A team at the Technion Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering has developed a new technology for producing green hydrogen using renewable energy. This breakthrough should reduce the costs of production and accelerate the use Read More
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a strain of bacteria that can turn polyethylene plastic into a “bio-inspired spider silk” with potential applications for use in textiles, cosmetics, and medicine. “Spider silk is nature’s Read More
Engineers at the University of Colorado of Boulder and Sandia National Laboratories have developed a new design for padding that can better withstand strong impacts than conventional materials. The new padding could be used wherever Read More
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology developed a functional semiconductor made from graphene. Their new semiconductor is compatible with conventional microelectronics processing methods, which was a requirement for any viable alternative to the use Read More
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a new type of mechanical sensor that could eliminate the need for batteries to power sensors that require a constant supply of power. Their new sensor is powered by Read More
The Oxford Martin Programme on the Future of Plastics, at the University of Oxford, has outlined targets to help deliver a sustainable and net zero plastic economy. The global plastics system results in over 1 Read More
DARPA is entering the first phase of its Persistent Optical Wireless Energy Relay program (POWER) which will seek to power an entire drone swarm – including its directed-energy weapons – using lasers. According to DARPA’s Read More
EtaVolt – a spin-off from Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) – has developed a device that can rejuvenate and extend the life of photovoltaic (PV) panels. Under harsh environmental conditions, solar panels quickly begin to Read More
Biodiesel offers a promising solution to the need for cleaner alternatives to fossil fuels, but the high cost of biodiesel production and potential pollution from biomass sources have prevented its widespread use. Now, researchers at Read More
A research team at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a very safe, aqueous, rechargeable battery, advancing the possibility of commercializing the technology. Aqueous rechargeable batteries – which use low-cost and Read More
