Increasingly sustainable, high-performance, safe and low-cost advanced materials for a new generation of green batteries: this is what ORANGEES, a 4 million euro project, is intended to develop. The project involves an all-Italian partnership made up of the National...
ENEA has launched a line of research to develop so-called e-fuels, green fuels for aircraft based on renewable hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The initiative, which also envisages the design of a pilot plant to be built in collaboration with...
How much impact do cars have on greenhouse gas emissions?A lot, one would say, to listen to the public and political debate of recent months and beyond. But no. As I pointed out in a previous post (High energy prices,...
"Agenda2030 focuses on sustainable development in every aspect of society, so publishing a manifesto on Sustainable Coding is first and foremost about focusing on one of the many dimensions of development. Today, the creation of value passes through the...
ENEA and the University of Bologna, in collaboration with Gruppo Hera and Irritec, have developed a technologically advanced prototype capable of purifying wastewater in order to use it to irrigate and fertilise cultivated fields, with benefits in terms of...
We hear a lot in recent weeks about the high cost of energy.Recent studies, such as the latest report by the Centro Studi di Confindustria, show that Italian industrial production is in sharp decline. One of the main causes...
Developing a new process for the recovery of high-value materials and metals from end-of-life mobile phones with a view to the circular economy. This is the aim of the PORTENT project, co-financed by the Lazio Region with about 140,000...
Topological insulators are characterized by zero electrical conduction within them, while currents with metallic character flow at their edges and surfaces. Moreover, in such currents, the spin of electrons, that is their property to rotate on themselves, shows a...
Developing innovative technological solutions to maximise the recovery of raw materials from end-of-life photovoltaic panels and creating a European industrial supply chain to produce new ones in a circular economy. This is the objective of the EU project PHOTORAMA,...
Let's start with the basics: hydrogen, which chemists like to identify with the letter H, is the most common element in the universe: almost 75% of all matter is made up of hydrogen. It may sound poetic, and perhaps...
