Using an inexpensive polymer called melamine, researchers from UC Berkeley, Texas A&M and Stanford have created a cheap, easy and energy-efficient way to capture carbon dioxide from smokestacks. The low cost of porous melamine means that the material could be deployed widely.

The idea was to understand the changes in the molecular structure of molybdenum disulfide, so that it can be a better catalyst for hydrogen production: closer to platinum in efficiency, but earth-abundant and cheap. Molly is dirt cheap and abundant. The Texas Advanced Computing Center also added value. —Stan Chou.

market, the company’s recent release of a city EV with a price tag under $10,000 has some worried for when it and other low-cost companies do. Although competitive Chinese automaker BYD isn’t yet slated to enter the U.S. While BYD said just last month that it has no plans to enter the U.S.

Researchers in the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a new family of anode materials that can double the charge capacity of lithium-ion battery anodes. It is a simple, low-cost approach that can be applied to a broad range of alloy systems with various working ions such as Li, Na, or Mg.

And in any case, an inflexible approach to regulation has caused the cost of new nuclear to balloon – despite it being perhaps the most obvious solution to our long-term energy needs. Then came the shale gas revolution, pioneered in Texas. Northern England would now be as brimming with home-grown gas as parts of Pennsylvania and Texas.

Researchers from South Korea, Case Western Reserve University and University of North Texas have synthesized new inexpensive and easily produced metal-free catalysts—edge-selectively halogenated graphene nanoplatelets (XGnPs)—that can perform better than platinum in oxygen-reduction reactions. —Jeon et al.

We also examined the Texas Instruments 99/4A and the Atari 800. You waste a little bit of silicon, but silicon’s pretty cheap. Not only were development costs absorbed in company overhead, but there was no markup to pay, as there would have been inf the chips had been built by another company. It’s only sand.”
