Turning Heat into Power with Efficient Organic Thermoelectric Material

November 11, 2020 Environment

Thermoelectric materials can turn a temperature difference into electricity. Organic thermoelectric materials could be used to power wearable electronics or sensors; however, the power output is still very low. An international team led by Jan Anton Koster, Professor of Semiconductor Physics at the University of Groningen, has now produced an n-type organic semiconductor with superior […]

Physicists Build Circuit That Generates Clean Limitless Power From Graphene

October 3, 2020 Environment,Natural Living,Video

Researchers harnessed the atomic motion of graphene to generate an electrical current that could lead to a chip to replace batteries. A team of University of Arkansas physicists has successfully developed a circuit capable of capturing graphene’s thermal motion and converting it into an electrical current. “An energy-harvesting circuit based on graphene could be incorporated […]

Stanford Researchers Design Efficient Off-Grid System for Producing Power at Night

August 13, 2020 Environment,Natural Living,Preparedness

Researchers have designed an off-grid, low-cost modular energy source that can efficiently produce power at night. The system uses commercially available technology and could eventually help meet the need for nighttime lighting in urban areas or provide lighting in developing countries. Although solar power brings many benefits, its use depends heavily on the distribution of […]

Researchers Turn Regular Bricks Into Energy-Storing Supercapacitors

August 11, 2020 Environment,Home And Garden,Natural Living

Imagine plugging in to your brick house. Red bricks — some of the world’s cheapest and most familiar building materials — can be converted into energy storage units that can be charged to hold electricity, like a battery, according to new research from Washington University in St. Louis. Brick has been used in walls and […]

US Navy Advances Tech To Power Ships With Fuel Made From Seawater

July 15, 2020 Environment

The Navy’s quest to power its ships by converting seawater into fuel is one step nearer fruition. University of Rochester chemical engineers, in collaboration with researchers at the Naval Research Laboratory, the University of Pittsburgh, and OxEon Energy, have demonstrated that a potassium-promoted molybdenum carbide catalyst efficiently and reliably converts carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide, […]

Stanford Researchers Develop Battery to Harness Energy from Seawater

July 30, 2019 Environment,Natural Living

Stanford researchers develop technology to harness energy from mixing of freshwater and seawater Salt is power. It might sound like alchemy, but the energy in places where salty ocean water and freshwater mingle could provide a massive source of renewable power. Stanford researchers have developed an affordable, durable technology that could harness this so-called blue […]

Researchers Use Sunlight to Generate Fuels From Wastewater

May 1, 2019 Environment,Natural Living

Sunlight to treat wastewater and simultaneously generate fuels will at least be energy neutral, if not energy positive, says researchers. By Molly A. Seltzer Hydrogen is a critical component in the manufacture of thousands of common products from plastic to fertilizers, but producing pure hydrogen is expensive and energy intensive. Now, a research team at […]
