Sustainable Jet Fuel – From ‘Wet-Waste’ to Paraffin
Recent innovation has seen the creation of sustainable jet fuel in finding a solution to reduce the tremendous amount of carbon dioxide emitted during flight travel. Researchers in the US have now found a way in which they can use our food waste to turn it into a type of paraffin (hydrocarbon liquid that is […]
Spicy Solar Panels – Chemical Discovered in Chillies That Improves Solar Power Efficiency
Capsaicin, the chemical in chilli peppers that makes them spicy, has been discovered as an efficient addition to solar panels. A team of scientists from East China Normal University in Shanghai, led by Qinye Bao, found that adding the chemical to solar cells helped boost the efficiency of heat absorption on perovskite solar panels. Perovskite […]
