Researchers from Brown University and the University of Maryland have developed a new material derived from trees that could replace liquid electrolytes in next-generation batteries. Published in the journal Nature, the study introduces a thin and flexible solid ion conductor made by combining copper with cellulose nanofibrils, which are polymer tubes derived from wood....

Credit: ispaceThe technician team working from lunar exploration start-up ispace has unveiled its coming generation lunar lander, in time for its third lunar mission.According to Series 2, the lander is at the moment anticipated to launch in 2024 and is greater in size and haul storage capacity than the...
A study (An international stock), revealed that CO2 escapes from oil refineries were as high as, 1.3 Gt in 2018 and could reach 16.5 Gt from 2020 to 2030. From the results, the investigators suggest unique mitigation techniques for such refineries in various regions and ages. The results appear today (20 August 2021) in...

The plastic material is of precious help. Some might also say it is an inevitability. However, it causes a tremendous harmful influence on our environment.Well, consider the Great Pacific rubbish patch, an oceanic accumulation of trash so enormous that it is generally referred to as a trash island. The area is twice the size...
