Learn how chemical process modelling and dimensionless groups bridge the gap between laboratory bench-scale experiments and full-scale industrial production.

A groundbreaking discovery by a joint team of scientists from South Korea and Japan has led to the creation of a novel crystal material capable of “breathing” oxygen, offering a significant leap forward for clean energy and smart device technologies. Published in Nature Communications on August 15, 2025, this innovative crystal can repeatedly absorb and …

The vast unconventional shale oil reservoirs across the United States hold immense energy potential, yet a significant portion of their crude oil often remains trapped deep underground after initial extraction. Traditional methods typically leave behind as much as 90% of the original oil in place due to the complex, tightly packed rock formations. However, a …

In the quest for efficient and sustainable methods to extract valuable bioactive compounds from natural matrices, Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) has emerged as a transformative technology. Unlike conventional extraction methods that rely on external heating, MAE leverages the direct interaction of microwave energy with the sample and solvent, leading to rapid and volumetric heating. This unique …

The global push for sustainable energy sources has placed green hydrogen at the forefront, yet its widespread adoption faces a critical hurdle: the reliance on vast quantities of freshwater for electrolysis. With freshwater resources under increasing strain, the prospect of directly producing hydrogen from the planet’s most abundant resource—seawater—offers a transformative solution. A significant breakthrough …

Oslo, Norway – Norwegian nuclear project developer Norsk Kjernekraft and energy developer Ocean-Power have announced a collaboration to explore and develop concepts for floating nuclear power plants powered by small modular reactors (SMRs). A memorandum of understanding was signed on August 13, 2025, laying the groundwork for solutions that integrate emission-free nuclear energy with flexible …
