Perma-Fix’s PFAS waste/product destruction technology
Perma-Fix leverages advanced monitoring technology and university partnerships to develop a patented hydrolytic chemical destruction technology that effectively removes over 99.99% of PFAS. Perma-Fix has patented and commercialized a hydrolytic chemical destruction process for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that achieves greater than 99.99% destruction of both short- and long-chain PFAS. Commercial-scale liquid waste batch […]
UKFE launches £1.3bn UK integration strategy, UKAEA publishes national roadmap
The UK has significantly increased its clean energy ambitions with a series of major announcements, mainly around the UK Fusion Strategy. The development outlines a concerted national effort to commercialize fusion power and capture top share in a market predicted to reach £12 trillion by 2100. At the heart of this plan is UK Fusion […]
Platinum price pressures and market realities: the hydrogen economy
IDTechEx experts assess the future of proton exchange membrane (PEM) technology in the hydrogen economy The long-awaited development of a hydrogen economy is increasingly defined by the promise of a green tomorrow, but at the same time limited by economic constraints. Hydrogen production, particularly for green hydrogen, and hydrogen applications such as PEM fuel cells […]
The science of getting there
The idea of sending humans to Mars is often framed as a matter of ambition and funding. In reality, future missions to Mars are a logistical problem shaped by physics. Distance, energy, time, and mass define what is possible long before politics and budget matter. Mars is on average about 225 million kilometers from Earth. […]
X-SEED project: Supercritical membraneless electrolysis
A European consortium is promoting electrolysis with membrane-less electrolyzers to improve the production of renewable hydrogen to support Europe’s climate-neutral energy goals. X-SEED is a European research initiative to develop supercritical membraneless electrolysis technology to accelerate the production of renewable hydrogen. The consortium brings together industry and research partners to improve the efficiency, durability and […]
Record-breaking 2025 season hints at climate threats
In 2025, the scale of wildfires in the EU reached unprecedented levels, making it the most destructive fire season ever recorded across the EU. More than 1.07 million hectares of land has been burned within the EU’s borders, according to satellite data from the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS). This is approximately the area […]
How quantum science will shape our future
Today, April 14th, is World Quantum Day. This is a global moment to step back and consider an area of science that is both profoundly counterintuitive and secretly essential to modern life. Beyond universities, labs, museums, and online platforms, people are beginning to come together to explore quantum physics. Not as an abstract curiosity, but […]
Using bubbles to remove PFAS from landfills
Engineer air and foam to recover PFAS from landfills. High concentrations of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been found in landfills around the world. These chemicals can migrate off-site and contaminate downstream water treatment plants and the surrounding environment. Foam separation – the process of blowing air into contaminated water to lift PFAS into […]
Current and former commissioners convene leading clean energy experts for European Sustainable Energy Week 2026
The European Commission has announced the program and opened registration for European Sustainable Energy Week 2026 (EUUSEW). This year’s European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW) event marks a special milestone: 20 years of bringing together Europe’s energy community to form a “Clean, Safe and Competitive Energy Union”, as highlighted in its theme. Through a co-created program […]
For the first time, the climate of a rocky exoplanet similar to Earth is elucidated
An international team used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to map the climate of rocky exoplanets with Earth-like masses in the TRAPPIST-1 system. First discovered in 2000, TRAPPIST-1 is a red dwarf star thought to be about 3 billion years older than our solar system. Further discoveries in 2016 and 2017 confirmed at least […]
