Teslarati

and shared a few of their insights. . After several conversations with Beta testers, there are a few issues that they repeatedly bring up. “Biggest issue they need to address is the failure of the software to slow the car in advance of speed limit changes, traffic lights, and hard turns. Phantom Braking.

Researchers develop new stable artificial photosynthesis device to produce ethylene and hydrogen from sunlight and CO2

Green Car Congress

The authors also provide new insight into how electrons and charge carriers called “holes” contribute to degradation in artificial photosynthesis. Electron microscopy experiments at the Molecular Foundry confirmed that cuprous oxide quickly oxidizes or corrodes within minutes of exposure to light and water. Zheng, F.,

Rice team demonstrates more efficient photocatalyst for converting ammonia to hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Rice University nanoscientists have demonstrated a new catalyst that can convert ammonia into hydrogen fuel at ambient pressure using only light energy, mainly due to a plasmonic effect that makes the catalyst more efficient. And the main catalytic effect came from the near-field induced by the antenna when it absorbs light.
