A decentralized cloud would minimize the need to use third-party services to manage and store data on people and business enterprises. The HEC can allow consumers to better control how their data is stored, shared, and monetized, Alamouti says. He says IEEE was the first to publish his articles.

A promising way of storing solar energy is via chemical fuels, in particular hydrogen as it is considered as a future energy carrier. The greatest challenge is to develop a suitable technology for large scale and cost effective solar fuel production to compete with fossil fuel. —Pawar and Tahir. Govinder S. Pawar & Asif A.

Many of such compounds are low-cost, and some are even biomass in origin. Honma suggested to the Nikkei that a next step will be to look further for organic materials that more efficiently store power and boost the battery’s capacity, with a goal of developing a secondary battery for electric vehicles.

While a conventional cathode stores ions between the layers of its molecular structure (intercalation) the metal fluorides store them via a reversible electrochemical reaction, called a conversion reaction. Measurements also indicate that these new materials could yield a cathode that is extremely energy-efficient.
