Hydrogen fuel cells have emerged as a novel solution to address environmental challenges by providing a cleaner and more sustainable energy source. These fuel cells utilize a polymer electrolyte membrane that separates the electrodes and enables the flow of electricity. However, the inconsistent operation of fuel cells during acceleration and deceleration has led to the
Electric grid stability is becoming increasingly crucial as the world shifts to intermittent renewable power sources. In this context, scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK), have developed an algorithm that utilizes signals from pumped storage hydropower (PSH) projects to predict grid stability. This algorithm provides critical situational
The aviation market is currently facing significant challenges due to delays caused by supply chain constraints for both Boeing and Airbus. Boeing has been grappling with difficulties surrounding its star plane, the 737 MAX, prompting a major safety incident on Alaska Airlines in January. As a result, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has frozen Boeing’s
In recent years, there has been a growing demand for advanced battery technologies that can meet the increasing needs of the electronics industry. Engineers and chemists have been working tirelessly to develop innovative battery designs, resulting in the emergence of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). Unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries, ASSBs feature a solid electrolyte sandwiched between two
Technology giant Apple has managed to break out of its yearlong slump in sales, thanks in part to strong demand for its latest iPhone model and continued growth in its services division. However, as the company faces legal threats and struggles to regain its position as the most valuable publicly traded company in the United
The landscape of cinematography is rapidly evolving thanks to recent technological advancements.
