Rice University researchers have developed an electrochemical reactor that has the potential to drastically reduce energy consumption for direct air capture, the removal of carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere. The new reactor design could be a part of the solution to the pressing problem of emission impacts on the climate and biosphere by enabling...
The Marine Corps base at Quantico could have its own small nuclear reactor to insulate it from power outages if plans floated by the U.S. Navy earlier this month are fruitful. Quantico is one of seven Navy and Marine Corps bases, including four in Virginia, slated for its own nuclear-based power supply. The information is...
Energy innovation in Europe is increasingly driven by advancements in software and artificial intelligence, which are playing a crucial role in transforming the continent’s energy systems. As Europe targets climate neutrality by 2050, modernising the electricity grid to incorporate renewable energy sources and manage decentralised energy production is essential. Generative AI and software lead this...
Researchers are using environmental DNA analysis to monitor the ocean surrounding fish farms without using much equipment or manpower.
It’s 7:30 am and the sun is finally warming up a chilly September fog. Just west of Sprague, Washington, a wide pasture is empty, except for a white pickup truck snaking its way across the dead grass. The truck stops at a random spot, a few yards away from a bleached cow skull. It must have...
The Air Force is testing out a novel source of clean energy that could change how bases are powered nationwide while ushering in unprecedented energy resilience. As Interesting Engineering reports, The Department of the Air Force recently awarded its first contract to Sage Geosystems to determine the viability of Geopressured Geothermal Systems in powering bases. The contract is for...
There’s a valley in rural southwest Utah that’s become a hub for renewable energy. Dozens of tall white wind turbines whoosh up in the sky. A sea of solar panels glistens in the distance. But the new kid on the block is mostly hidden underground. From the surface, Fervo Energy’s Cape Station looks more or less like an...
Amazon's backing of advanced nuclear signals a positive shift in how large-scale energy users approach energy needs and environmental ambitions.
Higher yield potential is driving adoption of digital farming, with two thirds of the famers using digital tools already and the same amount wanting to learn more about AI, according to Future Farming. This is one of the key findings from the 2024 Farmer Voice survey, a study among 2,000 farmers across Australia, Brazil, China, Germany, India, Kenya, Ukraine,...
More than 60 percent of Americans recycle their paper products, and the paper industry has made strides forward in using recycled materials. However, paper still adds to our landfills more than any other material, making up an estimated 23 percent of America’s solid municipal waste. The Department of Energy estimates that the country’s paper waste...
