Technology that turns solar energy into hydrogen fuel nears “practical feasibility threshold” for solar hydrogen generation
Israeli and Italian scientists have developed a renewable energy technology that converts solar energy into hydrogen fuel, and according to the team, it’s nearing the threshold of practical viability. “Think of this research as a sort of artificial photosynthesis,” said Lilac Amirav, a chemistry professor at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. “We start with a semiconductor that’s very […]

Researchers demonstrate how a novel membrane allows separation of hydrogen gas
A group of researchers from Nagoya Institute of Technology in Japan led by Professor Yuji Iwamoto collaborated with researchers from France to successfully demonstrate how a novel membrane allows highly selective separation of hydrogen gas generated from the photoelectrochemical (PEC) reaction. “Membrane separation is attractive as a low-cost hydrogen gas purification technology. However, current techniques face […]

Astronomers pick up radio signals from planets outside our solar system for the first time
Astronomers have picked up weak radio signals from 19 red dwarf stars – with four thought to have planets orbiting them – 165 light years away. Australia’s Dr. Benjamin Pope points out that it is the first time radio signals from planets outside our solar system have been picked up. “This could potentially lead to […]

Form Energy CEO reveals “multiday storage” solution for buffering renewable power without breaking the bank
Form Energy Inc. recently announced the battery chemistry of its first commercial product that could offer long-duration storage at a price of less than $20 per kilowatt-hour (kWh). That product is a rechargeable iron-air battery capable of delivering electricity for 100 hours at system costs competitive with conventional power plants and at less than 1/10th the cost […]

Guesswork magically turns fossil fuel into so-called “carbon-neutral” natural gas
A team of junior traders at TotalEnergies SE orchestrated the company’s first shipment of “carbon-neutral” natural gas in September last year with a little help from Google and a lot of guesswork. Carbon-neutral natural gas is the greenest-possible designation for fossil fuel and an important step in making the French energy giant’s core product more palatable […]

Personal care products are responsible for a large amount of smog hanging over cities
A recent study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has revealed that deodorant, sunblock and bug spray are responsible for a large amount of smog hanging over cities. With millions of people applying these products in close proximity, the particles greatly add to ozone pollution – even more than traffic. In New York […]

Form Energy CEO claims iron-air battery can “fully retire thermal assets like coal and natural gas”
Form Energy Inc. on Thursday, July 22, unveiled its first commercial product – a rechargeable iron-air battery capable of delivering electricity for 100 hours at system costs competitive with conventional power plants and at less than 1/10th the cost of lithium-ion. Made from iron, one of the safest, cheapest and most abundant minerals on Earth, the […]

Theoretical physicist says contacting alien life is a terrible idea
American theoretical physicist Michio Kaku said that contacting alien life is a terrible idea. “Soon we’ll have the Webb telescope up in orbit and we’ll have thousands of planets to look at, and that’s why I think the chances are quite high that we may make contact with an alien civilization,” said Kaku, referring to […]
