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
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).
