Scientists at Stanford have developed a battery that uses nanotechnology to create electricity from the difference in salt content between fresh water and sea water. The researchers hope to use the ...

Scientists have created the first rechargeable battery that uses seawater and freshwater to generate electricity. If installed into every ocean-discharging river in the world (that's not a realistic ...

Ocean makes up 71% of the Earth's surface, and they also harbor one of the world's greatest yet almost untouched energy source: osmotic power. The salinity gradient where seawater and freshwater meet ...

National Research Foundation of Korea (President Lee Kwang-Bok) announced that Professor Ho-Seok Park's research team at Sungkyunkwan University has successfully developed a high-capacity, long-life ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Currently, 600 million people face water scarcity. Depending on future rates of population growth, between 2.7 billion and 3.2 billion people may be living in either water-scarce ...

The new review outlines how these materials boost stability, extend cycle life, and improve performance across lithium, sodium, potassium, and wide-temperature battery systems. Published in Nano-Micro ...

Nanoletter – Water desalination is an important approach to provide fresh water around the world, although its high energy consumption, and thus high cost, call for new, efficient technology. Here, we ...

The development history, characteristics and applications of high entropy alloys, high entropy oxides and high entropy MXenes are reviewed. High entropy materials as cathode, anode and electrolyte to ...

The Nature Index 2024 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
