-(Natural News) Thermochromic materials are “smart” materials that change their color depending on the temperature of their surroundings. Recently, a Singaporean research team presented a liquid that grew much darker as it got hotter. Their invention might prove useful in smart windows and other applications that respond to temperature changes. Unlike earlier examples that relied […]

-(Natural News) In a few years, you could be shopping for mobile phones that pack more juice and last twice as long with a single charge than your current phone. In their study, which was featured in Nature Materials, engineers at The Pennsylvania State University have developed a way to extend battery life and performance using a novel technology. […]

-(Natural News) Millions of years ago, asteroids slammed into Mars, possibly delivering loads of the ingredients required for starting organic life on a planet. During the time of the cosmic event, the Red Planet may have possessed plenty of atmospheric hydrogen, which would have helped spur the development of simple organisms. Assuming Mars did have […]

-(Natural News) A joint effort between American and Chinese researchers have delivered a new take on the cathode of a lithium battery. Their prototype negatively-charged electrode will help reduce the size and weight of energy storage systems. A smaller, lighter lithium battery makes it possible to fit more cells aboard electric vehicles, extending their range […]

-(Natural News) Solid-state battery technology has reached a new milestone in terms of energy storage. Thanks to the new conducting material developed by Japanese researchers, all-solid-state batteries will boast the greatest energy density yet. The hydride lithium superionic conductor arranges clusters of hydrogen anions (negative ions) into specialized structures. The material displays far greater stability against lithium […]

-(Natural News) A waste product of the fertilizer industry might serve as a rich repository of rare earth elements. Researchers have devised a natural way to get these resources from phosphate rock waste. Their bacteria-based extraction method caused much less harm to the environment than current techniques that relied on synthetic acids. The discovery came […]

-(Natural News) Despite all the alarm and warnings about fossil fuels and carbon dioxide emissions, the “scientific” establishment has systematically blocked the publication of science papers and the dissemination of knowledge about cold fusion, also known as Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR). LENR describes a phenomenon that has been replicated in hundreds of laboratories around the […]

-(Natural News) New York-based researchers developed self-assembling nanomaterials for solar technology applications. Photovoltaic cells made from these materials reached up to 44 percent higher levels of efficiency. Furthermore, the cells generated more usable solar charges. Sunlight is an abundant source of clean energy. Industries are switching from traditional, highly polluting fossil fuel energy sources to solar power […]

-(Natural News) Indiana-based researchers found a way to upcycle disposable plastic bags into raw material for making valuable products. Their process turned polyethylene plastic into carbon chips with sufficient purity to serve as materials for manufacturing anodes of lithium-ion batteries. Plastic pollution is one of the biggest problems threatening the environment. A lot of this trash comes in the form […]

-(Natural News) Chinese researchers debuted a new photocatalytic disinfectant for eliminating pathogenic microorganisms in water. Made from incredibly thin sheets of graphitic carbon nitride and powered by light instead of electricity, the new disinfectant offered an environment-friendly approach to water purification. In trials, it reportedly purified samples of heavily-contaminated water in just half an hour. It also killed nearly […]
