Rice University researchers boosted the stability of their low-energy, copper-ruthenium syngas photocatalysts by shrinking the active sites to single atoms of ruthenium (blue). Credit: John…
Between 2005 and 2016, the shift away from coal saved an estimated 26,610 lives and 570 million bushels of crops. The decommissioning of coal-fired power…
Chemists have found a new use for the waste product of nuclear power — transforming an unused stockpile into a versatile compound which could be…
Scientists show how using only water, iron, nickel and electricity can create hydrogen energy much more cheaply than before. Hydrogen-powered cars may soon become more…
A small-scale device, seen here, was used in the lab to demonstrate the effectiveness of the new shockwave-based system for removing radioactive contaminants from the…
A major issue with operating ring-shaped fusion facilities known as tokamaks is keeping the plasma that fuels fusion reactions free of impurities that could reduce…
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, and it currently leaks from production wells, storage tanks, pipelines, and urban distribution pipes for natural gas. Pictured is…

Accelerator tunnel at the European XFEL. Credit: DESY Fusion by strong lasers: HZDR scientists want to use quantum mechanics to trigger the fusion of atomic…
Looking into the hard X-ray nanoprobe synchrotron chamber while measuring a response of an individual cuprous oxide particle to the exposure of carbon dioxide, water,…
Engineers have characterized the thermal energy conversion mechanism in the lattice of an advanced nanomaterial called chalcogenide perovskite and demonstrated its ‘tunability’ — important for…
A liquified natural gas tanker near shore. Because of greater supply and cheaper prices, natural gas usage has surged, accounting for 60 percent of fossil…

Here’s a visualization of what a RED cell looks like. The hydrogen is produced at the cathode end and oxygen is produced at the anode…
Researchers of the Faculty of Science of the University of Malaga (UMA) have designed a low-cost T-shirt that generates electricity from the temperature difference between…
The hybrid device consists of a molecular storage material (MSM) and a localized phase-change material (L-PCM), separated by a silica aerogel to maintain the necessary…
This is a set up for ultrafast spectroscopy, as used in the study. Credit: Maxim Pchenitchnikov, University of Groningen The efficiency of solar panels is…
This is professor Ernst Bauer in his lab. Credit: TU Wien A new type of material generates electrical current very efficiently from temperature differences. This…
Anaerobic digesters, like those pictured here, can be used to convert sewage sludge and fatty waste into natural gas. Photo credit: Rachel Schowalter. Shared by…
