On a planet aspiring to become carbon neutral, the once-stalwart coal power plant is an emerging anachronism. Such a conversion has never been done, but the report is another sign that the idea is gaining momentum—if with the slow steps of a baby needing decades to learn to walk. “A coal plants are planned to shutter by 2035.

Researchers in the Netherlands have demonstrated the direct conversion of synthesis gas through a Fischer-Tropsch process to C 2 through C 4 light olefins with selectivity up to 60 wt.% using catalysts that constitute iron nanoparticles (promoted by sulfur plus sodium) homogeneously dispersed on weakly interactive ?-alumina

The new solar cell can be excited by incident light on sunny days and raindrops on rainy days, yielding an optimal solar-to-electric conversion efficiency of 6.53% under AM 1.5 Graphene is a two-dimensional form of carbon in which the atoms are bonded into a honeycomb arrangement.

As the plasma cools, atoms recombine with electrons and in the process emit light in the UV, optical and IR regimes. With the higher voltage, the X-555 effectively analyzes all of the light REEs including lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd) samarium (Sm); plus heavy REEs europium (Eu), and gadolinium (Gd).
