The photovoltaic effect of ferroelectric crystals can be increased by a factor of 1,000 if three different materials are arranged periodically in a lattice. This has been revealed in a study by researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU). They achieved this by creating crystalline layers of barium titanate, strontium titanate and calcium titanate which […]

A High-Energy Density And Long-Life Initial-Anode-Free Lithium Battery by Ingrid Fadelli
Lithium-metal batteries (LMBs), an emerging type of rechargeable lithium-based batteries made of solid-state metal instead of lithium-ions, are among the most promising high-energy-density rechargeable battery technologies. Although they have some advantageous characteristics, these batteries have several limitations, including a poor energy density and safety-related issues. In recent years, researchers have tried to overcome these limitations […]
Making Clean Hydrogen Is Hard, But Researchers Just Solved A Major Hurdle by University of Texas at Austin
For decades, researchers around the world have searched for ways to use solar power to generate the key reaction for producing hydrogen as a clean energy source—splitting water molecules to form hydrogen and oxygen. However, such efforts have mostly failed because doing it well was too costly, and trying to do it at a low […]
Researchers Discover A New Inorganic Material With Lowest Thermal Conductivity Ever Reported by University of Liverpool
This new material, with two combined arrangements, has a much lower thermal conductivity than either of the parent materials with just one arrangement. This unexpected result shows the synergic effect of the chemical control of atomic locations in the structure, and is the reason why the properties of the whole structure are superior to those […]
EPA Knew Fracking Chemicals Were Toxic, But Approved Them Anyway by Kenny Stancil
Internal documents obtained by Physicians for Social Responsibility reveal that between 2010 and 2020, fossil fuel corporations injected into the ground potentially carcinogenic chemicals that can degrade into PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” after Obama’s EPA approved their use despite agency scientists’ concerns about toxicity. Between 2012 and 2020, fossil fuel corporations injected potentially carcinogenic per- […]

Researchers Develop Tool To Aid In Development, Efficiency Of Hydrogen-Powered Cars by University of Colorado at Boulder
Widespread adoption of hydrogen-powered vehicles over traditional electric vehicles requires fuel cells that can convert hydrogen and oxygen safely into water—a serious implementation problem. Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder are addressing one aspect of that roadblock by developing new computational tools and models needed to better understand and manage the conversion process. Hendrik […]
Earth’s Atmospheric CO2 Soars To Highest Level In 4 Million Years by Brett Wilkins
New data released Monday showed atmospheric carbon dioxide reached a monthly average of 419 parts per million in May [a 33% increase in 63 years, in January 1958, when scientist Charles David Keeling first started measuring atmospheric CO2 consistently (I was born January 8, 1958), at the pristine Mauna Loa mountaintop observatory in Hawaii, the […]
Solar Storms Are Back, Threatening Life As We Know It On Earth by Brian K. Sullivan
Solar storms have their roots in an 11-year cycle that shifts the polarity of the sun’s magnetic field. The magnetic forces at work on the sun get tangled during the process, and can punch out through the surface, sending the sun’s plasma into outer space and potentially triggering storms on Earth. The most powerful geomagnetic […]
Not Graphene: Researchers Discover New Type Of Atomically Thin Carbon Material by Aalto University
Carbon exists in various forms. In addition to diamond and graphite, there are recently discovered forms with astonishing properties. For example graphene, with a thickness of just one atomic layer, is the thinnest known material, and its unusual properties make it an extremely exciting candidate for applications like future electronics and high-tech engineering. In graphene, […]
May Gales Help Britain Set Record For Wind Power Generation by Julia Kollewe
In early hours of Friday, windfarm turbines provided nearly two-thirds of Britain’s electricity. Powerful gusts of wind sweeping across Britain have helped the country reach a new all-time high for electricity generated from wind turbines. A new record was set in the early hours of Friday for the share of wind power in the generation […]
Putin Triumphs As Washington DC Lifts Sanctions Against Russian Gas Warming Europe by Thomas Catenacci
A much chastened US ‘President’ Joe Biden has capitulated in the years long struggle to sanction Russian gas getting to Europe. The final construction phase of the Nordstream 2 pipeline now seems virtually unstoppable after President Joe Biden capitulated and dropped the threat of sanctions against the Russian-German project. US-based Axios news service has reported […]
Solving A Natural Riddle Of Water Filtration by University of Texas at Austin
This is the first instance of an artificial nanometer-sized channel that can truly emulate the key water transport features of these biological water channels. And it could improve the ability of membranes to efficiently filter out unwanted molecules and elements, while speeding up water transport, making it cheaper to create a clean supply. “It copies […]
The Environmental Trade-Offs Of Autonomous Vehicles by Institute of Physics
Optimistic predictions expect reliable autonomous vehicles to be commercially available by 2030, at a time when mobility is undergoing a profound shift away from traditional modes of transportation and towards door-to-door services. Previous analysis suggested that public transport will lose market share to autonomous vehicles, but the environmental impact of changing transport use has hardly […]

Cyberattack Forces Shutdown Of Largest Gasoline Pipeline In United States by Tyler Durden
The largest gasoline pipeline on the East Coast, and the US in general, was shut down on Friday after its operator struggled to contain a cyberattack which threatened its systems. The 5,500-mile Colonial Pipeline, which is the single largest refined-products pipeline in the United States, halted transit as the company was forced to take “certain […]

First Nanoscale Look At A Reaction That Limits The Efficiency Of Generating Clean Hydrogen Fuel by Glennda Chu
Transitioning from fossil fuels to a clean hydrogen economy will require cheaper and more efficient ways to use renewable sources of electricity to break water into hydrogen and oxygen. But a key step in that process, known as the oxygen evolution reaction or OER, has proven to be a bottleneck. Today it’s only about 75% […]

The Road To Global Fascism: How Wall Street Investment Banks Use Coercion To Promote Social Justice, Climate Change, And Globalism by Bob Bishop
The template for growing global fascism is CEO Larry Fink’s Blackrock investment bank ($8.7 trillion assets under management). This article will demonstrate Blackrock’s growing influence which promotes social justice, climate change, and globalism to the detriment of free enterprise. Larry Fink is a board member of the World Economic Forum, built around the motto “you […]
Better Solutions For Making Hydrogen May Lie Just At The Surface by Christina Nunez, Argonne National Laboratory
A clean energy future propelled by hydrogen fuel depends on figuring out how to reliably and efficiently split water. That’s because, even though hydrogen is abundant, it must be derived from another substance that contains it—and today, that substance is often methane gas. Scientists are seeking ways to isolate this energy-carrying element without using fossil […]
US And SDF Join Forces To Steal Syria’s Oil by Jeremy Salt
There’s hardly anything new in history about the powerful exploiting the weak, so all that sticks out about the theft of Syria’s oil as orchestrated by the US government is its brazen nature. In 2011, the US and its allies set out to destroy Syria. A decade later, they had failed to overthrow the government […]
Explainer: The Toxic Water At Japan’s Fukushima Nuclear Plant
Japan will release about 1.25 million tonnes of Fukushima water into the sea – part of its plan to decommission the power station destroyed in the 2011 tsunami. Japan’s decision to release more than one million tonnes of treated radioactive water – equivalent to about 500 Olympic-sized swimming pools – from the tsunami-ravaged Fukushima nuclear […]
