A new approach to blue energy tackles one of the field’s most persistent problems: how to move ions quickly without sacrificing selectivity.

A nanodevice developed at EPFL produces an autonomous, stable current from evaporating saltwater by using heat and light to control the movement of ions and electrons. Previously, researchers in the ...

Osmotic energy, often called blue energy, is a promising way to generate sustainable electricity from the natural mixing of salt and fresh water. It exploits the voltage that arises when ions from ...

Global demand for lithium is rising fast as electric vehicles and grid batteries move from niche to default, yet the metal is ...

Industrial separations sit quietly at the heart of modern manufacturing, yet they consume enormous amounts of energy and generate significant environmental costs. A new membrane technology developed ...

Utah’s headlong rush to build data centers to power the AI boom is likely to rely upon fossil fuels for the foreseeable future, raising concerns about the state’s already struggling air quality.

The windowless buildings rising across North Carolina look more like warehouses than engines of climate change. They have no smokestacks and no obvious emissions. But inside, thousands of servers run ...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – JEA asked customers to reduce energy and water use Monday morning due to the extreme cold temperatures that are driving higher-than-normal electricity demand across the state. JEA ...

WEBSTER, N.Y. — Street maintenance crews and local contractors have been busy clearing snow and ice from streets, sidewalks, and parking lots following a recent snowstorm. Tony Zucco, a local ...

Steven Goldsmith receives funding from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. He is affiliated with Villanova University. Snow has returned to the Philadelphia region, and along with it the white ...

Salt spread on roads and sidewalks to melt snow and ice wreaks havoc on local streams and groundwater, not to mention our furry friends’ paws. Ice-melting chemicals can harm children and dogs if ...
