Fiber tech could eliminate pollutants, generate sustainable energy Researchers have developed a new material that, by harnessing the power of sunlight, can clear water of dangerous pollutants. Created through a combination of soft chemistry gels and electrospinning — a technique where electrical force is applied to liquid to craft small … [continued]
Students from Ohio State University have just smashed their way through four worldwide speed records for an electric motorcycle, putting the Ohio State RW-5 Voxan two-wheeler through its paces at the renowned Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials at the Salt Flats in Utah. The new records add yet another layer of … [continued]
New Testbed Could Advance Novel Grid Technologies To Build a Resilient Renewable Energy-Based Power System The grid needs to change. To electrify everything from vehicles to heating systems to stovetops, the U.S. grid must expand by about 57% and get more flexible, too. Solar and wind energy are the renewables most likely … [continued]
PHOENIX, Arizona — The Ohio State/Wilberforce University Team has been named the Year Two champion of the EcoCAR Electric Vehicle (EV) Challenge, followed by Georgia Tech in second place and McMaster University (CA) in third place. The Year Two competition challenged teams to complete a series of vehicle events, comparable … [continued]
In a new study, researchers have developed a method for capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, powered by clean and relatively inexpensive geothermal energy. Their findings, published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, reveal that by combining direct air carbon dioxide capture technologies (DACC) and geothermal energy, large-scale carbon dioxide (CO2) removal … [continued]
The automotive supplier Schaeffler teams up with Honda and The Ohio State University to push a new solid state EV battery out of the lab.
Research will develop zero- and low-emission public transportation buses.
If all goes according to plan, the US Air Force could fly on sustainable tires made from dandelion rubber, some day.
The 2010s was the decade of EVs — as far as establishing their arrival and competitiveness. The 2020s is the decade of AVs (autonomous vehicles). This is not guaranteed yet, but it has looked like this would be the case for at least the past 5 years. As much as … [continued]
Originally published on The U.S. National Science Foundation. WASHINGTON — Last week, the U.S. National Science Foundation announced the establishment of 11 new NSF National Artificial Intelligence Research Institutes, building on the first round of 7 institutes funded in 2020. The combined investment of $220 million expands the reach of these … [continued]
