Energy Capacity of Supercapacitors Milestone
Researchers achieve milestone in energy capacity of supercapacitors. "This is a big step forward and gets us closer to achieving supercapacitors with high energy density, which would radically change how we store and manage energy," Professor Luis Echegoyen. (Tech Xplore article) >
Australia’s Path to Net Zero Analysed in New Study
'This includes reaching net zero with renewables only, or with different mixes of renewables and low-emission uses of fossil fuels, and with different rates of electrification of our energy use. We have even considered whether nuclear energy has a role to play.' (University of Melbourne) >
