1,338 Students Graduate during the 23rd Convocation of IIT Guwahati © Provided by The Times of India GUWAHATI: A total of 1,338 students received their degrees in various disciplines at the 23rd convocation of the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, which was held online on Friday. This included four students who received Joint Degrees with Gifu University, Japan. The graduating students include 649 BTech and BDes students, 175 PhD students and 518 master degree students. As many as 45 d...

Scientists Discover How Oxygen Loss Saps a Lithium-Ion Battery’s Voltage When lithium ions flow in and out of a battery electrode during charging and discharging, a tiny bit of oxygen seeps out and the battery’s voltage – a measure of how much energy it delivers – fades an equally tiny bit. The losses mount over time, and can eventually sap the battery’s energy storage capacity by 10-15%. Now researchers have measured...

Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Researchers identify exotic metals in unexpected quantum systems Figure: Phase diagram of two-orbital systems. Various metals emerge depending on the values of electron interactions denoted by U (x-axis) and Hund’s coupling J/U (y-axis). Electrons are ubiquitous among atoms, subatomic tokens of energy that can independently change how a system behaves—but they also can change each other. An international research collaboration found that co...

The well-established, cost-competitive ethanol market provides an opportunity to shift the composition of jet fuel and other fuel products away from petroleum. In the first step of a multi-step ethanol-to-jet-fuel process earlier developed by DOE’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL’s), a catalyst is used to convert ethanol into butene-rich C3+...

Friday, May 21, 2021 A major hurdle in the pursuit of sustainable fuels is a step closer to being solved thanks to a new approach to long-duration energy storage. Though more common today, the proliferation of solar power and other renewable energy sources has been limited by the cost, relative inefficiency and sheer scale required of the batteries needed for long-term energy storage. A team of scientists at the Yale Energy Sciences Institute have now described the conceptual framework for the ...

Using Nanotechnology to Address the Limitations of Hydrogen Production Image Credit: Panchenko Vladimir/Shutterstock.com A clean hydrogen economy could be the answer to transitioning out of fossil fuel use. Being the most abundant element on the Earth and making up more than 90% of all known matter, it can be seen as the most feasible renewable resource available. With its non-toxic characteristics, it has become an alternative fuel globally; NASA has used hydrogen to power sp...
