Germany’s renewable energy federation BEE said it is supporting a proposal by energy minister Sigmar Gabriel to convene a round table on an exit from coal and lignite in Europe’s largest economy.
A team of researchers has developed an elegant process for coating fragile perovskite layers with graphene for the first time. Subsequent measurements show that the graphene layer is an ideal front contact in several respects.
Metal powders, produced using clean primary energy sources, could provide a more viable long-term replacement for fossil fuels than other widely discussed alternatives, such as hydrogen, biofuels or batteries, according to a new study.
adminResearchers have taken atomic-level images of individual nanoparticles during heating that could lead to improved fuel-cell technologies.
HENRY FOUNTAINAlthough aviation was left out of the climate treaty adopted in December, reducing emissions remains a priority at the core of several research efforts.
Finding a technology to shift carbon dioxide, the most abundant anthropogenic greenhouse gas, from a climate change problem to a valuable commodity has long been a dream. Now, a team of chemists says they have developed a technology to economically convert atmospheric CO2 directly into highly valued carbon nanofibers for industrial and consumer products.
adminAdvances in ultrathin films have made solar panels and semiconductor devices more efficient and less costly, and researchers say they’ve found a way to manufacture the films more easily, too.
