Early Universe ‘Warmed Up’ Later than Previously Believed
A new study from Tel Aviv University reveals that black holes, formed from the first stars in our universe, heated the gas throughout space...
Scientists discover new pathway for artificial photosynthesis
Humans have for ages taken cues from nature to build their own devices, but duplicating the steps in the complicated electronic dance of photosynthesis...
A better, cheaper catalyst for water-splitting devices
Solar energy appears to be the only form of renewable that can be exploited at levels that match the world's growing needs. However, it is...
Greenhouse gas might have warmed early Mars enough to allow liquid...
The mystery of how the surface of Mars, long dead and dry, could have flowed with water billions of years ago may have been...
Wormy photoanode breaks record for solar hydrogen production efficiency
A research team of Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), South Korea, developed a “wormlike” hematite photoanode that can convert sunlight and...
Improved nuclear fuel-rod cladding might prevent future Fukushimas
In the aftermath of Japan’s earthquake and tsunami in March 2011, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was initially driven into shutdown by the magnitude...
Champion nano-rust for producing solar hydrogen
Water and some nano-structured iron oxide is all it takes to produce bubbles of solar hydrogen. EPFL and Technion scientists just discovered the champion...
New catalyst could cut cost of making hydrogen fuel
A discovery at the University of Wisconsin-Madison may represent a significant advance in the quest to create a "hydrogen economy" that would use this...
Game changer in alternative energy
A team of Virginia Tech researchers has discovered a way to extract large quantities of hydrogen from any plant, a breakthrough that has the...
Chemists develop liquid-based hydrogen storage material
University of Oregon chemists have developed a boron-nitrogen-based liquid-phase storage material for hydrogen that works safely at room temperature and is both air- and...
