New tech harnesses energy by mixing freshwater and seawater
Engineers at Stanford have created a new battery made from affordable and durable materials which can generate energy in places where salt and fresh waters mingle. The new tech could make coastal wastewater treatment plants - like the Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant in Los Angeles pictured above -...
Rice device converts heat to light
A new carbon nanotube film created by Engineers at Rice University converts waste heat into light and electricity. The new invention could make solar panels (and anything that wastes energy through heat) much more efficient in future. Currently, 20% of our industrial energy consumption is waste heat. The...
