As the world grapples with surging energy demands, ceramic-based storage systems are emerging as a promising solution. Known for their outstanding thermochemical properties, ceramics can withstand high temperatures, making them ideal for energy storage. With ongoing research and development, ceramics…
The Zwarte Cross kicks off today as the largest paid music festival in the Netherlands and the largest motocross event in the world. Traditionally, there is much more to experience this weekend than just music and motorbikes, which is certainly…
Researchers have developed an innovative method to produce green ammonia through solar thermochemistry, promising greater efficiency than the traditional Haber-Bosch process. This green ammonia production, being adopted by industries like Aelius Energy, uses solar thermal energy and green hydrogen, drastically…
Researchers from Imperial College London have been awarded almost a million grant to develop a carbon-negative cement additive. The funding comes from the Carbon Capture, Usage & Storage (CCUS) Innovation 2.0 competition, of the UK government, says Imperial College in a press release. Need for a sustainable…
‘Electric driving is insanely polluting,’ ‘You’re better off going for a gasoline-powered car.’ These are statements that people are only too happy to raise during a birthday celebration. But to what extent are such claims actually true? Are electric vehicles…
A world without plastics is unthinkable, as is a world without a sustainable future. This is why a large part of the Kunststoffenbeurs – Plastics Fair, on September 20 and 21 in the Brabanthallen in Den Bosch – is dedicated…
A fascinating study between March and June 2023 reveals substantial performance variations in GPT-4 and GPT-3.5. The study assessed their performance on diverse tasks, including mathematics, sensitive questioning, code generation, and visual reasoning. In March 2023, GPT-4 exhibited an impressive…
Researchers at the University of Houston have developed molecular crystals that can capture radioactive iodine, a byproduct of nuclear waste, potentially transforming how we manage nuclear waste. The crystals are reusable, cost-effective, and may also be used for capturing carbon…
Meta’s recently released Llama 2, the latest iteration of their large language model, is now freely available for research and commercial use. With parameter sizes ranging from 7 billion to 70 billion and trained on 2 trillion tokens, the model…
A cohort of Italian researchers published a study demonstrating curcumin’s efficacy in reducing coral bleaching. The research group, involving scientists from the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), the University of Milan-Bicocca, and Genoa Aquarium, developed a biodegradable biomaterial to deliver…
