this site

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, have developed a new, easily manufacturable solid-state thermoelectric refrigeration technology with nano-engineered materials that is twice as efficient as devices made with commercially […]

The construction industry accounts for approximately 37% of global CO₂ emissions. Traditional materials like cement, steel, and bricks contribute over 70% of its footprint, with cement production making up an especially large share.This post was […]

When the wind hits an obstacle, it flows around it and creates a low-pressure zone on the other side, known as a “windwake.” This flow becomes clear in observing desert sand.This post was originally published […]

Sound can do more than just provide a nice beat. Sound waves have been used for everything from mapping the seafloor to breaking apart kidney stones. Thanks to a unique material structure, researchers can now […]

Removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere efficiently is often seen as a crucial need for combating climate change, but systems for removing carbon dioxide suffer from a tradeoff. Chemical compounds that efficiently remove CO₂ from […]

Offshore wind farms have the potential for large impacts on clean energy generation, as wind speeds are higher at sea than on land. However, this benefit comes at a high cost for marine life, which […]

Engineers have developed a water-based battery that could help Australian households store rooftop solar energy more safely, cheaply and efficiently than ever before.This post was originally published on this site
