New thermal energy storage technology uses sand as medium
Energy storage is becoming a critical component of the economy. Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power are changing how our buildings, industries and grids operate. However, they remain intermittent, and as such, energy storage remains critical. To meet the energy storage problem, researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are developing a […]

“Rifts” and “layers” discovered in the Mars ionosphere can help experts understand radio interference on Earth
The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) spacecraft found structures in the planet’s ionosphere similar to atmospheric structures that are known to cause problems with radio communications on Earth. MAVEN uncovered two types of structure in the Martian ionosphere: layers and rifts. These structures also occur in the Earth’s ionosphere, where they can interfere with […]

Antarctica has cooled – not warmed up – over the last 40 years
As a whole, the Antarctic has cooled by about 2 degrees Celsius in the same 40-year period (1979 to 2018) that carbon dioxide rose from 337 to 410 parts per million – meaning that the world is actually getting colder, not hotter. A paper published in the journal Atmosphere noted that the trends from ERA5 are consistent […]

Study finds pesticides kill bees even below recommended doses
A new study from the University of California, Riverside revealed that a common class of insecticides is harmful to bees even below recommended doses. Neonicotinoids are insecticides that protect plants from harmful insects like aphids; however, they can also seriously harm beneficial insects like bees. This insecticide, which is chemically similar to nicotine, is widely used by commercial growers. […]

UAE to make drinking water out of thin air
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) plans to install water generators that can turn moisture in the air into water for public consumption. Powered by solar energy, these “hyper-dehumidifiers” can provide plenty of water to people, thanks to the humid UAE air. The technology is going to be tested in October. About 20 of these dehumidifiers can […]
