Berkeley Lab team directly probes solid/liquid interface of electrochemical double layer

Green Car Congress

Originally conceived by Hermann von Helmholtz in the 19 th century, the EDL is a key concept in the modern electrochemistry of electrified interfaces. These concepts and models together serve as the foundation of modern electrochemistry, the researchers noted in an open-access paper describing the work published in Nature Communications.

Virtual Reality Helps Students Improve Their Math Literacy

Cars That Think

In the United States, eighth graders scored an average of 271 out of 500 in math on last year’s National Assessment of Educational Progress , as highlighted in a New York Times article. One way teachers are trying to help students grasp difficult concepts is through virtual-reality technology. It’s the lowest level in decades.

MIT-led team devises new approach to designing solid ion conductors; implications for high-energy solid-state batteries

Green Car Congress

In this article, we report correlations between lattice dynamics and ion mobility or stability against electrochemical oxidation, and highlight opportunities to search for fast, stable lithium ion conductors based on low lithium band center but high anion band center. The new concept was developed by a team led by MIT W.M.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

And the Norwegian company H2Carrier recently received approval in principle for its concept for an industrial-scale floating production unit to make green ammonia at sea. The technology to produce hydrogen by electrolyzing water has been around for more than 200 years. To meet such targets, it’ll be necessary to build, and build fast.

ExxonMobil, MIT and Synthetic Genomics team publishes results of LCA on algal biofuels; potential for large reductions in GHG

Green Car Congress

Algae have the potential to produce large volumes of fuel per unit area of production on marginal lands using saline water unsuitable for food crops. Thus, algal biofuels could expand transportation energy supplies, without significantly displacing land and water resources that would otherwise have been used for food production.

By modifying the text output initiated after a button press, it can send a stored password. And what if I were to measure my skin after too much sun exposure, drinking a lot of water , or other conditions that could alter it’s signature? This article appears in the January 2022 print issue as “My Password Is: [Color Bar].”.

New nanolithia cathodes may address technical drawbacks of Li-air batteries; scalable, cheap and safer Li-air battery system

Green Car Congress

An international team from MIT, Argonne National Laboratory and Peking University has demonstrated a lab-scale proof-of-concept of a new type of cathode for Li-air batteries that could overcome the current drawbacks to the technology, including a high potential gap (>1.2 V) Nature Energy 1, Article number: 16111 doi: 10.1038/nenergy.2016.111.
