The global auto giant Stellantis has done a deal with a French battery-maker to secure fresh sodium-ion battery technology for its future EVs that could see electric cars finally undercut petrol cars on purchase price. Not that sodium-ion batteries are perfect, not just yet at least. READ MORE: Range anxiety solved?

In a separate yet related paper published in the ACS journal Energy & Fuels , a team led by Brown chemistry professor Paul Williard has created a new technique to chart the progress of the transesterification reaction in which virgin and waste oils are converted into biodiesel fuel. That makes the process less efficient.

A multi-institution team of researchers has developed a novel class of materials that enable a safer, cheaper, and more energy-efficient process for removing greenhouse gas from power plant emissions. The new technique employs an abundant and environmentally benign sorbent: sodium carbonate (the main ingredient in baking soda).

The first mass-produced electric vehicle (EV) using a sodium-ion battery has been introduced by JAC Motors. While lithium-ion batteries are more developed and have a higher density than sodium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries are cheaper, dependable, and have better cold-weather performance.

Solar panels are currently being distributed at a rate of more than 400 gigawatts per year, and the rate is expected to increase to a whopping 3 TW per year by 2030, according to a literature analysis by researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). But these processes are expensive and often involve toxic chemicals.

So when I decided to build a cheap DIY scintillating gamma spectrometer, it was the natural choice—although I didn’t realize I’d find myself navigating around teething problems of the sort that often affect a first-generation integrated circuit. Thus, by counting the number of photons, you can gauge the energy of the original gamma ray.
