“With user facilities, researchers devise novel battery chemistries to help make fluoride batteries a reality. The Science Energy-dense fluoride batteries are exciting, but they only work at high temperatures. A collaboration of researchers recently discovered a new liquid electrolyte. It …
“A collaboration led by ICIQ’s Palomares group deepens the understanding of the impact that changing the materials in a perovskite solar cell has on its performance. The results, published in the peer-reviewed journal Energy & Environmental Science, will help rationalize …
“A tiny, portable radar device could allow visually impaired people, or unmanned moving devices to detect objects in real time. Radar technology has been used for decades in aviation, defense and speed-camera technology. Now, a team at KAUST, in collaboration …
“A metasurface whose optical properties change in response to electricity provides precise control over the reflection and transmission of radiation The ability to manipulate light on a subwavelength-scale could lead to a revolution in photonic devices such as antennas, solar …
“Hydrogen is a clean and renewable energy carrier that can power vehicles, with water as the only emission. Unfortunately, hydrogen gas is highly flammable when mixed with air, so very efficient and effective sensors are needed. Now, researchers from Chalmers …
“VCU physics professor Loren Picco, Ph.D., is among a team of researchers that is the first to produce quantities of potentially revolutionary ribbons of phosphorene. Since the isolation of 2-dimensional phosphorene — the phosphorus equivalent of graphene — in 2014, more …
“European engineers have developed a novel generator that could be used to power thousands of homes. Ocean waves hold a tremendous amount of untapped energy that is more than capable of meeting the world’s electricity needs. However, electricity generation …
“UNSW Sydney is pursuing new partnerships to realise the potential of smart cities and hybrid energy storage systems to power them. UNSW Sydney will lead Australia’s first fully integrated smart city trial in partnership with Providence Asset Group (PAG …
“Researchers at EPFL have developed a simple mid-infrared laser source that can be used to detect pollution in the air or molecules in someone’s breath. Their system takes up considerably less space than the large ones typically used for …
“Scientists at the University of Virginia and elsewhere have made a surprising discovery about how strange bacteria that live in soil and sediment can conduct electricity. The bacteria do so, the researchers determined, through a seamless biological structure never before …
