Scientists Crack the Code to Longer-Lasting Perovskite Solar Technology
Perovskite solar cells could last ten times longer thanks to new research led by the University of Surrey, which suggests alumina (Al₂O₃) nanoparticles significantly enhance the lifespan and stability of these high-efficiency energy devices.
Scientists Design Novel Battery That Runs on Atomic Waste
Strong nuclear radiation boosts device efficiency, study finds.
Tree Diversity Increases Carbon Sequestration
Forests planted with many different tree species have substantially higher aboveground carbon stocks and greater carbon fluxes than monocultures, shows an international study led by the University of Freiburg.
From Scraps to Sips: Everyday Biomass Produces Drinking Water from Thin Air
Discarded food scraps, stray branches, seashells and many other natural materials are key ingredients in a new system that can pull drinkable water out of thin air developed by researchers from The University of Texas at Austin.
Colorful Dust Over Mauritania
Wind plucks hundreds of millions of tons of dust from parched landscapes in northern Africa each year, propelling vast plumes of the tiny mineral particles over the Atlantic Ocean.
