Bats depend on open bodies of water such as small ponds and lakes for foraging and drinking. 

For many industrial processes, the typical way to separate gases, liquids, or ions is with heat, using slight differences in boiling points to purify mixtures.

Many people around the globe are living in energy poverty, meaning they spend at least 8 percent of their annual household income on energy.

The process of updating deep learning/AI models when they face new tasks or must accommodate changes in data can have significant costs in terms of computational resources and energy consumption.

A new study overcomes a key challenge to switching commercial aircraft in the U.S. from their near-total reliance on fossil fuels to more sustainable aviation fuels.

Only one atom thick, hBN – often nicknamed "white graphene" – is an ultra-thin, super-resilient material that blocks electrical currents, withstands extreme temperatures and resists chemical damage.

The batteries used in our phones, devices and even cars rely on metals like lithium and cobalt, sourced through intensive and invasive mining.

Water oxidation offers a promising path to achieve sustainable energy by efficiently generating oxygen. 

After several years of service under harsh weather conditions, the rotor blades of offshore wind parks are subjected to degradation and surface erosion, releasing sizeable quantities of particle emissions into the environment. 

While lithium-ion batteries have been the go-to technology for everything from smartphones and laptops to electric cars, there are growing concerns about the future because lithium is relatively scarce, expensive and difficult to source, and may soon be at risk due to geopolitical considerations.
