Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new cooling technology that could significantly improve the energy efficiency of data centers and high-powered electronics. 

“Imagine if we could pull billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide directly from the air and transform it into sustainable fuels that power the world and slow climate change,” says Dr Sam Wenger, University of Sydney alumnus, Founder and CEO of Dac Labs.

In MIT Energy Initiative speaker series, Princeton Professor Emily Green explains the importance of climate change mitigation in the energy transition.

Wind energy is an important tool for reducing carbon emissions. Hundreds of thousands of wind turbines now operate globally, and despite recent challenges in some countries, analysts predict that wind power capacity could grow tenfold by 2050.

New research led by a Southwest Research Institute scientist identified a new source of energetic particles near the Sun.

New research from Colorado State University and Cornell University shows that the presence of solar panels in Colorado’s grasslands may reduce water stress, improve soil moisture levels and – particularly during dry years – increase plant growth by about 20% or more compared to open fields.

Below ocean wind farms, oil rigs and other offshore installations are mammoth networks of underwater structures, including pipelines, anchors, risers and cables, that are essential to harness the energy source.

In 2021, Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit (TCAT) in Ithaca received a grant to procure seven all-electric buses and began a pilot program that didn’t go as they’d hoped.

These devices could pack three times as much energy per pound as today’s best EV batteries, offering a lightweight option for powering trucks, planes, or ships.

According to researchers, hydrogen should not be transported more than a few hundred kilometres.
