Korean researchers found a way to turn wet coffee grounds into cleaner, faster biochar, skipping the energy-intensive drying ...

(Phys.org) —Renewable energy sources such as wind-powered generators can be more reliable and efficient by better controlling the process of getting electricity onto the power grid, according to a ...

How can energy transfer catalysis move beyond fragile molecular light absorbers toward more robust and tunable systems? Here we show that tiny gold nanostructures can act as universal energy donors to ...

Catalysis can contribute in many ways to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Here, the opportunities arising through the interplay of biomass valorization and distributed production ...

At the heart of energy conversion, electrons and protons move in an intricate, coordinated dance. Chemists at Yale and in Sweden say they may have learned the steps to a new, photo-chemical rhumba.

Energy efficiency in physics is not measured the way most people think about it. Instead of asking how much heat a process produces per unit of fuel, physicists often compare how much of a substance’s ...

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Interconnection Innovation e-Xchange (i2X) has released a new roadmap, the Distributed Energy Resource Interconnection Roadmap, which is expected to form shorter ...

Finding reliable, eco-friendly power sources is crucial as our world grapples with increasing energy needs and the urgent call to combat climate change. Solar energy offers one solution, with ...

Almost all energy-generation processes require significant amounts of water. However, few energy-planning tools account for these needs. As part of its Thirsty Energy Initiative, the World Bank is ...

Understanding the sun from afar isn't easy. NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft -- which orbits Mercury, and so is as close as 28 million miles from the sun versus Earth's 93 million miles -- is near enough ...
