A team of researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) has formulated a technique for creating an ultra-high material efficient solar cell incorporating semiconductor nanowires. If this is positioned on top of a traditional silicon-based solar cell, the efficiency of present-day Si solar cells could potentially double in a cost-effective manner.
The latest research in ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering has revealed that sustainable environmentally-friendly recycling of graphite is possible by considering the environmental footprint layout via the life cycle assessment (LCA) process.
As governments and international organizations face increasing pressure to enact more robust and stringent climate policy, the steel sector has in turn been required to implement lower-emission technology on a wide scale.
More than 300 million tons of plastic waste are produced annually, which causes serious environmental issues because of plastic's life cycle and the difficulty of eliminating it.
Concrete production weighs heavy on the environment, responsible for around 50% of overall waste generated worldwide.
Cracked phone screens could become a thing of the past thanks to breakthrough research conducted at The University of Queensland.
With the growing demand for energy across the world, the planet must move to renewable energy sources rapidly to meet internationally agreed targets to reduce carbon emissions. Solar floating photovoltaic systems show enormous potential as part of the renewable energy mix. A 2021 paper published in Energies has explored this topic of research.
Thanks to new thin-film technology, perovskites could bring increased efficiency to solar panel manufacturing for a lower cost.
The Olympus DSX1000 digital microscope has earned a reputation for exceptional image quality and ease of use.
Researchers at Luleå University of Technology in Sweden have demonstrated in the journal Applied Electronic Materials the high-performance electrochemical properties of biomass-derived graphene dots as a functional additive for green carbon aerogels.
