6+ hour, 1+ min ago   (537+ words) Deep in the steaming runoff channels of Taiwan’s hot springs, a group of microbes has been quietly rewriting the rules of photosynthesis. These are the far-red light-utilizing cyanobacteria, or FRLCyano, organisms capable of extending oxygenic photosynthesis beyond the visible spectrum…...

6+ hour, 25+ min ago   (55+ words) Researchers have unveiled a hybrid artificial intelligence framework that dramatically improves the accuracy of biomass energy forecasting, a capability that could reshape how renewable energy systems are operated, maintained, and integrated into modern power grids. The study, published in the…...

7+ hour, 54+ min ago   (607+ words) Every year, millions of lithium-ion batteries reach the end of their lives, and most of the graphite inside them is quietly thrown away....

9+ hour, 13+ min ago   (55+ words) Researchers in India have transformed the delicate purple-and-white flowers of Bauhinia variegata, the mountain ebony tree, into a high-performance carbon electrode material that works in two very different clean-energy devices at once. In a study published in the Springer journal…...

9+ hour, 16+ min ago   (696+ words) Scientists at Pusan National University have published a comprehensive review showing that microorganisms wired directly to electrical circuits could become the backbone of a carbon-negative chemical industry. In a paper in the journal Advances in Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, Chang…...

9+ hour, 16+ min ago   (625+ words) Silicon has long dominated the solar industry, but its fundamental physics imposes hard limits on how much sunlight a single-junction cell can convert into electricity. Photons with less energy than silicon’s band gap simply pass through the material, while photons…...

9+ hour, 50+ min ago   (641+ words) Every electric vehicle that rolls off an assembly line today carries within it a promise of cleaner transportation and, eventually, a difficult waste problem. Lithium-ion batteries degrade with use, and when they can no longer hold enough charge to propel…...

10+ hour, 40+ min ago   (436+ words) Chemists at the Vellore Institute of Technology in India have developed a reusable photocatalyst that can forge carbon–nitrogen bonds in indazolone molecules using nothing more exotic than blue light from a light-emitting diode....

10+ hour, 40+ min ago   (94+ words) The blue dye that colors denim, candies, and medicines may soon face an unexpected adversary: the discarded remains of old cellphone batteries. In a study published in Discover Industrial Chemistry and Materials, a team of Brazilian researchers led by Eric…...
