Recreating photosynthesis for unlimited hydrogen energy

Posted by in categories: energy, sustainability

“I believe that water will one day be employed as fuel, that hydrogen and oxygen which constitute it, used singly or together, will furnish an inexhaustible source of heat and light, of an intensity of which coal is not capable.” – Jules Verne, The Mysterious Island (1874).

We have come a long way since science fiction writer Jules Verne wrote this visionary sentence, but hydrogen has still not emerged as a major source of energy. ESA is setting out to change this through the latest Open Space Innovation Platform (OSIP) call for ideas.

Engineers designed a new nanoscale 3D printing material that can be printed at a speed of 100 mm/s

Posted by in categories: 3D printing, drones, energy, nanotechnology, satellites

It’s all thanks to nanoclusters.

A new nanoscale 3D printing material developed by Stanford University engineers may provide superior structural protection for satellites, drones, and microelectronicsAn improved lightweight, a protective lattice that can absorb twice as much energy as previous materials of a similar density has been developed by engineers for nanoscale 3D printing.

According to the study led by Stanford University, a nanoscale 3D printing material, which creates structures that are a fraction of the width of a human hair, will enable to print of materials that are available for use, especially when printing at very small scales.

Four Numbers That Should Serve as Wakeup Calls for All of Us

Posted by in category: energy

Four numbers that were in the news this week that should be a wakeup call for humanity.


8 billion is Earth’s human population. 419 PPM is atmospheric CO2 levels. 636 are COP27 fossil fuel lobbyists. 100 are the countries at COP.

Delhi Couple Converts 3M Litres of Used Cooking Oil from Eateries into Biodiesel

Posted by in category: energy

KNP Arises, a Delhi-based startup run by Kirti and Sushil Vaishnav, collects used cooking oils from restaurants and converts it into biodiesel, which generates 80% lower carbon emissions as compared to fossil fuels.

Cyber vulnerability discovered in networks used by spacecraft, aircraft and energy generation systems

Posted by in categories: cybercrime/malcode, energy, internet

A major vulnerability in a networking technology widely used in critical infrastructures such as spacecraft, aircraft, energy generation systems and industrial control systems was exposed by researchers at the University of Michigan and NASA.

It goes after a network protocol and hardware system called time-triggered ethernet, or TTE, which greatly reduces costs in high-risk settings by allowing mission-critical devices (like flight controls and ) and less important devices (like passenger WiFi or data collection) to coexist on the same network hardware. This blend of devices on a single network arose as part of a push by many industries to reduce network costs and boost efficiency.

‘Hydrogen cannot be considered a large-scale solution for heating or transport’, says energy-system study

Posted by in category: energy

It would usually be cheaper to use e-fuels derived from hydrogen — rather than H2 directly — due to system costs, academic paper explains.

Evidence found of ions behaving differently than expected in fusion reactions

Posted by in category: energy

A team of researchers at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, in California, has found evidence of ions behaving differently than expected in their fusion reactions.

In their paper published in the journal Nature Physics, the group describes their study of ions in the plasma generated in their . Stefano Atzeni, with Università di Roma “La Sapienza,” has published a News & Views piece in the same journal issue giving an overview of the work being done at the NIF and the effort now being conducted by the team to better understand the unexpected ion behavior.

Scientists around the world have been trying for many years to replicate the that occur in the sun—this could provide humanity a nearly limitless source of energy. Such work has been step-by-step, with researchers tweaking reactors in search of the right combination of factors to produce more energy than is used to run the reactor.

World’s 1st bulker powered by wind sails into Port of Newcastle

Posted by in categories: energy, sustainability

It is the first coal carrier to be powered by hard sail wind power propulsion technology.

The world’s first partly wind-powered bulk carrier ship sailed to the Port of Newcastle on its maiden voyage this week.

The Japanese shipping company Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL), which delivered the 100,422 dwt (dead-weight tonnage) bulker on October 7, 2022, sailed to Newcastle on Monday, reported *Offshore Energy*.
