Researchers are delving into the potential of hard carbon anodes as a sustainable, high-capacity replacement for conventional graphite anodes in sodium-ion, lithium-ion, and potassium-ion batteries. A team from Imperial College London published about this in Advanced Materials. Hard carbon demonstrates…
Student team Solar Team Eindhoven from the Eindhoven University of Technology has developed the first off-road car powered by the energy of the sun, making it independent of charging stations. Stella Terra is robust enough to navigate not only on…
When we think of the green energy sources, solar and wind energy come to mind first. But thanks to the innovative strides of Portuguese start-up Cascatachuva—founded by twin brothers Andriy Lyubchyk and Sergiy Lyubchyk, along with their distinguished chemical engineering…
The increasing electrification in society leads to higher peak loads on the electricity grid. Some people are warning for an energy transition that is too fast. Others are hopeful for a fully electric future. In a report commissioned by the…
In Texas, Stratos is under construction: the largest carbon capture facility in the world. The goal is to remove 500,000 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere annually. Although the project receives financial support from the Biden administration, there is criticism.…
Geothermal wells existing in the Upper Rhine Valley would allow for the reliable extraction of lithium for several decades without these sources running dry. This is the result of recent data analyses made by researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology…
Today TNO announced the launch of a digital health spin-off, AIKON Health, focused on chronic care management, starting with heart monitoring. AIKON will build upon technology developed by TNO at Holst Centre, where TNO works on hybrid printed electronics and…
When Ellen van Leeuwen started as a data analyst at the Royal Netherlands Aerospace Centre (NLR) at age twenty-one, she and the secretary were the only women in the department. Over thirty years later, she still works there – now…
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has brought back fascinating data from its latest exploration of exoplanet K2-18b. The planet, which is 8.6 times more massive than Earth, has shown the presence of carbon-bearing molecules, including carbon dioxide and methane. This…
Astrape Networks, a tech start-up based in the Netherlands, Eindhoven, has secured €1.6 million in pre-seed funding to revolutionise data centres with integrated photonics technology. The firm’s unique approach could offer an energy-efficient solution to the increasing global demand for…
