CarbonCure

CarbonCure is a Canadian company that develops carbon dioxide removal technologies for concrete. The technology is retrofitted into concrete plants and enables producers to inject carbon dioxide into fresh concrete during mixing, where it becomes a mineral that is permanently embedded. The carbon dioxide mineralisation increases the concrete's strength, resulting in both economic and climate benefits.

The evolution of EU gas grid, and its hydrogen integration

The need to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) has been highlighted by several organisations and officialised by the Kyoto Protocol and subsequently the Paris Agreement in 2016.

Therapies Without Drugs

Researchers are investigating the potential of microimplants to stimulate nerve cells and treat chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, or Parkinson's disease.

Fastest High-precision 3D Printer

3D printers working in the millimeter range and larger are increasingly used in industrial production processes. Many applications, however, require precise printing on the micrometer scale at a far higher speed.

Badia Farms

Badia Farms is a vertical farming company based in Dubai that grows fresh local produce using advanced hydroponics technology. It is the first commercial vertical farm to operate in the Gulf region.

Zimbabwe to Benefit from Pumped Hydroelectric Energy Storage

Zimbabwe is currently experiencing up to 18 hours of load-shedding daily so Ngonyezi Projects pumped hydroelectric energy storage power plant at Osborne dam will contribute to the reduction of the hours of load-shedding.

New Material Breaks World Record Turning Heat Into Electricity

The new material is so effective that it could be used to provide energy for sensors or even small computer processors. Instead of connecting small electrical devices to cables, they could generate their own electricity from temperature differences.

Multimaterial 3D Printing Manufactures Complex Objects, Fast

A new technique called multimaterial multinozzle 3D printing uses high-speed pressure valves to achieve rapid, continuous, and seamless switching between up to eight different printing materials, enabling the creation of complex shapes in a fraction of the time currently required using printheads that range from a single nozzle to large multinozzle arrays.

Colossus

3D printer startup Colossus are revolutionising thermoplastic extrusion printers in a big way: their large format direct pellet extrusion printers enable customers to print large format structures. IDTechEx Technology Analyst Dr Bryony Core investigates.

Energy from seawater

Salt is power. It might sound like alchemy, but the energy in places where salty ocean water and freshwater mingle could provide a massive source of renewable power. Researchers have developed an affordable, durable technology that could harness this so-called blue energy.

More efficient direct air capture of CO2 for regenerative fuels

Electric cars powered by green electricity or renewable hydrogen will make tomorrow's transportation more climate-friendly. Aircraft and ships, however, are sure to run on hydrocarbon fuels for some time yet.

Making solar cells can be like buttering bread

Formamidinium lead iodide is a very good material for photovoltaic cells, but getting the correct and stable crystal structure is a challenge. The techniques developed so far have produced rather poor results. However, scientists have now cracked it - using a blade and a dipping solution.

Storage of solar energy and wind power in metal powder

Hydrogen researchers are involved in a large European project on hydrogen storage. The goal is to develop a novel prototype tank that will store at least 50 kilograms of hydrogen in a minimum space. The European Union is funding the project with €2 million in the frame of the "Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking - FCH JU". Some €150,000 are earmarked for the Helmholtz researchers.
