Belgian scientists successfully create 2-in-1 solar panel that also produces hydrogen
Scientists from KU Leuven in Belgium have recently developed a solar panel that converts moisture in the air to produce hydrogen. This allows the solar panels to generate electricity through sunlight and to power heating systems using the resulting hydrogen. Lead investigator Johan Martens of KU Leuven told news outlet VRT NWS that he and his team […]

Freshly squeezed: Spanish city tapping leftover oranges for its electricity supply
The inhabitants of a city in southern Spain are making use of oranges to produce a different kind of juice – one that powers the entire city. Life gave bitter oranges to the residents of Seville, the capital of Spain’s southern Andalusia region. But instead of throwing them away, Seville residents tapped these oranges as […]

CLOSING THE LOOP: Company makes clean fuel from non-recyclable plastics
Non-recyclable plastics are ubiquitous waste materials in all parts of the globe. But one company has found good use for these materials by converting these into fuels for airplanes and ships. Moreover, the company’s resulting marine and aviation fuels emit 75 percent less carbon dioxide than their conventional counterparts. British company Clean Planet Energy (CPE) is looking to give non-recyclable […]

Low-cost filter utilizes sunlight to remove impurities from water
A new low-cost filter is set to address water purification for those living off the grid. The filter — which resembles a large sponge — soaks up water but leaves contaminants such as pathogens and chemicals behind. Placing the filter under the sun allows clean water to pass through, which can then be collected for use. The […]

Scientists look to magnesium for better electric vehicle batteries
Lithium has been the backbone of electric vehicle (EV) batteries for some time now. But scientists are now looking to magnesium – touted to be a better replacement for lithium – to power the EVs of tomorrow. However, there are certain issues with using magnesium for EV batteries, so scientists are working to overcome these roadblocks. One […]

Bacteria can recover precious metals from old batteries for use in new ones
Many countries have shifted to promoting electric vehicles (EVs) as an alternative to fossil-fuel-powered vehicles. However, the production of batteries for these EVs requires the use of precious metals, the mining operations for which are thought to cause serious harm to the environment. In response to this, a scientist has put forward the use of bacteria to recover […]

Researchers look into developing periodic tables for molecules
A research team from the Tokyo University of Technology (Tokyo Tech) has proposed a “periodic table” for molecules with different geometrical symmetries. The team’s study, published in Nature Communications, introduces a new approach that’s based on keen observation of the behavior of valence electrons. Valence electrons are found in the outer shell of atoms, and they […]
