Scientists at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, with the help of its collaborators, have developed a new catalyst that can reversibly convert hydrogen gas into carbon dioxide to produce a liquid, called formic acid. Hydrogen has always remained an attra
Existing energy storage methods miserably fail to keep up with the recent evolution in technologies and gadgets. There should be more consistent energy storage options apart from the traditional chemical batteries. A new kind of electrochemical capacitor
After a successful collaboration on an installation at California’s Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD), the two companies, Air Products and FuelCell Energy have now signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The purpose of the MoU is to work toge
As we progress, our lifestyle changes with us. Concepts that weren’t thought of or were figments of a person’s imagination are now realities. Reading has taken on a whole new meaning with most of it done online or using e-papers. Electronic papers pro
Pvilion, a New York City based company uses photovoltaics (PV) to create innovative and eco friendly architectural structures by seamlessly integrating stainless steel and flexible solar modules through a proprietary patent pending technology. Recently,
Alternative fuel sources are many, giving us the chance to generate power with clean results. However, current technology doesn’t really allow us to harness them properly and even when we can, the energy output isn’t sufficient. Among the renewables,
The humble snail has been transformed into a cyborg of sorts after researchers of Potsdam’s Clarkson University implanted it with a battery and used its own blood sugar to recharge it. If the little creatures can successfully generate enough power to dr
US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory recently conducted two studies, which revealed a new path for materials scientists to use previously unknown properties of nanocrystalline diamond thin films. The new discovery has made it possible t
Scientists at the Edinburgh University have recently discovered a uranium molecule, which they claim could be a breakthrough development for optimizing the cleanup process for nuclear waste. Radioactive molecules are the key component in the removal of n
A prototype optical chipset has been invented by US Based IBM scientists that can transfer data at speeds of up to one terabit per second. Dubbed as ‘Holey Optochip’, it is the first parallel optical transceiver that crossed the data transfer mark of
