Scientists build circuit that generates clean, limitless power from graphene
Physicists from the University of Arkansas (UArk) have successfully developed a circuit capable of generating electricity from the natural thermal motion of graphene. “An energy-harvesting circuit based on graphene could be incorporated into a chip to provide clean, limitless, low-voltage power for small devices or sensors,” said lead researchers Paul Thibado, a professor of physics and lead […]

Old EV lithium-ion batteries can be “harvested” to produce new batteries, say researchers
A recent study has figured out how valuable materials in old electric vehicle (EV) batteries can be “harvested” and used to make new batteries. The disposal of old batteries remains a significant challenge for EVs. Once these batteries reach the end of their service lives, they are dumped as electronic waste or e-waste. E-waste, which […]

Methanol fuel cells shown to provide higher efficiency than pure hydrogen
A new analysis shows that methanol fuel cells are more efficient at producing electricity than hydrogen fuel cells. Fuel cells use hydrogen – the most abundant element in the universe – to produce clean and efficient electricity to power cars, trucks, buses and ships, as well as even homes and businesses. Hydrogen is considered the cleanest […]

Bladeless turbines could help bring wind power to your home
A Spanish green energy company is pioneering the development of bladeless turbines that can harness energy from wind without the sweeping white blades that have become synonymous with wind power. The bladeless turbines are the work of Madrid-based startup Vortex Bladeless. Thanks to its innovative design, the company recently won the approval of Norway’s state […]

Immense hydrocarbon cycle discovered in the world’s oceans
In a new study, researchers discovered a whole new cycle of natural hydrocarbon production and recycling in the world’s oceans. This discovery can help scientists better understand how the ocean’s microbes will respond to hydrocarbons present in spilled petroleum. The study was conducted by researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). Using funding […]

“Wearable microgrid” uses energy from the human body to power small gadgets
Engineers at the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) have developed a “wearable microgrid” that’s able to utilize energy from the human body to power small electronic devices. In a paper published on March 9 in the journal Nature Communications, the researchers said that they drew inspiration from community microgrids. “We’re applying the concept of […]

Solar cell technology is being adapted to detect chemical warfare agents and pesticides
In what is a unique application of new green technology, Australian researchers have figured out how to adapt a component from solar cells to develop a light-based detection system for deadly toxins. According to them, the system they’ve designed can be used to detect the presence of chemical warfare agents and pesticides. While the former have been banned internationally […]

Newly discovered “swirlonic state” of matter bends the laws of physics
Researchers have discovered a new kind of active matter that bends the laws of physics. Dubbed “swirlon,” the new matter behaves similarly to how fishes swim in schools and birds fly in murmurations. The laws of physics apply to passive, nonliving matter, ranging from planets all the way down to the smallest atoms. But according to Nikolai Brilliantov, a […]

Gold-coated silver nanowires promise cheaper, more flexible smart glass
Scientists from the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) in Canada developed a new way to create foldable and solid devices using silver nanowires coated in gold. Solid and flexible electrochromic (EC) devices, such as foldable displays in smartphones, smart windows and wearable electronics traditionally use iridium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes. But despite their use in […]

Paper arguing for intelligent design passes peer review
A new paper that has argued for the concept of intelligent design (ID) has just passed peer review. Published in the Journal of Theoretical Biology, the paper argues that living beings are too exquisitely complex to have arisen by mindless, purposeless forces of nature, expressing this argument in mathematical terms. In the paper, researchers Steinar Thorvaldsen of The Arctic […]
