Energy stored in thermochemical materials can effectively heat indoor spaces, particularly in humid regions, according to researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).This post was originally published on this site

Concreting mistakes can be expensive. Concrete poured too quickly often leads to a lack of color uniformity, irregularities in the structure and uneven surfaces. Particularly in the case of exposed concrete, expensive reworking using concrete […]

As the demand for electricity rises in the age of artificial intelligence (AI), global tech companies are focusing on small nuclear reactors as a sustainable energy solution. A new remote monitoring technology using advanced AI […]

Navigating the harsh terrain of other rocky worlds has consistently been challenging. The Free Spirit campaign unfortunately failed in its goal to will the plucky Martian rover out of the morass it found itself in, […]

Most people think of coffee cups, bathroom tiles or flower pots when they hear the word “ceramic.” Not so Frank Clemens. For the research group leader in Empa’s Laboratory for High-Performance Ceramics, ceramics can conduct […]

A multi-institutional trio of roboticists has designed and built a robot that mimics the abilities of the dung beetle. In their paper published in the journal Advanced Science, Binggwong Leung, Stanislav Gorb and Poramate Manoonpong […]
