“Forever” diamond battery takes up to 28,000 years to run out of charge
California startup Nano Diamond Battery (NDB) says it has designed a battery made from nuclear waste that will take up to 28,000 years to run out of charge. The “forever” diamond battery was developed for use in deep space and other niche applications, but a consumer-facing prototype is also in the works. The firm said that the latter model will be able to last for nine consecutive years. It […]

Dual-function catalyst produces hydrogen fuel while cleaning up polluted water
Researchers developed a new catalyst that generates hydrogen fuel while destroying water pollutants. In a study published on March 17 in the journal ACS ES&T Engineering, the researchers described how they merged multiple metals to more efficiently produce hydrogen from wastewater. Exploring a clean and efficient way of generating hydrogen Hydrogen is a low-polluting source of energy and one of the most abundant […]

Toyota to sell hydrogen fuel cell module to companies
Toyota will sell a hydrogen fuel cell module to manufacturers starting later this year as an alternative to electrified powertrains. The Japanese automaker has been at the forefront of hydrogen fuel technology since developing a hydrogen-powered electric vehicle, the Toyota Mirai. The new module will be compatible with stationary generators and various types of vehicles, including […]

US Navy’s solar satellite can open the way for solar farms in space
Researchers with the Navy are testing a space-based solar panel in a bid to install a solar farm in orbit around Earth. Known as the Photovoltaic Radiofrequency Antenna Module (PRAM), the solar panel is no bigger than a pizza box but can be scaled up to generate large amounts of energy. The Navy launched PRAM to space in May last […]

Researchers to 3D-print living human pancreas for diabetes research
An international team of researchers will be 3D printing live human pancreas models as part of a research initiative called the “European ENLIGHT Project.” The researchers plan to use the “bioprinted” models to improve the testing of diabetes medications and eventually treatments for other diseases like cancer. The European Union‘s Horizon 2020 Innovation Fund awarded the project […]

Pentagon’s solar panel in space could one day supply electricity to any place on Earth
Researchers with the Department of Defense successfully harvested solar energy from space using a solar panel that could one day beam energy to any place on Earth. Called the Photovoltaic Radiofrequency Antenna Module (PRAM), the prototype solar panel is currently the size of a pizza box but could eventually be scaled up in order to send enormous amounts […]

New catalyst material can help spur the rise of lithium-sulfur batteries
Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) are some of the most promising batteries available today. They are cheaper, lighter and capable of storing much more energy than conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which currently power most kinds of electronic devices. But LSBs can only be recharged a few times before degrading. Now, South Korean researchers might have just found the right catalyst […]

Spying from space: New satellite can produce “crystal clear” images of any place on Earth
A new satellite from American space company Capella Space can produce “crystal clear” radar images of any place in the world and even peer through certain structures. Called Capella-2, the bedroom-sized satellite beams radio signals that can penetrate imaging barriers like cloud cover and nighttime to produce high-resolution radar images that show the inside of lightweight […]

Goodbye Earth? Astrophysicist claims humans can move into a space colony in 15 years
In under two decades, humans can start abandoning Earth for an enormous, spinning human colony deep in the asteroid belt, according to astrophysicist Pekka Janhunen of the Finnish Meteorological Institute in Finland. In a new paper posted in the preprint server arXiv, Janhunen proposed a “megasatellite” composed of thousands of cylindrical spacecraft that are all linked together inside a […]
