Global study shows potential of pumped hydro energy storage

Scientists have identified 530,000 sites worldwide suitable for pumped-hydro energy storage, with storage potential of about 22 million Gigawatt-hours by using geographic information system analysis. This is about one hundred times greater than required to support a 100% global renewable electricity system.

Researchers create new way to power electric cars

The innovation will enable electric vehicles of all sizes to run longer while maintaining zero emissions. The new technology uses water, carbon dioxide and the metal cobalt to produce hydrogen gas on demand at a relatively low temperature and pressure.

Cellulose-based material gives three sensors in one

Cellulose soaked in a carefully designed polymer mixture acts as a sensor to measure pressure, temperature and humidity - at the same time! The measurements are completely independent of each other. The sensor may be highly significant in fields such as robotics, healthcare and security.
