Each page in the “drinkable book” is printed with instructions in local languages. (Brian Gartside/Courtesy of pAge Drinking Paper) Imagine a book that has pages you can tear out and use to turn raw sewage into drinking water. Each page is implanted with silver or copper nanoparticles that kill bacteria when water passes through them. […]

Filtration processes using membranes could potentially reduce energy consumption compared to other separation methods. The membrane is very thin, […]
Read More →We have been learning so much reading all about compressed air energy storage online at Energystorage.org. We sampled some of our favorite questions and answers from their FAQ page. Read more online at http://energystorage.org/energy-storage/faq. Why do we need energy storage? The primary benefits are: Risk of Power Outages: Today’s electricity grid is increasingly vulnerable to […]
Read More →Advanced-adiabatic compressed air energy storage (AA-CAES) is an evolution of traditional CAES, designed to deliver higher efficiencies via a zero-carbon process. Operation is similar to traditional CAES in that energy is stored by compressing air with turbomachinery and storing in an underground cavern. The difference lies in the treatment of the heat of compression. Read […]
