Scientists have developed a method to turn plastic waste into clean hydrogen using solar power and acid from old car batteries. The one-pot process transforms hard-to-recycle plastics into valuable industrial chemicals and clean fuel, potentially creating a circular upcycling system that tackles multiple problematic waste streams at once, the researchers say. Condensation polymers like polyethylene […]
The off-grid solar project, encompassing 31.85 MW of solar connected to 75.26 MWh of battery energy storage, will supply energy to over 90,000 people in eastern Angola. May 6, 2026 Patrick Jowett Portuguese group MCA has inaugurated a 31.85 MW off-grid solar park tied to 75.26 MWh of battery energy storage in Angola. The Luau

An illustration depicting how an object with an atmosphere occults a distant star. (Image credit: NAOJ) A very small body, far from the sun in an icy outer realm of the solar system, has mysteriously grown an atmosphere — and scientists are stumped as to how and why this happened. One possibility is that the
The agreement is intended to streamline Masdar’s participation in EWEC’s renewable energy project pipeline, covering stages from early development through to financial close. “As the driving force behind the UAE’s energy transition, EWEC is at the forefront of a global shift towards sustainable, utility-scale power and water production,” said Ahmed Ali Alshamsi, CEO of EWEC. “This CFA with Masdar

TL;DR The Western debate about China’s industrial rise fixates on subsidies, but the real driver is commercialisation: the ability to take technology from laboratory to global market faster than any competitor. Government VC funds invested $184 billion in AI firms over two decades, but the resulting companies, BYD, CATL, DeepSeek, succeeded through state-funded domestic competition,
