Study captures life cycle of solar flares, but how do flares affect us on Earth?
Researchers are taking another big step toward understanding the behavior of the sun and the effects of its solar weather on Earth. They recently released the most accurate animated depiction of a solar flare going through its entire life cycle. The short movie covers a hypothetical flare’s existence from its formation to its conclusion. Its use of distinct colors show how the temperatures […]

Researchers develop unique 3D-printed cube that harvests ambient energy from cell phones and modems
Saudi researchers recently presented a cube-shaped device that could gather ambient energy from active electronic devices. The new energy harvester could be manufactured using a 3D printer, making it cheap and easy to produce in large numbers. The cube offered a way to provide power to the increasing number of smart devices that were often linked together to form an Internet […]

Tiny disorganized crystals may hold the key to new magnesium battery energy storage technology
Magnesium-based energy storage systems are heralded as the most likely successor to lithium-ion batteries. A recent discovery involving disordered nanoparticles of magnesium chromium oxide could further increase the already considerable amount of energy that can be stored by magnesium batteries. Researchers from the University College London (UCL) and the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) developed […]

New floating PV panels can generate up to 10 percent of U.S. electricity needs
In order to conserve land, researchers proposed an alternative location for space-intensive solar energy farms. They wanted to set up floating solar photovoltaic arrays on the surfaces of the thousands of artificial reservoirs that provide drinking water and hydroelectric power to the United States. A recent study conducted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) pointed out that there […]

New research simplifies the process of harvesting solar energy to generate fuels
Harvesting hydrogen gas from water is going to be a much cheaper process thanks to the findings of New York-based researchers. They found a way to make the water splitting process much simpler, which could increase the overall efficiency of hydrogen fuel production and save on expended catalysts. As its name implies, water splitting is a method where the […]

Novel electrolytic process with plasma could open new doors in renewable energy
Ohio-based researchers reported the successful revival of an old way of producing the very useful compound ammonia. They used a plasma-based electrolytic reaction to create ammonia from nitrogen and water. Furthermore, they did not need to use any hydrogen or solid metal catalysts. Ammonia was first synthesized in the early 20th century. Nowadays, it is used to make fertilizer and numerous other products that […]

Silicon nanoparticles could extend the life of lithium-ion batteries by 10 times
When it comes to developing new battery technology, researchers either pour their efforts into a new replacement for lithium-ion batteries or find another way to milk more performance out of existing lithium-based systems. Canadian researchers took the latter approach by using nanoscale silicon particles to increase the charge capacity of a Li-ion cell. Their scientific paper detailed how they tested four different […]

Researchers develop high-energy magnesium batteries that can store more energy
A recent breakthrough in magnesium-based energy storage technology promised to make the tried-and-tested design much more competitive with lithium-ion systems. The updated battery achieved its vast increase in storage capacity and energy discharge by using an organic electrode alongside chloride-free electrolytes. High-energy magnesium batteries derived from the new design can be used in all kinds of roles. They could be […]

Powerful lithium-air batteries may soon “take batteries to the next level,” reveals study
Chicago-based researchers have come up with a new way to improve the performance and safety of lithium-ion batteries. They are going to remove the ionic part of the battery and replace it with air. These so-called lithium-air batteries have not yet left the experimental phase of development. However, they are already being touted as the next logical step for lithium-based energy […]

What’s UHVDC? It’s the future of power, that’s what
In the coming days, the electricity in China and other emerging countries will be delivered by ultra-high-voltage direct current (UHVDC). This modern take on an ancestral form of power transmission can deliver incredible amounts of electricity from one end of the massive country to another without losing any of it. The rapidly-increasing Chinese middle class […]
