Harnessing the Entire Spectrum of Sunlight to Make Solar Energy More Efficient
https://scitechdaily.com/harnessing-the-entire-spectrum-of-sunlight-to-make-solar-energy-more-efficient/
Scientists for the first time have developed a single molecule that can absorb sunlight efficiently and also act as a catalyst to transform #solarenergy into hydrogen, a clean alternative to fuel for things like gas-powered vehicles.
https://news.osu.edu/chemistry-finding-could-make-solar-energy-more-efficient/
This new molecule collects energy from the entire visible spectrum, and can harness more than 50% more solar energy than current #solarcells can. The finding could help humans transition away from #fossilfuels and toward energy sources that do not contribute to #climatechange.
Converting CO2 to methanol is one way to put CO2 to good use. In research published today in Science, chemical engineers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute demonstrated how to make that conversion process from CO2 to methanol more efficient by using a highly effective separation membrane they produced.

This breakthrough, the researchers said, could improve a number of industry processes that depend on chemical reactions where water is a byproduct.

Raymond Allchin states that there is a powerful argument against the idea that the #Brahmi script has Semitic borrowing because the whole structure and conception is quite different. He suggests that the origin may have been purely indigenous with the Indus script as its predecessor.[76] However, Allchin and Erdosy later in 1995 expressed the opinion that there was as yet insufficient evidence to resolve the question.[77] G.R. Hunter in his book The Script of #Harappa and #Mohenjodaro and Its Connection with Other Scripts (1934) proposed a derivation of the Brahmi alphabets from the #IndusScript, the match being considerably higher than that of #Aramaic in his estimation.[78]
