We are now a step closer to harnessing nuclear fusion
A fusion reactor built out of unsafe and unreliable parts might as well be called a thermonuclear bomb. Aware of this problem, European researchers paired together different imaging techniques to make a dual-imaging system that can accurately determine the quality of the reactor components before final assembly. Practical nuclear fusion is not just about replicating the process […]

Research team creates a variety of eco-friendly battery shapes using 3D printing technology
Researchers from South Korea have tapped additive manufacturing techniques and environment-friendly materials to develop a plethora of new batteries. These new energy storage devices can be printed in the right shape and size, so they can fit even the smallest and oddest-shaped wearable electronics. There is an increasing number of flexible electronics and wireless devices that are […]

Researchers find a powerful fuel catalyst – in Jell-O
The ingredient responsible for Jell-O’s famous jiggling can be used to make an incredibly cost-effective catalyst for producing hydrogen fuel. Researchers claimed that their gelatin-derived compound can match the performance of its much more expensive platinum-based equivalent. The new water-splitting material is made up of extremely thin sheets of metal carbide, an inexpensive earth element found nearly everywhere. Gelatin is […]

New nanomaterial could lead to a highly sensitive biomolecule sensor or a more efficient solar cell
Visible and infrared light will not escape from the new plasmonic absorber developed by Singaporean researchers. Called Ag-Sb2S3, the silver-based nanomaterial can transfer all of the light it captures to photovoltaic cells for producing energy, or to sensitive detectors that can pick out minute biomolecules floating in the air. Despite being made from expensive silver, Ag-Sb2S3 enjoys low […]

MIT engineers have created a “Sun in a box” which stores renewable energy to be used on demand
The new renewable energy storage method devised by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has a proper technical name. But many call it “Sun in a box” because of its conceptual resemblance to the giant ball in the sky that provides the Earth with seemingly unlimited amounts of energy. Just like the Sun, the Thermal Energy Grid […]

Experts developing devices that run 100 times faster than regular computers, and use just a fraction of the energy
Nowadays, it isn’t enough to make a computer chip faster, especially if it is going to use up more electricity as well. So Canadian researchers devised an all-silicon computing device that they built on the atomic scale in order to increase both processing power and energy efficiency. The prototype device is not just the herald of lightning-fast computing […]

Purple phototrophic bacteria being studied as a potential means to convert sewage to clean energy
Spanish researchers are touting a certain strain of phototrophic bacteria as a cheap, clean, and efficient means of extracting organic compounds from sewage. They claim the recovered materials can be turned into useful bioplastics and biofuel. Phototrophic bacteria are different from their photosynthetic cousins in that they can only store energy derived from sunlight. While they can absorb other […]

New stable photoelectrochemical cell opens the door to more efficient solar cells
New York-based researchers have finally solved the serious instability problems that plague solar cells involved in the production of hydrogen fuel. They encased the cell in a very thin layer of titanium dioxide that allows the passage of light but keeps disruptive effects out. The encapsulation technique physically separates the volatile solar cell from the energetic […]

Researchers create a more energy efficient organic LED
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are going to be much more energy efficient from now on. Korean researchers say they have found a way to improve the external quantum efficiency of an OLED unit. As their name implies, OLEDs are light-emitting diodes that use organic materials to generate light. This makes them more eco-friendly while retaining most […]

Scientists create a “bionic mushroom” that produces electricity
What do you get when you combine an edible mushroom, photosynthetic bacteria, 3D printing, and nanotechnology in one package? A solar-powered bionic fungus, stated a Phys.org article, which can produce usable electricity. This Frankenstein’s Monster is the brainchild of researchers from the Stevens Institute of Technology (Stevens). They used a 3D printer to create cyanobacteria clusters and graphene-based nanoribbons, which […]
