Thermal management is essential for reducing future heating and cooling energy consumption. Notably, the near-infrared (NIR) component of sunlight is closely associated with heat absorption.

Hexagonal tungsten oxide nanorods are highly promising for sodium-based near-infrared electrochromic windows. However, conventional dopants limit the performance of these devices. In a new study, ...

Kemmerer, Wyoming, could be home to a new kind of nuclear power plant by 2030. While government officials are across-the-board supportive, residents are much more hesitant.

AerynOS is an independent Linux distribution. It includes a unique installation and package manager. You can download and install this OS for free. I love a good ...

What if the future of energy storage didn’t rely on expensive, hard-to-source materials like lithium? In the video below, Ziroth breaks down how CATL’s reinforced sodium-ion battery could redefine the ...

In advance of hurricane force winds moving into Colorado earlier this week, Xcel Energy preemptively shut off power to protect areas of the state from extreme fire danger. But due to the outage, time ...

A new sodium-ion battery offers a cheaper and safer alternative to conventional lithium-ion systems, scientists say, paving the way for more sustainable EVs. When you purchase through links on our ...

Shareholders were extremely pleased by the biotech's latest news from the lab. This concerned its pipeline weight-loss drug aleniglipron. Structure, which concentrates on metabolic diseases with a ...

UCLA scientists have characterized the structure and function of a key survival protein in breast cancer cells that helps explain how these tumors resist environmental stress and thrive in acidic, low ...

The inside of giant planets can reach pressures more than one million times the Earth's atmosphere. As a result of that intense pressure, materials can adopt unexpected structures and properties.

American battery startup Peak Energy and energy developer Jupiter Power have teamed up to deploy grid-scale sodium-ion batteries. It's a big step forward for the nascent—and in some ways, ...

All-solid-state batteries promise safer, more powerful energy storage for electric vehicles, electronics, and the grid. But lithium, the critical element inside, is costly, scarce, and damaging to ...
