Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Provides $18 Million to Over a Dozen Higher Education Institutions, Including 7 Minority Serving Institutions, and $54 Million to Train the Next Generation of Clean Energy and Manufacturing Workers WASHINGTON, D.C. — As part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) … [continued]
AUSTIN, Texas — More of the world’s coastal glaciers are melting faster than ever, but exactly what’s triggering the large-scale retreat has been difficult to pin down because of natural fluctuations in the glaciers’ surroundings. Now, researchers at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG) and Georgia Tech have … [continued]
In a study of “some of the smallest moving elements ever observed,” researchers at Georgia Tech and the University of Toledo have confirmed the existence of synchronized, molecular “gears” in a self-assembling material. Like an array of micro machines, the gears rotate together when pressure is applied to the material, … [continued]
The technology of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) has come a long way since its unveiling only two years ago, based on the creator’s most recent press release. Since then, the technology has had its power output density boosted by a factor of over 100,000 — the power output now reaches up … [continued]
We’ve been spending a lot of time on cutting edge solar thermal power projects this week, and here’s yet another new twist: a fuel cell that incorporates solar thermal energy, enabling it to use woody biomass, algae, and even chicken waste for energy input instead of relying on hydrogen gas. … [continued]
Gallium is already on its way to becoming the workhorse of the solar tech field, and now it looks like the soft metal is is on track to become a thoroughbred. A team of US scientists has hit upon an improved method for growing indium gallium nitride (InGaN) crystals that … [continued]
