Blue has become Natron Energy's signature color owing to the patented Prussian Blue electrons it uses for the fast, frequent transfer of sodium ions that underpin its claims of 10 times lithium-ion's cycling speeds and a 50,000-cycle lifespan Natron Energy In 2023, sodium-ion battery innovator Natron Energy was gearing up for large-scale production of its custom-designed...
The scheme for a mechanism of bubble-detachment. a) Normal flat electrode, b) the problems of adhered bubbles, and c) various approaches for the removal of gas bubbles. In (a), R, ρ, g, and λ indicate the dimension of bubbles, the density of a solution, gravitational acceleration constant, and surface tension of a solution, respectively....
Machines and robots certainly make life less complicated. They conducted jobs with precision as well as speed, and, unlike humans, they do not need breaks as they are never tired. Consequently, businesses want to utilize them increasingly more in their production procedures to improve productivity and eliminate filthy, hazardous, and dull tasks. Nevertheless, there are still...
Hysata guarantees the world's most affordable hydrogen with a groundbreaking device that splits water into H2 and O2 at 95% efficiency, which is about 20% more efficient than the top conventional electrolyzers. The company has secured US$111 million to expand production. Hydrogen production typically wastes 20-30% of renewable energy, contributing to high costs. Australian company...
Scientists have altered the geometry of the electron universe within a magnetic substance, paving the way for advanced spintronic gadgets that rely on quantum-induced, non-Ohmic conductivity. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Scientists at Tohoku University and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency have created basic experiments and theories to control the shape of the 'electron universe' within a magnetic...

A plastic derived from plants underwent nearly complete biodegradation within less than seven months. Credit Canvas A new study found that an algae-based plastic breaks down 97% in compost and water within seven months, even when crushed into tiny particles. Scientists hope this eco-friendly plastic will replace harmful petroleum-based ones. There's been a lot of...
Safer options to harmful chemicals are already accessible but require greater acceptance in the market. Credit EURONEWSGREEN A new EU regulation regarding fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases), aimed at reducing artificial emissions from air conditioners, refrigerators, and heat pumps, takes effect today (March 11). However, an NGO has cautioned that this law could potentially increase exposure...
