In this setting, we’re assuming that Wi-Fi is cheap, but 3G is expensive. In general, the ability to have cheap computers and cheap sensors means that we can generate a huge amount of data about our environment. Unfortunately, what’s not cheap is communications.” —Alejandro Cornejo, lead author on the paper.
Since the EU imposed sanctions on Russia in the wake of the invasion of Ukraine, there has been a redrawing of the global oil map, a new study by Transport & Environment (T&E) shows. It has been reported that these countries are importing Russian oil on the cheap and re-exporting it to the EU as jet fuel and diesel on the global market.

Although the researchers demonstrated this method in a small-scale, highly controlled environment with dimensions of just nanometers (billionths of a meter), they have already come up with concepts for scaling up the method and making it practical for real-world applications.
Europe’s demand for biodiesel for cars and trucks has likely wiped out forests the size of the Netherlands since the introduction of the EU’s green fuels law in 2010, according to a new study by Transport & Environment (T&E).
Seven of the 28 projects, which will be led by Dr PK Wong, Deputy Director (Research) at A*STAR’s Institute of Chemical and Engineering Sciences (ICES), will develop technologies to capture, store and utilize carbon dioxide effectively to address the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide and reduce its adverse effect on the environment.
Although the use of robotics is widespread in logistics, few solutions offer the capability to efficiently transport payloads both in controlled and unstructured environments. Four-legged robots are ideal for navigating any environment a human can, yet few have the features to autonomously move payloads. This is where LEVA shines.
Within all of the new Fiat EVs is an interior made of recycled and sustainable materials, like bamboo, that are all aimed at lowering their collective environment footprint. Fiat reveals the wild cheap electric ute that will spearhead its reinvention in Australia appeared first on EV Central. Fiat Concept Fastback.
In contrast, the principal metals in the new compound developed by the Brookhaven team are both abundant and cheap: $20 per kilogram for nickel and $32 per kilogram for molybdenum. In this new catalyst, nickel takes the reactive place of platinum, but it lacks a comparable electron density.
Such a system would create a minimal impact on the environment, and would likely be cheap, they figured. While previous battery designs have used metals or toxic chemicals, Narayan and Prakash wanted to find an organic compound that could be dissolved in water.
The hybrid material effectively catalyzes the conversion of liquid water to hydrogen gas while remaining stable in an acidic environment. A nanostructured hybrid of these two materials, however, remained active and stable even after 500 hours of testing in a highly acidic environment. Energy Environ. Source: BNL.
MOF manufacturing techniques have been limited as they are costly, slow and require large quantities of solvents, which can be toxic and harmful to the environment.
The researchers attributed the ability to change the intrinsic catalytic properties of Cu for this notoriously difficult reaction to the growth of the interconnected nanocrystallites from the constrained environment of the oxide lattice. We have a solution to this problem that’s made of copper, which is cheap and abundant.
Oil spill clean-up is an expensive and complicated process that often harms marine life and further damages the environment. The OHM (oleophobic hydrophobic magnetic) nanocomposite slurry can be used to coat any cheap, commercially available sponge.
For this purpose, borate glass, a cheap waste material that also requires processing, was added to it. Our technology allows the complete utilization of selected types of slag and thus solves the problem of anthropogenic load on the environment. Being located within the city limits, they pollute the environment. Background.
While the development of new photocatalysts that can split water by absorbing visible light has been worked on globally, there are cost- and environment-related issues because many of the available photocatalysts contain expensive rare metals, such as tantalum, or high concentrations of lead, which is very toxic. —Manikandan et al.
Long-range all-electric trucks like the Tesla Semi will not come cheap. The bill allocates $369 billion for programs that help fight climate change and preserve the environment, and it also includes a number of revamped EV tax credits. I really expect Tesla to raise prices on the Semi, its too cheap at this point.
Our experience so far is that ferrite magnets are an efficient, reliable and relatively cheap solution, both when it comes to the infrastructure and on-board sensor technology. Sensor fusion for precise autonomous vehicle navigation in outdoor semi-structured environments,” Intelligent Transportation Systems, 2005. —Jonas Ekmark.
For that reason, two-phase reaction media seem to be the most suitable environment for these particular enzymes. The results, the authors suggested in their paper, constitute a good starting point for efficient and cheap biodiesel production. The next step would be to adapt the methodology to readily available cheap waste oils.

For years now I’ve been wanting to have a shredder truck come to my house so I could get rid of all but the last 7 years worth of records, but I’ve been too cheap to actually make the call and dig into my wallet to pay for the truck to show up at my door and securely shred then recycle all that shredded paper.
While cellulosic biomass like corn stover and switchgrass is abundant and cheap, it is much more difficult to utilize than corn and sugar cane. Higher alcohols such as isobutanol are better candidates for gasoline replacement because they have an energy density, octane value and Reid vapor pressure that is much closer to gasoline, Liao said.
