Researchers at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) in China have made significant progress in the development of the Organic Flow Battery (OAAB): the new device retains 99.95% of its capacity after 850 charging cycles. This breakthrough was achieved with naphthalene-based organic redox-active molecules (ORAMs), marking a major milestone in battery technology.
US-based Kronos Advanced Technologies and Yasheng Group have entered into a strategic partnership to develop a nuclear battery with an expected lifespan of up to 50 years. This pioneering technology aims to revolutionize energy storage by providing a reliable, long-lasting power source for critical sectors such as medical devices, aerospace, military applications, and even electric flight.
Aviation has long been a frontier of technological advancements, constantly seeking ways to improve efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and meet growing global demand. As the industry faces increasing pressure to cut carbon emissions, hydrogen power trains are emerging as a promising solution, capturing the attention of aircraft manufacturers, airlines, and environmentalists alike. But what does the future hold for hydrogen-powered aviation ?
Canada is emerging as a significant player in the global hydrogen landscape, thanks to its favorable geography, rich renewable resources, and stable political environment. A recent study published by researchers at ETH Zurich in the journal Nature delves into the potential of Canada as a key hub for hydrogen production. The research analyzes the economic and environmental impacts of various large-scale hydrogen production scenarios, projecting demand until 2050.
London Gatwick’s hydrogen infrastructure initiative: paving the way for sustainable aviation
