Asian markets mostly rose on Friday, with Japanese shares gaining on a weaker yen, although Seoul shares plunged as South Korea's political crisis deepened with a second impeachment vote. Japan's Nikkei index closed up 1.8 percent, with the yen's recent weakness proving a boon for major exporters. The yen hit 158.08 per US dollar on Thursday evening - its lowest in almost six months - befo

The aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) system, a renewable energy innovation leveraging geothermal heat, is gaining traction as a method to cut fuel use and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. By storing heat underground in aquifers and using groundwater as a medium, the system provides an efficient solution for heating and cooling buildings depending on seasonal demands. Primarily adopted

A team led by Prof. Meng Li from Henan University's School of Nanoscience and Materials Engineering has unveiled an innovative approach to overcoming stability and efficiency challenges in tin-lead (Sn-Pb) perovskite solar cells. The researchers' work focuses on optimizing the buried hole-selective interface using a specially designed self-assembled material, offering major implications for sing

Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Dec 26, 2024
With the world pivoting toward renewable energy, the need for effective methods of producing clean energy has never been more urgent. Researchers are turning to photochemical water oxidation - a process that uses light to split water molecules, releasing oxygen - as a promising pathway for sustainable energy production. However, the intricate catalytic mechanisms driving this reaction remain und

Heating plasma to the ultra-high temperatures needed for fusion reactions requires more than turning the dial on a thermostat. Scientists consider multiple methods, one of which involves injecting electromagnetic waves into the plasma, the same process that heats food in microwave ovens. But when they produce one type of heating wave, they can sometimes simultaneously create another type of wave

MIT physicists have created a new and long-lasting magnetic state in a material, using only light. In a study appearing in Nature, the researchers report using a terahertz laser - a light source that oscillates more than a trillion times per second - to directly stimulate atoms in an antiferromagnetic material. The laser's oscillations are tuned to the natural vibrations among the material
