EPFL engineers have examined the use of geothermal energy in two very different applications: a metro station and an underground data center. The works had a focus on the internal airflow conditions of these structures and possible optimization of the mechanical ventilation.
These devices could pack three times as much energy per pound as today's best EV batteries, offering a lightweight option for powering trucks, planes, or ships.
Sustainability has been one of the key topics at Formnext for several years now. It is becoming increasingly important, especially when it comes to innovations in the field of plastic materials.
In this episode, we explore how the simple act of popcorn popping inspired researchers at Carnegie Mellon University to revolutionize the synthesis of MXenes—a class of 2D materials known for their radiation shielding properties.
Today's carbon capture systems suffer a tradeoff between efficient capture and release, but a new approach developed at MIT can boost overall efficiency.
While the shortage of available housing is alarming, the quality of life for low-income households and elderly populations is also a major concern. So how can society address this enormous challenge?
This article discusses how RTC modules enhance EV charging infrastructure and the role of Micro Crystal, a leading provider of automotive-qualified RTC modules, in providing highly reliable, low-power timing solutions.
Iron-rich hematite, commonly found in rocks and soil, turns out to have magnetic properties that make it a promising material for ultrafast next-generation computing.
Scientists at EPFL have developed a scalable method to produce porous graphene membranes that efficiently separate carbon dioxide. The breakthrough could significantly reduce the cost and footprint of carbon capture technology.
Altair’s Future.Industry 2025, a premier global virtual event, united professionals, innovators, and technology enthusiasts to explore the convergence of advanced technologies and sustainability.
Researchers from Princeton and Rutgers University have used reinforcement learning, a method frequently deployed to train artificial intelligence, to show how flexible responses can substantially increase the cost-effectiveness of steps to defend cities like New York against climate change.
The rise of EVs and data centers boosts demand for ESS, which manages energy storage and distribution. Adam Tech's ESF/ESM connectors support this shift with high efficiency and reliability.
