Methane has a greenhouse effect 80 times worse than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period, and emissions are skyrocketing even as we start reducing CO2. That makes UCF’s new hydrocarbon-capturing, sunlight-powered catalyst a very compelling idea.Continu… Continue reading Solar catalyst captures methane to create pure hydrogen and carbon
The ingredients in stars are usually pretty evenly mixed throughout, but now astronomers have discovered a bizarre star with two distinct faces, each made of a different element, which defies explanation.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: As… Continue reading Bizarre two-faced white dwarf star defies explanation

Exploring the mysteries of quantum mechanics surely seems like an endeavor that requires room-sized equipment and racks of electronics, along with large buckets of grant money, to accomplish. And while …read more Continue reading Getting into NMR Without the Superconducting Magnet
Coal is not generally thought of as a clean fuel source, but it might yet have a role to play in the push for greener energy. Researchers say that it could be a great material in which to store hydrogen gas, which is one of the most promising clean fue… Continue reading Coal’s green potential: storing energy instead of being burned for it
Multirotor drones have become a regular part of daily life, serving as everything from camera platforms to inspection tools and weapons of war. The vast majority run on lithium rechargeable …read more Continue reading Drone Flies For Five Hours With Hydrogen Fuel Cell
Alpine’s street cars might not be known for outrageous design, but this Alpenglow concept would grab its share of eyeballs even parked next to a Delage D12, an Aston Martin Valkyrie and a Bugatti Bolide. Plus, it’s noisy. Plus, it’s zero-emissions.Cont… Continue reading Alpine’s stunning hydrogen-hybrid Alpenglow concept
