"This technology presents a new paradigm in which waste is no longer viewed as a disposal problem but as a valuable energy ...

With millions of electric vehicle batteries nearing the end of their use, researchers have ...

Providing safer drinking water to those in need may be a little easier. A new desalination technique is able to remove salt from water using less energy than previous methods. Providing safer drinking ...

For all living things to succeed, they must reproduce and have the energy to do so. An organism's ability to extract energy from its surroundings-and to do it better than its competitors-is a key ...

Ammonia has enormous potential as a fuel of the future, but most current production methods make it a dirty source of energy. Yet a new method from MIT that would derive the compound using the Earth's ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)—a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility for nuclear ...

Conventional ethylene production via steam cracking generates massive carbon emissions—about one ton of CO₂ per ton of ethylene—creating a major climate burden. Researchers developed a highly ...

New electrolyzer has three innovations. It uses electricity to create ethylene from syngas, a waste gas produced from plastic. It uses a novel material to help catalyze the reaction. And it does so in ...

Nitrogen-based synthetic fertilizer forms the backbone of the world food supply, but its manufacture requires a tremendous amount of energy. Now, computer modeling at Princeton University points to a ...
