Titanium dioxide, better known as a key ingredient in white paint, is beginning to carve out an all-purpose spot for itself in the field of air pollution control. While not yet up to the ShamWow standard for range of applicability, this common substance could be on the verge of playing … [continued]
Groundbreaking materials have the potential to provide life-altering cooling to millions who lack it. How do they work? And how can they be scaled? This year’s scorching northern hemisphere may be in the past, but, we cannot let it recede from view. With every possibility that the summer of 2024 … [continued]
Volkswagen is using Airlite paint that neutralizes certain pollutants in the air for its outdoor ads in the UK.
Solar fuel is the next wave of the renewable energy revolution, once they figure out how to scale a tiny little tile into a commercial scale operation.
Scientists at the Research Institute for Electronic Science at Hokkaido University have created what they call a “golden sandwich,” a photoelectrode that captures 85% of sunlight and uses it to split water and thus crate hydrogen. Yes, this is experimental stuff, and no, it has not yet reached commercial production. But stop and think for a minute what that could mean to the renewable energy revolution.
Clairy has launched a new indoor air purifier that takes nature’s best living air cleaners and makes them part of the solution with its new NATEDE air purifier. We spoke with Clairy’s CTO Marco Santonocito to get the inside scoop on the product and more than anything, to understand why Clairy believes plants are the best air purifiers in the world.
Carbon capture will be essential to meeting the goals of the Paris climate accords, says Glen Peters of the Cicero Center for Climate Research in Oslo. But he is pessimistic that politicians will ever support such technology.
Scientists in Florida and Japan have created new catalysts that can separate hydrogen from water more efficiently using less energy. Is the dream of a hydrogen economy still a thing?
Hydrogen fuel cells are slipping into EVs, logistics, aircraft, and other niche markets, and the search is on for sustainable hydrogen to fuel them.
Originally published on Solar Love. A new tandem solar cell featuring monolithic perovskite and silicon has produced electricity with record efficiency, reports Helmholz-Berlin. “Teams from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland, have been the first to successfully combine a silicon heterojunction solar cell with a perovskite solar cell … [continued]
