Researchers develop reactor that refines waste carbon into chemicals while generating hydrogen source:GeekWireIn a world faced with dual concerns about climate change and growing energy needs, developing renewable replacements for fossil fuels has been a long-sought dream. While considerable progress has been made in converting various biomaterials into usable energy in recent years, refining them in an environmentally sustainable way has remained a challenge. Now, a team at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has developed an innovative flow cell reactor capable of refining waste ...

source:Science alertRare-earth elements are crucial components in all kinds of electronics, from smartphones and broadband cables to wind turbines and electric cars. But coming up with useful compounds that can expand our practical use of rare-earths is notoriously difficult, with unpredictable results.Now, scientists have come up with a clever way to help the search of new rare-earth compounds: A newly developed artificial intelligence system with predictive powers that will take us beyond what would be possible for humans in the lab.The type of AI used here is machine learning: as the name s...
