Increasing the mass of an electrode reduces power density due to the longer distance that ions and electrons must travel. Electrode designs need a rethink.
Conducting the climate change orchestra
It is my hope that with the collaborative efforts of a unified world, the dark tones of the fossil fuel reliance and heavy pollution will fade to become a distant echo of our past.
Climate hope with “positive tipping points”
Small changes in societies’ behaviors could lead to positive cascading effects that will mitigate climate change.
How do we know if our adaptations to climate change are successful?
Scientists question whether technologies such as desalination will create solutions to climate change or just shift the problem.
Low temperature, scalable manufacturing of flexible energy harvesters
A simple approach to create high performance thermoelectric materials, which would allow one to turn their body heat into electricity.
Could a human settlement on Mars be sustained with carbon dioxide?
The chemistry of carbon dioxide may not save the human race on Earth, but could enable a new beginning for life on the red planet.
War on plastic is distracting from more urgent threats to environment, experts warn
While plastic waste is an issue, its prominence in the general public’s concern for the environment is overshadowing greater threats.
Computer simulations of organic materials for next-generation batteries
Computer simulations provide a better means of optimizing, predicting, and understanding experimental observations in the search for new battery materials.
Decline in carbon-intensive arrangements can help mitigate climate change
Deliberate decline in carbon-intensive practices is currently taking shape as a new way to confront climate change.
The high-throughput highway to computational optoelectronic semiconductor screening
High-throughput computational materials screening is turning out to be an efficient highway to optoelectronic semiconductor design.
