Built using inexpensive semiconductors, the device packs all components to make hydrogen and can be scaled.

A research team led by Aditya Mohite, a professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at Rice University in the US, has designed a device that can use sunlight to generate hydrogen, with a record efficiency of 20.8 percent, a press release said.

Hydrogen is being touted as the future of clean energy due to its high energy density that could be deployed even to fly large planes. However, the process of generating hydrogen is currently heavily dependent on fossil fuels. For hydrogen to herald a new future in clean energy, it needs to be produced sustainably and without carbon emissions.

Researchers have developed an advanced dielectric capacitor using nanosheet technology, providing unprecedented energy storage density and stability. This breakthrough could significantly enhance renewable energy usage and electric vehicle production.

A research group, led by Nagoya University.

Nagoya University, sometimes abbreviated as NU, is a Japanese national research university located in Chikusa-ku, Nagoya. It was the seventh Imperial University in Japan, one of the first five Designated National University and selected as a Top Type university of Top Global University Project by the Japanese government. It is one of the highest ranked higher education institutions in Japan.

Astronomers at the University of Sydney have shown that a small, faint star is the coldest on record to produce emission at radio wavelength.

The ‘ultracool brown dwarf’ examined in the study is a ball of gas simmering at about 425 degrees centigrade—cooler than a typical campfire—without burning .

By contrast, the surface temperature of the sun, a nuclear inferno, is about 5,600 degrees.

The new projects will have a focus on disadvantaged communities.

The Biden administration announced Friday it will invest $20 billion from the federal “green bank” for clean energy projects in the region. This is according to a report by ABC News.

The money will come from two programs and will supply competitive grants to nonprofits, community development banks and other groups to invest in clean energy projects. Both funds will have a focus on disadvantaged communities.

IVO Ltd. believes its new ‘Quantum Drive’ defies the laws of motion, and it aims to put it to the test by sending it to orbit on a SpaceX rocket.

US company IVO Ltd., a wireless power technology firm, is set to send an all-electric propulsion system for satellites to space for the first time in October.

The IVO Quantum Drive system was due to launch atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket as part of the rideshare mission Transporter 8 in June. However, delays in developing the company’s prototype led IVO to opt for sending their technology to space aboard SpaceX’s Transporter 9 later this year.
