Creating an Innovative, Solid, Air Working Battery

Creating an Innovative, Solid, Air Working Battery

Posted on 30 June, 2023 by benyamin chahkandi

Summary: Typically, negative electrodes in batteries are made of active materials like metals. Rechargeable metal-air batteries with oxygen-reducing positive electrodes have recently used redox-active organic compounds, such as quinone- and amine-based molecules, as negative electrodes. Here, the redox reactions involve protons and hydroxide ions. These batteries operate well and are almost at their theoretical maximum capacity. Furthermore, using redox-active organic molecules in...

Enhanced 3D vision helped a four-legged robot navigate bumpy terrain

Posted on 3 July, 2023 by benyamin chahkandi

Summary: A novel model has been created by researchers at the University of California, San Diego, that teaches four-legged robots to see in three dimensions more clearly. The development made it possible for a robot to easily and autonomously navigate difficult terrain, including rocky ground, stairways, and paths with gaps.  The scientists will present their findings at the Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), which will be held in Vancouver, Canada, from June...
Clean, sustainable fuel produced from plastic garbage

Clean, sustainable fuel produced from plastic garbage

Posted on 8 July, 2023 by benyamin chahkandi

Summary: Researchers have shown how carbon dioxide from industrial operations or even straight from the air can be gathered and converted into sustainable, clean fuels using only solar energy. The University of Cambridge researchers created a solar-powered reactor that transforms collected CO 2  and plastic waste into renewable fuels and other useful chemical compounds. In experiments, CO 2  was transformed into syngas, an essential component of sustainable liquid fuels, and plastic...

Unused Energy, an Easy Fuel for NFTs

Posted on 11 July, 2023 by benyamin chahkandi

Summary: Researchers from Cornell Engineering have discovered that underutilised solar, wind, and hydroelectric electricity in the United States might sustain the exponential rise of transactions involving non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Fengqi You are the corresponding author of "Climate Concerns and the Future of Non-Fungible Tokens: Leveraging Environmental Benefits of the Ethereum Merge," which appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on July 10.
