Simple and effective solar-powered desalination guarantees a thrivable future

Simple And Effective Solar-Powered Desalination

|

All forms of life require water, and simple and effective solar-powered desalination is the key. Water covers approximately 70 per cent of the Earth’s surface, yet the accessible traditional freshwater resources, including lakes, ponds, and creeks account for less than 0.3% of the total (Li et al., 2021). Projections suggest the global population will reach […]

New battery technology is finding a potential use for graphene in EV batteries.

Uses for Graphene in New Battery Tech

|

Graphene, in new battery tech, provides excellent electrical conductivity compared to Lithium-ion batteries. Better conductivity allows it to charge cells extraordinarily fast, and deliver very high currents. This is especially suitable for automobile batteries and instant device-to-device charging. In this article we look at the applications for graphene in new technologies, and its advantages and

Making use of human waste for energy could solve many problems on the path to net zero.

Waste for Energy: The Power of Biogas and Biomass

|

Harnessing human waste for energy is one solution being proposed to help meet future energy demand. Each year, the United States generates more than 70 million tonnes of organic trash. Poor waste management poses many risks to human health. That includes the infection of subsurface fresh drinking water and increases in the ratio of nitrates
