Solar-powered innovation has shown year-long stability with zero utility energy costs, thanks to a new type of photothermal ...

Sorption-based atmospheric water harvesting has the potential to address water scarcity by extracting fresh water from the air. The performance of this technology largely depends on the sorbent used.

Uranium (U) is an essential fuel for clean and efficient nuclear power 1,2. Terrestrial U is limited and unevenly distributed globally, and conventional mining causes notable environmental damage, ...

A surprising breakthrough could help sodium-ion batteries rival lithium—and even turn seawater into drinking water. Scientists discovered that keeping water inside a key battery material, instead of ...

An improved membrane (yellow line) dramatically increased the amount of osmotic power harvested from salt gradients, like those found in estuaries where salt water (left tank) meets fresh water (right ...
