Airplanes zoom overhead with wispy-white contrails that stream behind them. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) controlled 43,684 flights, on average, daily in 2016, and U.S. commercial and military flights together used more than 20 billion gallons of jet fuel.
Electrolysis, a process by which electricity is used to split the water molecule, is the cleanest way to get hydrogen, a clean and renewable fuel. Currently, researchers at ICIQ and URV, headed by Prof. José Ramón Galán-Mascarós, designed a new catalyst that lowers the cost of electrolytic hydrogen production.
Methane gas, an abundant natural resource, is frequently disposed of through burning, but new research by researchers at MIT could make it easier to trap this gas for use as a chemical feedstock or fuel.
One may think the term “cool flame” sounds like an oxymoron. However, it is an important constituent in diesel combustion, a constituent that when properly perceived can lead to the development of superior engine designs that have lesser emissions and higher efficiency.
It appears to be like a regular roof, but the top of the Packard Electrical Engineering Building at Stanford University has indeed been the setting of a number of milestones in the development of a unique cooling technology capable of someday being a part of an individual’s daily life.
According to a team of Researchers at Georgia State University, more efficient artificial solar cells could be designed using a natural process that occurs during photosynthesis.
A team of researchers led by Yuan Yang, assistant professor of materials science and engineering at Columbia Engineering, together with colleagues at the Department of Chemistry at Columbia University, and Stanford University have created a new, scalable, and low-cost “dip and dry” technique for fabricating a very efficient selective solar absorber (SSA) that can harness and convert sunlight to heat for use in a broad range of energy-related applications, from heating water and producing steam to residential heating.
Photovoltaic conversion is considered to be the ultimate solution to the mankind's constantly growing demand for energy, yet the standard silicon-based solar cells are costly to produce, and the production itself deals with intensive energy consumption.
The U.S. Department of Energy has made a prediction that by the year 2030, wind energy could provide 20% of electricity in the U.S. This has driven researchers from the University of Utah’s Department of Mechanical Engineering to examine the performance capabilities and financial advantages of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) in suburban and urban areas.
The newest innovation at The City College of New York-based CUNY Energy Institute is a new generation of manganese dioxide-zinc batteries with unparalleled cycle life and energy density. The discovery has made the regular household battery ideal for large grid storage applications.
