New fuel cell technology could enable electric aviation
Researchers have identified fuel cell solutions that will help electrify transportation systems and overcome the limitations of traditional batteries. Fuel cells triple the energy per pound of today’s best electric car batteries, providing a lightweight option to power trucks, planes, or ships. In contrast to batteries, fuel cells can be refueled immediately, rather than being […]
How antibacterial coatings reduce infections that have been hit in hospitals
Hospital Infectious Diseases (HAIs) continue to challenge health systems around the world, threatening patient safety and straining hospital resources. Despite advances in hygiene protocols and sterilization habits, these infectious diseases remain common due to the persistence of pathogenic microorganisms on high-touch surfaces and medical devices. In recent years, antibacterial coatings have emerged as an important […]

Supernova Project converts solar PV sectors through AI
The Supernova project aims to improve efficiency and quality in the solar sector to use AI to enhance efficiency, data management and operational maintenance practices across the value chain. The Supernova project was established to increase quality and efficiency across the solar (PV) sector value chain by breaking down barriers for different stakeholders. The consortium, […]
Working on methane emissions to promote sustainable agriculture
Livestock, especially cattle and sheep, release significant amounts of methane emissions during digestion and through intestinal fermentation from fertilizer management. Globally, animal agriculture contributes to approximately 32% of human-induced methane emissions. This greenhouse gas has been more than 80 times stronger than CO2 for 20 years, making it an important climate target. Research shows that […]
