Ammonia identified as a cost-effective material to store energy for fuel cells
On paper, fuel cells offer the best of both worlds. They can provide clean electric power for vehicles, without the need for long charging times that plague most EVs. The main problem with fuel cells, however, is that they use hydrogen, which is quite flammable and needs specialized infrastructure and equipment to handle. To address […]

Department of Energy issues emergency order to help California avoid blackouts
The Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a rare, seven-day emergency order to help preserve the reliability of California’s bulk power system. The order came after the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) made a request to the DOE on September 6. The DOE’s order authorizes three natural gas-fueled power stations to operate at their maximum […]

Rolling blackouts demonstrate why California’s “green” power grid is the worst in the country
Over a million California residents suffered power blackouts last Friday evening. High temperatures caused consumer demand to exceed the available power, which forced California utility companies to implement rotating outages to reduce demand. The rolling blackouts highlight the poor state of California’s power grid, widely considered the worse in the nation; a grid whose reliability […]

Study: New radioactivity model indicates lost continents of early Earth, challenging current models
Current geological models of Earth’s past tend to assume that the seven continents as we know them have been consistent throughout out planet’s history. A recent study, however, has called that into doubt, hinting at the possibility that other continents may have come and gone in our planet’s prehistoric past. Scientists at the University of Adelaide in Australia have published […]

Energy from an unlikely source: A combination of microbes and graphene could make inexpensive and eco-friendly energy
The quest for renewable energy has led some scientists to think small, that is, on a microscopic scale. A recent study has demonstrated how mixing microbes and a carbon nanomaterial can be used to help create biohybrid materials that can be used in several green energy applications. Led by Pascal Sailaly, a team at the […]
