Scientists have created a silicon-based water splitter that is both low-cost and corrosion-free. The novel device -- a silicon semiconductor coated in an ultrathin layer of nickel -- could help pave ...

While not a primary source of energy, hydrogen, because of its large energy density, provides a vehicle with which to store and transport energy. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells can use sunlight to ...

The discovery of isotopes in the early 20 th century marked a key moment in the history of physics and led to a much more refined understanding of the atomic nucleus. Isotopes are ‘versions’ of a ...

EPRO Advance Technology (EAT) has developed Si+, a porous silicon material, to generate ultra-pure hydrogen with volumetric energy density of 140 kg/m³ from a water source. The Hong Kong-based ...
