Rice University researchers have found a method to engineer wood to trap CO2 by a likely scalable, energy-efficient approach that also makes the material more robust for construction purposes.
The capability of batteries to power microdevices, microrobots, and implanted medical devices has been constrained by the long-standing technological challenge of translating the electrochemical performance of large format batteries to microscale power sources.
Developing renewable energy sources is a top priority for researchers, political leaders, and communities as the planet tries to deal with the reality of climate change and the earth’s natural resources.
A recent study published in the journal Cell Reports Physical Science addresses this issue by fabricating a lightweight and ultrawhite nanoporous paint using hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) for daytime radiative cooling applications.
