Researchers at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have created a nanostructured device, about half the size of a postage stamp, that disinfects water much faster than the UV method by also making use of the visible part of the solar spectrum, which contains 50%of the sun's energy.

Garden grass could become a source of cheap and clean renewable energy, scientists have claimed. A team of UK researchers, including experts from Cardiff University's Cardiff Catalysis Institute, have shown that significant amounts of hydrogen can be unlocked from fescue grass with the help of sunlight and a cheap catalyst.

A deuteron is a very simple atomic nucleus made up of just one proton and one neutron — that is, one each of the two nuclear building blocks. An international research collaboration, working at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI, has measured the deuteron more accurately than ever before. The value they obtained for the radius of the deuteron does not, however, correspond to the measurements of other research groups but instead shows a signifi...

Sharing the latest innovations, insights and ideas at the first ever International Energy Conference, will be many high profile experts from across the energy sector, including Energy Forum President and former CEO of Shell Energy Europe, Paul Trimmer.Hosted by the Thames Valley Chamber of Commerce Group, the event aims to bring together businesses interested in learning the latest developments and gaining industry insight into the energy sector.

Dmitry Fedyanin from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and Mario Agio from the University of Siegen and LENS have predicted that artificial defects in the crystal lattice of diamond can be turned into ultrabright and extremely efficient electrically-driven quantum emitters.

What’s inside all electronic devices? The answer is rigid components like circuit boards, containing chips, resistors and capacitors - all held together with wires. Nicolette Emmino explains that things could be about to change.

The PS200 portable gas detector from Tyco Gas & Flame Detection is now available with a new catalytic bead sensor option that provides an increased battery life of up to 80 hours in diffusion mode and 20 hours in pump mode.

Researchers from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft, The Netherlands), in collaboration with colleagues from the École Polytechnique Fédéral de Lausanne (EPFL, Switzerland), have found a simple yet very effective solution to greatly increase the efficiency and stability of hydrogen production through solar-driven water splitting. By separating the positive and the negative electrodes using a bipolar membrane, they were ...

Hydrogen is widely regarded as a promising and clean alternative energy source. The traditional source of H2 for fuel cell use is water, which is split into H2 and O2. But O2 is a low-value product. So, this week in ACS Central Science, researchers report a new approach and a new catalyst that can produce not just hydrogen but also valuable chemicals, including the most common ingredient in nail polish.

Combining low resistance with guaranteed long life over a wide temperature range (from -40 to +65°C), Panasonic Automotive & Industrial Systems Europe announces its HL series EDLCs (Electric Double Layer Capacitors). The gold capacitors are wound radial lead type devices, which achieve far better (up to 1,000 times greater) capacitance compared to aluminium electrolytic capacitors, as well as superior charge and discharge performance comp...
