Heat of Combustion

It is that time of year when my poor dog cowers under the bed as the rocket's red glare of fireworks is seen and heard across the country. Perhaps I am stealing from my fellow writer and chemist, Dr. Bloom, but I just wanted to share what I had learned about the chemistry underlying all that color filling our skies.

Nuclear fusion could be a potentially limitless clean energy source. Scientists recently made a big breakthrough in fusion power research, but there's still a long road ahead.

Or, how to explore the solar system and be back in time for Thanksgiving. It's no secret that I'm a space nerd. One of the major headaches of human space travel is that if you put the e…

The Biden administration's looming decision over its key climate law is dividing the legislators who wrote the bill — and the companies who lobbied for it.

New battery developed by researchers in US could provide "thousand mile" range for EVs and open up new possibilities for long-haul transport and electric planes.

Cat litter suppliers work overtime to fill demand following jump in wood pellet sales

A plant scientist from the University of Missouri has discovered a new way of measuring stress in plants, which comes at a time when plants are experiencing multiple stressors from heat, drought and flooding because of extreme weather events.

A step-by-step guide on how to track your macros, to optimize your diet, lose body fat and gain muscle

A new analysis has found that biogas and biomethane, while more climate friendly, leak more than twice as much methane as previously thought.

A new Imperial analysis has found that biogas and biomethane, while more climate friendly, leak more than twice as much methane as previously thought.

The technology to turn nuclear waste into energy, known as a nuclear fast reactor, has existed for decades. Now, it's getting a second look.

The science is pretty simple. It's all about oxidation (the chemical reaction that makes rust). It's just sped up super fast.

Using green hydrogen to produce zero-carbon electricity is not realistic, says the author, especially with 500+ MWe super-heavy gas turbines.

Scientists and governments around the world are investing in technology that could one day offer humanity a clean, unlimited source of energy.

Nuclear fusion has long been considered a near-impossible clean-energy solution. But technological advances—and the need for a flexible zero-carbon power grid—have made fusion worth considering.

Scientists at a laboratory in England have shattered the record for the amount of energy produced during a controlled, sustained fusion reaction. The production of 59 megajoules of ...

We need more ways to store renewable energy. These scientists are finding ways to overcome metal-air batteries current shortcomings.

In today's world, where technology is advancing rapidly and the requirements for each step of the production chain are becoming more complex, it's not enough to sit still; you have to improve. International companies are lining up to hire employees capable of solving complex technical problems and finding new work solutions. With the right philosophy, companies can reach incredible profits by remaining competitive,…

If you haven't heard about the hot temperatures here on Earth this July, welcome back from your time in outer space. High temperatures tend to scream "forest fires coming!" and "let's do more to reduce greenhouse gas emissions" to most people.  For that reason, it is good news worth sharing that Kore Infrastructure have partnered […]

In Sweden, Wärtsilä will deliver the know-how and equipment for a significant Swedish bioLNG project. The Wärtsilä solution will upgrade the biogas from agricultural waste and then liquefy it into high quality bioLNG. The installation has been ordered by Gasum AB and it will be located at the company's facility near Götene, Sweden. The order was booked […]
