Can hydrogen really become No.1 source of clean energy in the future? Well, still difficult to say but there is definitely a huge potential.Hydrogen, unlike fossil fuels, burns clean, meaning there are no greenhouse gases that cause climate change and air pollution. This means that from an environmental point of view hydrogen remains one of the best energy sources that would allow switch to clean energy future.The most recent breakthrough research comes from the scientists in Japan who have successfully split water into hydrogen and oxygen using light and meticulously designed catalysts with almost 100{f24b02adee2102ff0c5f5079c50862fc8ba5fa53f8615b567037555463da2377} quantum efficiency.This gives hope that the scalable, economically viable hydrogen production could be well achievable in years to come.
Battery Technology | Electric Cars | Solar Power | TransportationSolar Team Great Britain has started a kickstarter page to help fund their design for entry in the 2017 World Solar Challenge. Founder Steven Heape leads a team of volunteers from many different disciplines, companies and universities working on a family-sized solar car to compete in the cruiser class. “Cruiser Class is about two or […]
Lake Poopó was officially declared evaporated in December, forcing many people to leave the area.
When you add up the aluminum foil you used to wrap your sandwich, the yogurt you brought for dessert, and the can of soda you washed it all down with, it starts to become apparent that lunch is the most wasteful meal of the day. If you’re ever in doubt of this, take a look at your office’s trash bins around 2 o’clock. James Ransom For all of the awareness on food waste, it’s an issue that’s not getting any better. A 2014 Los Angeles Times piece reported that the city’s public school system tosses $100,000 worth of food a day. The good news is that there are easy solutions to curbing your lunch waste. Here are eight ways to reduce your lunch …
In solar flow batteries, the proposed charging process links harvesting solar energy and storing it as chemical energy via the electrolyte. Scientists built a solar flow battery that uses an eco-friendly, compatible solvent and needs a lower applied voltage to recharge the battery.
Researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind self-healing gel that repairs and connects electronic circuits, creating opportunities to advance the development of flexible electronics, biosensors and batteries as energy storage devices.
