Engineers at the University of California San Diego have shed new light on the atomic-level mechanism of the sulfur embrittlement of nickel, a classic problem that has puzzled the scientific community for nearly a century. These are of broad technological importance. —Jian Luo. —Jian Luo.

Heretofore, pulling off that magic trick required the ability to detect light that had interacted with the genuine, real-world article. A camera recorded the near-infrared light. This flash Joule heating process can also extract rare earths from fly ash, a by-product of coal combustion. Brandon Martin/Rice University.

Left, global light-duty fleet in the electric-favoring case; right, the hydrogen-favoring case. Primary energy sources in model include fossil fuels (crude oil, natural gas, and coal); non-renewable non-fossil sources (nuclear); and renewable sources (hydroelectric, wind, solar, and biomass).

The patches of light and dark that she’d been able to see with the implant’s help vanished. He received an implant in one eye in 2019 and remembers seeing the shining lights of Christmas trees that holiday season. Second Sight began with a flash of light. The surgeon inserted a second wire, and the man saw two spots of light. “If

Unlike Lithium, hydrogen is the most plentiful element in the universe ( Lithium is the key component in electric vehicle batteries). Hydrogen production as mentioned above is based on electrolysis, a chemical process that produces hydrogen which is a universal, light, and highly reactive fuel. So what is green hydrogen?

Among the most articulate and almost certainly the wonkiest is Jesse Jenkins , a professor of engineering at Princeton University, where he heads the ZERO Lab—the Zero-carbon Energy systems Research and Optimization Laboratory, that is. Jenkins: We must at least be able to speak to society’s concerns, beyond just “Do the lights stay on?”

It’s very similar to the infrastructure for electric cars because the idea, ultimately, for electric cars is that you also are revamping your grid to facilitate, whatchamacallit, intermittent renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, because having an electric car that runs off a coal-fired power plant is defeating the purpose, essentially.
