High temperatures and ionizing radiation create extremely corrosive environments inside a nuclear reactor. To design long-lasting reactors, scientists must understand how radiation-induced chemical reactions impact structural materials.
One of the most pernicious arguments against the UKs Net Zero ambitions is that the country is only responsible for 1% of emissions. This is only true if you dont count imports or air travel, but it is also morally bankrupt. The UK has 0.8% of the worlds population, so, per capita we are 25% above average, an average which is already too high. New UK Climate Change Committee boss Emma Pinchbeck has pointed out that we cant meet the Paris ambitions if all the 1% and below countries give themselve

About 20 years ago, I was interviewing a candidate for a position at a major oil and gas company. On paper, they had impressive credentials, including extensive experience with hydrogen. Naturally, I asked what I thought was a straightforward follow-up: What are the primary sources of commercial hydrogen? The answer I received stopped me cold: You drill a hydrogen well.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
The owners of what was once Pennsylvania's biggest coal-fired power plant said Wednesday that they will turn it into a $10 billion natural gas-powered data center campus designed to capitalize on the fast-growing energy demands of Big Tech companies to power artificial intelligence and cloud computing applications.

When spring arrives and the heating season comes to an end, keeping warm becomes less of an issue. However, scientists remind us that it is not just a seasonal necessityheat is also a valuable energy resource that can be stored and used when needed most. Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) have discovered an innovative solution beneath our feet: using soil as an efficient thermal energy storage system.
Its no secret that the United States has major recycling problems, resulting in less than one-third of waste being recycledfrom customer confusion that leads to trash ending up in the recycling (or vice versa), to the costs of waste-management companies managing this contamination and sorting single-stream waste. These issues came to the forefront in 2018, when Chinawhich previously bought 70 percent of global plastic waste, according to NPR announced it would stop buying nearly all recycling fr
