"This technology presents a new paradigm in which waste is no longer viewed as a disposal problem but as a valuable energy ...

Providing safer drinking water to those in need may be a little easier. A new desalination technique is able to remove salt from water using less energy than previous methods. Providing safer drinking ...

Ammonia has enormous potential as a fuel of the future, but most current production methods make it a dirty source of energy. Yet a new method from MIT that would derive the compound using the Earth's ...

A study led by researchers at the Energy Institute has proposed a new energy system for a "smart farm" in South Korea which could reduce emissions, providing a blueprint for more sustainable farming ...

Conventional ethylene production via steam cracking generates massive carbon emissions—about one ton of CO₂ per ton of ethylene—creating a major climate burden. Researchers developed a highly ...

Nitrogen-based synthetic fertilizer forms the backbone of the world food supply, but its manufacture requires a tremendous amount of energy. Now, computer modeling at Princeton University points to a ...

New electrolyzer has three innovations. It uses electricity to create ethylene from syngas, a waste gas produced from plastic. It uses a novel material to help catalyze the reaction. And it does so in ...

Researchers have developed a daylight electroluminescence imaging method that enables detection of low-energy glass cracks in ...
