4+ day, 7+ hour ago   (872+ words) MIT researchers have now developed an electrochemical approach to promote hydrogen release from ammonia while simultaneously separating and concentrating the hydrogen into a high-purity stream. Their strategy, which uses electricity to speed up the extraction, reduces the temperature and energy…...

1+ week, 7+ hour ago   (281+ words) Water typically moves from the land to the atmosphere through soil evaporation and plant transpiration. This process is called evapotranspiration. It plays a major role in events such as drought and heat waves. However, many existing computer models struggle to…...

2+ week, 5+ day ago   (622+ words) A newly launched German-Chilean initiative, PaNaBat, is attempting to solve these issues.1,2 The project's first phase will run from February 2026 to January 2029 and is coordinated by the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research (Fraunhofer ISC) in Würzburg, with €450,000 in funding from…...

2+ week, 6+ day ago   (701+ words) Scientists have developed a new catalyst that could make converting carbon dioxide into synthetic fuel more efficient. Using a rapid flame-based production method, the researchers created a nickel-ceria catalyst that converted 85% of CO2 at 400 °C while achieving 98% methane selectivity, outperforming a…...

3+ week, 3+ day ago   (756+ words) Forge Nano Breaks Ground on a major expansion of its lithium-ion battery manufacturing facility in Morrisville, North Carolina, as part of its U.S. battery manufacturing platform and in partnership with Samsung SDI. The expansion will transform Forge Nano's existing 100,000-square-foot Morrisville…...

3+ week, 3+ day ago   (989+ words) The traditional way of making ammonia, in use for more than a century and accounting for the vast majority of production, is the Haber-Bosch process, which relies on fossil fuels to provide the needed heat. Hydrogen used in the process…...

3+ week, 5+ day ago   (589+ words) The food service industry is under mounting pressure to abandon single-use plastic, and NantBioRenewables believes the answer lies beneath the ocean's surface. Based in Gadsden, Alabama, US, the company produces Wave Ware™, a line of compostable straws, plates, bowls, trays,…...

3+ week, 6+ day ago   (673+ words) Researchers have developed a compact hollow-fiber electrode system that could help overcome key barriers to large-scale carbon dioxide removal from seawater. By combining a porous stainless steel hollow-fiber cathode with a coaxial ion-exchange membrane and counter electrode, the continuous-flow device…...
