The finalists for Cleantech Innovate 2017, a UK showcase for the commercial low carbon stars of the future, have been announced today.Cleantech Innovate highlights the best in clean, green, low carbon technology and will take place at the Royal Institution in London’s on 27th April 2017. Now in its fifth year, 36 handpicked presenting companies seeking funding, partnerships, publicity or support in developing their ideas will pitch and conn...

Hydrogen is a problem for many metals. If hydrogen atoms are included in a metal, the material properties can be severely affected, causing it to become brittle or cracked. To improve materials, it is thus important to quantify the hydrogen inclusions, which means that these deposits need to be located. However, until now it has not been possible to three-dimensionally locate individual hydrogen atoms in a material sample.

In order to get a more detailed picture of energy flows in the electrical grid, scientists from the Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research in Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) are looking to use improved, self-learning algorithms. A major research project was launched to this end in February 2017. These algorithms will serve to more accurately forecast consumers' needs and the amount of electricity generated from renewables. Satellite data will...

Henkel’s portfolio of products for the hot dip galvanising (HDG) market now includes a number of new-to-the-UK surface solutions for many stages of the process, including acid/alkaline cleaning, pickling and pickling inhibitors, passivating or conversion coating prior to painting.

Launched by Shell at Cobham services on the M25 motorway, the new station was supplied by ATM as part of the EU funded HYFIVE project. It’s the first of three hydrogen stations to be opened by Shell in the UK in 2017.

Converting food waste into green energy, two new combined heat and power generation plants have been developed, but only received planning permission because operator Agrivert and sara LBS guaranteed that neither plant would emit unpleasant odours.Agrivert provides sustainable and cost effective organic waste management solutions across the UK, including anaerobic digestion, in-vessel composting, green waste composting, and the treatment and recy...

In July 2015, the Bavarian Ministry of the Environment and Consumer Protection set up the project group “Resource-friendly Biotechnology in Bavaria – BayBiotech.” The aim is to contribute to resource-friendliness through application specific research projects in the field of biotechnology and to support the transition to a sustainable bio-economy. Today scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the University of...

Using advanced3D printing, Dartmouth College researchers have unlocked the key to transforming microscopic nanorings into smart materials that perform work at human-scale.Nanomachines can already deliver medication and serve as computer memories at the tiny nanometer scale. By integrating a 3D printing technique pioneered at Dartmouth's Ke Functional Materials Group, researchers may unlock even greater potential for these mini-machines.

Next-gen steel and metal alloys are a step closer to reality, thanks to an international research project involving a University of Queensland scientist.The work could overcome the problem of hydrogen alloy embrittlement that has led to catastrophic failures in major engineering and building projects.UQ Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis Director Professor Roger Wepf said the problem had been recognised for almost 140 years.

The appearance of supermassive black holes at the dawn of the universe has puzzled astronomers since their discovery more than a decade ago. A supermassive black hole is thought to form over billions of years, but more than two dozen of these behemoths have been sighted within 800 million years of the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago.
