Testing spray-on solar cell technology for autonomous aircraft

Source: University of Sheffield Scientists will begin testing a new way to use spray-on solar cell technology to power autonomous aircraft that fly high in the atmosphere and provide communication networks - enabling more people around the world access to digital technologies. The School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences has

New sensor could be a game-changer for the hydrogen economy

New sensor could be a game-changer for the hydrogen economy

by Hege Tunstad, Norwegianscitechnews.com Until now, it has been almost impossible to measure the energy density of hydrogen precisely, but a new sensor can register every single molecule. This could lay the foundation for correct accounting in the hydrogen economy. People like to know how much and what they

An electrochemical approach turns ammonia into pure hydrogen

An electrochemical approach turns ammonia into pure hydrogen

An MIT team has demonstrated a more efficient way to extract pure hydrogen gas from hydrogen carrier molecules. By Anne Trafton, MIT News As a liquid that is easily stored and transported, ammonia (NH3) is an attractive carrier for hydrogen, which is used in fuel cells, semiconductor manufacturing, chemical processing,

More Energy, Same Weight: Fraunhofer ISE Optimizes Battery Cells

Together with partners from research and industry, the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE has modified the structure of battery electrodes so that the battery cells can store 10 to 15 percent more energy at the same weight. They achieved this by more than tripling the coating thickness of
