A roll-to-roll strategy for the production of future wearable photoelectric devices with higher performance and at a lower cost.
Methanol Then and Now
Making methanol for use as a renewable energy carrier.
Shedding New Light on Accidents caused by Kerosene Lamps
Kerosene lamps in the household are thought to cause millions of accidents every year, but a new study reveals that interventions proposed to improve kerosene safety might not have the intended impact.
Role of Fault Ride-Through Strategies for Power Grids
A vast range of advanced fault ride-through strategies have been proposed for renewable energy sources, enabling fast recovery and improved network support during faults in the electricity network
Copper Nanowire Hedgehogs: Nature-Inspired SERS Substrates
A broadband visible-light-driven photocatalytic SERS platform with the CuO nanowires (NWs)/Cu2O hetero-nanostructures as the backbone.
Printing Wearable Graphene Sensors
Graphene sensors with high-resolution features are produced on flexible tapes for wearable electronics via a simplified drop-cast-and-transfer process.
Nitrogen Reduction Reactions: Fact or Artifact
Greener catalytic ammonia synthesis requires robust control experiments to eliminate artifacts.
Wind Power within European Grid Codes: Evolution, Status and Outlook
Today, wind power plant developers and wind turbine manufacturers increasingly face power system stability support requirements similar to conventional power stations. These new requirements intend to make wind power plant behavior more similar to conventional power stations.
Carbon Dioxide Desalination
Imagine a scenario where CO2 greenhouse gas emissions could be used to desalinate briny water. This would be a creative way of killing two birds with one stone, namely helping to ameliorate global-warming-induced climate change and producing high quality water for agriculture and drinking purposes.
Smart Windows Use Plasmons to Adapt to Sunlight Alone
Smart windows switch between transparent and opaque states based on environmental cues. Researchers reveal a prototype that exploits plasmons, converting incident sunlight into local thermal energy to trigger the switch.
