Capacitor-based heat pumps see big boost in efficiency https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/11/capacitor-based-heat-pumps-see-big-boost-in-efficiency https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/11/capacitor-based-heat-pumps-see-big-boost-in-efficiency#respond Thu, 23 Nov 2023 22:24:35 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/11/capacitor-based-heat-pumps-see-big-boost-in-efficiency

Various forms of heat pumps—refrigerators, air conditioners, heaters—are estimated to consume about 30 percent of the world’s electricity. And that number is almost certain to rise, as heat pumps play a very large role in efforts to electrify heating to reduce the use of fossil fuels.

Most existing versions of these systems rely on the compression of a class of chemicals called hydrofluorocarbons, gasses that were chosen because they have a far smaller impact on the ozone layer than earlier refrigerants. Unfortunately, they are also extremely potent greenhouse gasses, with a short-term impact several thousand times that of carbon dioxide.

Alternate technologies have been tested, but all of them have at least one major drawback in comparison to gas compression. In a paper released in today’s issue of Science, however, researchers describe progress on a form of heat pump that is built around a capacitor that changes temperature as it’s charged and discharged. Because the energy spent while charging it can be used on discharge, the system has the potential to be highly efficient.

Micromotors can generate green energy from wastewater https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/11/micromotors-can-generate-green-energy-from-wastewater https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/11/micromotors-can-generate-green-energy-from-wastewater#respond Thu, 23 Nov 2023 20:25:53 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/11/micromotors-can-generate-green-energy-from-wastewater

To enhance their catalytic efficiency in degrading organic pollutants, such as RB and urea, researchers further functionalized the surface of the micromotors with laccase, the bio-catalytic counterpart, for the generation of ammonia from urea. Urea is an emerging contaminant, being a common pollutant from residential activities (urea is the main component of urine) and from different industrial processes.

The chemical component laccase accelerates the conversion of urea into ammonia upon contact with contaminated water. This ammonia can be transformed into hydrogen, which is a clean and sustainable energy source.

“This is an interesting discovery. Today, water treatment plants have trouble breaking down all the urea, which can result in eutrophication when the water is released. This is a serious problem in urban areas in particular,” says Rebeca Ferrer, a PhD student from Dr. Katherine Villa’s group at ICIQ.

Biologists Unveil the First Living Yeast Cells With Over 50% Synthetic DNA https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/11/biologists-unveil-the-first-living-yeast-cells-with-over-50-synthetic-dna https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/11/biologists-unveil-the-first-living-yeast-cells-with-over-50-synthetic-dna#respond Tue, 21 Nov 2023 17:23:51 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/11/biologists-unveil-the-first-living-yeast-cells-with-over-50-synthetic-dna

To get several of the modified chromosomes into the same yeast cell, Boeke’s team ran a lengthy cross-breeding program, mating cells with different combinations of genomes. At each step there was an extensive “debugging” process, as synthetic chromosomes interacted in unpredictable ways.

Using this approach, the team incorporated six full chromosomes and part of another one into a cell that survived and grew. They then developed a method called chromosome substitution to transfer the largest yeast chromosome from a donor cell, bumping the total to seven and a half and increasing the total amount of synthetic DNA to over 50 percent.

Getting all 17 synthetic chromosomes into a single cell will require considerable extra work, but crossing the halfway point is a significant achievement. And if the team can create yeast with a fully synthetic genome, it will mark a step change in our ability to manipulate the code of life.

True Blue: High-Power Propulsion for Gateway https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/11/true-blue-high-power-propulsion-for-gateway https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/11/true-blue-high-power-propulsion-for-gateway#respond Thu, 16 Nov 2023 13:24:09 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/11/true-blue-high-power-propulsion-for-gateway

The blue hue of the Advanced Electric Propulsion System (AEPS) is seen inside a vacuum chamber at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland during recent thruster qualification testing. This 12-kilowatt Hall thruster is the most powerful electric propulsion thruster in production, and it will be critical to future science and exploration missions at the Moon and beyond.

The blue plume is a steady stream of ionized xenon gas ejected to produce low, highly efficient thrust. These electric propulsion systems accelerate spacecraft to extremely high speeds over time using only a fraction of the fuel chemical propulsion systems require, making electric propulsion an excellent choice for deep-space exploration and science missions.

Three AEPS thrusters will be mounted on the Power and Propulsion Element, a foundational component of Gateway. The small lunar space station is critical to the agency’s Artemis missions that will help prepare for human missions to Mars. The Power and Propulsion Element will provide Gateway with power, high-rate communications, and allow it to maintain its unique orbit around the Moon.
