New redox flow battery could store grid scale green energy more cheaply
From University of Cincinnati 09/09/23 Redox-flow battery eliminates costly and inefficient membrane. Jimmy Jiang envisions a future where every house is powered by renewable energy stored in batteries. In his chemistry lab, Jiang and his students at the University of Cincinnati have created a new battery that could have profound implications for the large-scale energy […]
Pulsating like the heart: Bio-inspired device pumps industrial liquids more efficiently
From SInstitute of Science and Technology Austria 07/09/23 ISTA scientists show how pulsating pumping can lead to energy savings Pumping liquids may seem like a solved problem but optimizing the process is still an area of active research. Any pumping application—from industrial scales to heating systems at home—would benefit from a reduction in energy demands. […]
