A French company, Equium, has developed an acoustic heat pump that uses the energy of sound to reinvent residential heating. It is powerful, ecological, and easy to use. The EQUIUM Acoustic Heat Pump (AHP) uses the thermo-acoustic effect which corresponds to the propensity of a sound wave to exchange heat…

Running errands, doing the daily shopping, or seeing a friend; let’s face it, most of our car journeys are short. In France, for instance, 60 per cent of workers use their car for home-to-work journeys of under five kilometres. These short and frequent trips aren’t without impact either, helping to…

Image credit: https://capow.energy/ Most of today’s AMR fleets are still dependent on batteries for power, requiring operators to invest precious resources in recharging, replacing, and recycling batteries. This increases the cost of support, reduces overall throughput capacity, creates an array of safety issues, and significantly increases operations expenses. …

RheEnergise’s, UK has introduced a High-Density Hydro system that pumps a special, hi-tech fluid uphill between storage tanks at times of low energy demand and cost. As energy prices rise, the fluid is released downhill through turbines, which generate electricity to supply the grid. RheEnergise’s mineral-rich fluid is two and…

Researchers at the University of Copenhagen and Ruhr University have recently made a significant advancement in the field of quantum physics by figuring out how to control two quantum light sources instead of just one. Quantum light sources, also known as single photons, are essential building blocks in quantum communication…

Made from graphene, the thin film can be used on floors, walls, and ceilings. When we have heater in the house, we tend to huddle around the heater in the peak winter season so as to get the maximum benefit of the heating. Well now with this new graphene thin…

Happy new year 2023 to you! This is my first newsletter of this new year. I have been doing some reading and picked up this inspiring and fascinating book “A Short History of Nearly Everything” by Bryson. …

The gravity-powered desalinator can also remove nano-plastics and bacteria from water using cheap and scalable nano-membranes According to the World Health Organization, 829,000 people are estimated to die each year from diarrhoea caused by unsafe drinking water, sanitation, and hand hygiene. At the same time, global warming is making it…

To avoid water-borne disease, these people must treat the water available to them before they can drink it. A popular method is to boil the water. However, this and other methods cause carbon emissions and…
