Successful completion of Illinois Basin - Decatur CCS project; CO2 from ethanol plant

Green Car Congress

ADM and the University of Illinois announced the successful completion of the Illinois Basin - Decatur Project (IBDP), a carbon capture and storage (CCS) project designed to evaluate and test the technology at commercial scale. The project is currently permitted to operate through 2022 and has the potential to store up to 5.5

New cathode design and understanding of electrolyte delivers greater efficiency in magnesium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers have achieved a significant boost in the storage capacity of magnesium-ion batteries through a new design for the cathode and a new understanding of the electrolyte. The new battery stores energy by inserting magnesium monochloride into a host, such as titanium disulfide. That altogether lowers the battery’s efficiency.

Nano-vault architecture alleviates stress in Si-based anodes for Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

New research conducted by the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) has identified a specific building block that improves the anode in lithium-ion batteries. But in graphite anodes, six atoms of carbon are needed to store one lithium ion, so the energy density of these batteries is low.

Study: hydrogen boride nanosheets are a promising hydrogen carrier; 8wt% under ambient conditions

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Tokyo Institute of Technology, University of Tsukuba, and colleagues in Japan report a promising hydrogen carrier in the form of hydrogen boride nanosheets. The two-dimensional materials derived from magnesium diboride (MgB 2 ) were first reported by researchers in Japan in 2017.

Deep Learning Can’t be Trusted Brain Modelling Pioneer Says

Cars That Think

Grossberg—an endowed professor of cognitive and neural systems, and of mathematics and statistics, psychological and brain sciences, and biomedical engineering at Boston University —based ART on his theories about how the brain processes information. It is already happening with efforts such as designing autonomous cars and airplanes.

Generating Power on Earth From the Coldness of Deep Space

Cars That Think

But we have demonstrated that by directly using power generated by the cold universe, we can chill water to cool buildings by as much as 5 ÂşC during the day without electricity and light the night without wires or batteries. And structures can be specifically designed to strongly reflect the wavelengths of sunlight. Sound crazy?
