A research team led by Dr. Choi, Young-chan from the Clean Air Research Laboratory at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has successfully converted cashew nut shells, discarded during cashew nut food product manufacturing, into an eco-friendly biofuel.
Larry Seiber, an R&D staff member in the Vehicle Power Electronics group at the Department of Energy鈥檚 Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been elevated to senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, or IEEE.
A research team has developed an advanced smart surveillance system that leverages deep learning and autonomous robotics to monitor tomato plant growth in greenhouses.
Kevin Gurney, a professor from NAU鈥檚 School of Informatics, Computing, and Cyber Systems, found that a global database co-founded by Gore was underestimating greenhouse gas emissions at power plants by an average of 50%.
Today, Electrified Processes for Industry Without Carbon, or EPIXC, took its first steps toward that ambitious goal and announced its first volley of efforts targeting industrial greenhouse gas emissions.
Scientists at Case Western Reserve University hope to completely upend the process of refining these minerals, which are necessary in hundreds of high-tech applications, including cell phones, computer hard drives and medications.
Scientists have developed a groundbreaking two-line system that uses CRISPR/Cas9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat) technology to control pollination in rapeseed by targeting the Oxophytodienoic acid reductase 3 (OPR3) gene. This innovation offers a more stable and efficient approach to hybrid breeding, bypassing the environmental vulnerabilities of traditional methods and promising higher crop yields and enhanced agricultural productivity.
The Horizon 2020 SOLiDIFY consortium, comprised of 14 European partners, has developed a high-performance lithium-metal solid-state battery. The manufacturing process, which is both cost-effective and adaptable to existing production lines, paves the way for commercially viable solid-state lithium-metal batteries for electromobility.
Of the first five U.S. states to implement food waste bans, only Massachusetts was successful at diverting waste away from landfills and incinerators, according to a new study from the University of California Rady School of Management.
The impact of embodied carbon in the built environment has been difficult to assess, due to a lack of data. To address that knowledge gap, Ming Hu, the associate dean for research, scholarship and creative work in Notre Dame's School of Architecture, and Siavash Ghorbany, a Notre Dame graduate student in civil and environmental engineering, have created a new tool to analyze the embodied carbon in more than 1 million buildings in Chicago. Their recently published research identifies 157 different architectural housing types in the city and provides the first ever visual analysis tool to evaluate embodied carbon at a granular level and to help inform policymakers seeking to strategically plan for urban carbon mitigation.
Efficient technology for splitting the hydrogen-oxygen bond in water could be the key to producing low-cost, green hydrogen for energy storage at an industrial scale. Green hydrogen is expected to play a significant role in achieving the target of net zero carbon dioxide emissions. In a new study, an interdisciplinary group of researchers have identified a way to use 鈥渄efect engineering鈥 to significantly boost catalytic efficiency, taking science one step closer to sustainable, green hydrogen production.
Dr. Jung Unho's research team at the Hydrogen Research Department of the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has developed Korea's first clean hydrogen production technology.
An ingredient in many toothpastes is sodium fluoride, a compound of fluorine. It is added to protect teeth against decay. But compounds containing fluorine have other practical uses that might surprise you. The U.S. Department of Energy鈥檚 Argonne National Laboratory scientists have discovered a fluoride electrolyte that could protect a next generation battery against performance decline.
