The context of cooperation with UC Water and the Sierra Nevada Research Institute at UC Merced, scientists from UC Santa Cruz have released an investigation that suggests that encompassing California's 6,350 km network of public water shipment canals with photovoltaic panels could be a financially viable way to advance both renewable energy sources and...
An odoriferous, toxic gas can now be converted into clean-burning petroleum using a brand-new chemical process that has been found by specialists.The procedure converts hydrogen sulfide—more commonly known as "drain gas"—into hydrogen fuel and was recently described in the American Chemical Society publication ACS Sustainable Chemical Engineering. Hydrogen sulfide is a byproduct of industrial...
The now-familiar sight of conventional propeller wind turbines might be substituted in the years to come with wind farms consisting of an extra compact and efficient vertical turbine design.A new study from Oxford Brookes University has found that the vertical turbine concept is far more effective than conventional turbines in large-scale wind farms. When...
China has reached a new milestone in humanity's experiments to control the power of the stars.In May, the Chinese Academy of Sciences' fusion machine reached 120 million degrees Celsius and remained at that temperature for 101 seconds.The last time the EAST (Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak or HT-7U) withstood a plasma vortex for so long...
